July 18 Row
We saw a seal TWICE, but of course, by the time I started filming, she was long gone.
Roof and Side Panel Progress
I’m happy to see that there has been major progress on the roof and side paneling for the house. I was passing by to check the mail. This encourages me since I recently felt a little frustrated with what seems like an endless road of roadblocks with the progress.
Belated Birthdays Brunch
Noel and Mark were kind enough to throw us a belated brunch for our birthdays, so we enjoyed ourselves in their amazing backyard.
Mark made a quiche and pastries and we had coffee and yellow beet with feta. We brought some bubbly and a fruit salad with granola and yogurt.
Shea does the “Bonnie Wash”!
July 14 Morning Row
Despite the current and winds, we did a Power-Sixty-Pyramid, so we felt pretty accomplished all before 8 am!
July 2024 Vallejo Gay Network Potluck
Another amazing party hosted by Manny and Wendell on Mare Island! So many cool people not pictured here, but it was a wonderful crowd.
Bastille Day Coffee at Moschetti
Friend and mayoral candidate, Andrea Sorce, was speaking there.
Furniture from Fire
This is the only piece of furniture that I tried to have professionally cleaned which sort of survived the fire in January at my house AFTER having survived my mother’s fire eight years prior. It still smells like fire, which is sort of triggering for me, so it’s currently in my garage, despite the “professional” attempt to clean it. I don’t know if I can find someone talented or patient enough to ever paint it again, but here is the current 2024 condition and from 2020 between the two fires. My family bought this when we lived in Spain in the mid-1970s and it’s one-of-a-kind based on my research. It has a proletariat message and comes from the Catalonia region where we lived.
Restful Pool Day
Keiana and Aaron’s Wedding
I was Shea’s plus-one at his cousin Keiana’s wedding in San Francisco at City Hall. The reception later on was at an Italian restaurant called Palio. We also stopped by City Lights Bookstore, which was my first time there. We looked for cannolis in North Beach, but we ran out of time and there was tons of good food to be had anyway.
