We are so tired.  We're at the end of two exhausting weeks of something-huge-to-do-every-day.  Some of it was just for fun, some of it was just work, and a lot of it was a mix of the two.  In just the last 14 days, we've:

Visited a few times with the "other" Jess, and finally met gorgeous Homegirl. 

Been out to River's Wish about a million times as we prepped for, threw, and then cleaned up after a very huge, very successful auction fundraiser. 

Kind of kept up with the garden.

Saw two Old Bear Mountain shows in one night, and were treated with my lovely friend Lauren's company for the night.  

 Went to RW a few more times.

Cashed in an Indian's game box seat that we won as a family at an auction at Step-Dad's church this spring.

Got to see some of but not nearly enough of our family at various get-togethers.

Celebrated our tenth anniversary and rocked it like a hurricane at karaoke night on a mini-trip to visit the sisters.  And again, Ms. Lauren joined in, both for the evening and for a wicked Sublime duet with yours truly which I must say, nearly brought the house down.  KT, B and I worked our way through lots of early 90's country - Reba, The Judds, and some Garth.  (Because it's always more fun to sing songs you don't even need the prompter for.)

Fun fact: The Hubs LOOOVES karaoke.  It makes him feel like a rockstar and he gets so into it, it's really fun to watch.

This is EXACTLY what the Hubs and Freya look like when they wrestle.  My teddy bears.

I got a new phone, and a way to share videos online!  Hot damn, this will be fun.  The hubs is building me the most beautiful garden in the world this summer.  More to come.

Love, J

Parsley

Parsley for Freya in the morningtime.

RWAS spring pics

This visit to the sanctuary was a while ago, things are warmer and greener up there now.

We're gearing up for the first Art for the Animals auction actually AT River's Wish, and it's going to be so great.  Friday, July 19th.  We're holding the auction and dinner in the barn - just look at that photo and think "less hay, more lights and people and fun."

Love, J

White Cat Pink show

Cousin "White Cat Pink" came to play a show in Spokane.  When he was done with his set, pretty much everyone in the bar wanted their picture taken with him; they also wanted to know when he'd be back to play again.

Sweater for baby E

My friend refers to her new daughter as "homegirl," and this will never, ever fail to make me smile.

This is her sweater, which judging from Homegirl's growing little self in my friend's FB posts, may actually fit her by now.  (Ha, just in time for summer in Las Vegas.  Perfect!)

Love, J
