We are so humbled by the love we felt at Gianni's party yesterday. Thank you all for coming! It means the world to us! Today, we played and played and played! Such a fun day!

There were a couple of small black & white birds hanging out, all morning, on the lilac bush outside of this window. The cats were on alert there the whole time. We hung some yarn pieces on the branches & put out a birdseed bell, hoping that the birds would build a nest somewhere close.

The first is just a nice train/mountain picture.
The second shows an empty car-carrier thingy that had just passed us. When it was closer, Dick said "Want to do a Hollywood stunt...?"
The third show the exit to Tehachapi for all you Little Feat fans out there...

Party!

My current boss "asked" me to send pictures of our trip, so I've been taking them... Took a day off the road today (3/30/11) (for me to work and for Dick to rest), so I wanted to send them on to the family too.

The first is us leaving San Francisco. If I had a better camera, you could see the building I worked in in the distance.

The second is some nice rolling hills just past Gilroy, the garlic capital of the US.

The last is the sock I'm working on. I'm determined to have two by the time we hit Alabama!

This is how she decided to eat her corn tonight.

Origami cranes that she made to send to the Girl Scouts of Japan, along with a donation of money that she found around the house.

Fred, Dylan and Meg waiting for "Secret Colours" last show of the week. It never happened...the police came by and shut the party down (they had gotten a noise complaint)

Gianni got his first birthday card! I just can't believe he is going to be 2 already!

Playing at a frat house. That's their friend, Lenny, lying on the ground (he was taking pictures for the "Red Eye Chicago". And, then rocking out at "Agave", they got asked to come back and play later that night (which they did).

Brotherly love - although, Gianni is more like, get this kid off me! : )

The first "Secret Colours" show that we attended in Austin, TX as part of the South by Southwest festival. It was being filmed (for what...I don't know). Then they got interviewed after that show (I think it was a guy from Q101). The last photo is of their official "showcase" show.

Maureen March 16, 2011

Finally! The weather's nice enough to start hanging the laundry outside, again!

Miranda March 16, 2011

Spring is here!? I can't believe how fast these flowers are growing!
