After a round with the young folks (who are celebrating drinksgiving). We moved on for a night out, the calm before the storm! First comes the turkey trot 5k, tomorrow morning, then the bloody Mary’s!
A new guitar is always exciting, but when it’s made by a friend, that’s really exciting!! Thanks so much to Gus Guthrie and his wife Marty for hosting us while I played his beautiful works of art and selected this gorgeous guitar!
An epic night with Dead & Co! Bob Weir looking and sounding great! John Mayer is such a beast on the guitar!
@liltrombs gave me a squirrel picnic table for Christmas and I have been screwing corn cobs onto it for months. The corn is always gone but it took till Mother’s Day to catch an actual picnicking squirrel!!! The whole family witnessed it, a beautiful event!
Perfect weather for a bike ride with @liltrombs and a beer at the end!
