sly

went to sly park again yesterday. went out on miss eileens boat.. watched everyone wakeboard and it was cool. i won't wakeboard tho.. no way man. im not athletic at all and i'm afraid of water for the most part. i can't even go underwater with out plugging my nose. here are two photos i took with my phone.. my sister has other photos on her camera.

this weekend i am going to berkley with lisa for a wedding on sunday, we are leaving saturday at noon so we can scope out the area and the lighting beforehand. i've never been to berkley. but my parents are leaving for silver lake on sunday and staying until friday i think. so i wont see them at all before i leave for utah. sad. dang. but i am excited for utah it's gonna be jam packed with excitement.

some new additions

to my room. my room is like a gathering spot for all things colorful and random. my room makes no sense yet it makes all the sense in the world. it is so peaceful and welcoming. it makes visitors drowsy. it also makes people curious, just about everyone glances around and wants to touch it all. i love my "stuff" so here are just a few additions -

#1 - metal rust colored branch hooks. i don't really know what they are for. but i found them at a thrift store and decided to hang my jewelry from them.
#2 mirror frames. i loved these alot. so i framed two photographs sam & i took on a nature hike. he took the photos, but i found the objects to take photos of. they look so pretty
#3 gold frame. and i framed a photograph sam & i took of salt lake city. it looks lovely in the frame.
#4 magazine holder with 2 new books. the magazine holder is from my moms estate she is liquidating. and the 2 books are: women before 10am & men before 10am too. really cool books - a check off my book list.


felt like showing off. i also have been making earrings. i think i might try to sell them. they are feather earrings and some have sharks teeth. check it out: (& all of the feathers i found in the yard, not store bought. same with sharks teeth - found them in florida with my grandma when i was a wee bonnie lass.)

this is for you nataloke

carlucci tradition - probably the first time

look how teeny pres was!!!

amazing tahoe 4th of july weekend part 1

we went to zepher beach for the 4th. it was PACKED. this photo isn't very good , but the shore line was loaded with people and boats blasting music. tents and drinks were everywhere. and .. here's the best part.. i wanted to go on a jet ski SO BAD that i asked two boys i've never met to take me & brooke out on the lake on their jet skis... so we did ! it was the funnest thing ive done so far this summer. it was also my first time being out on lake tahoe.. weird i know.

this photo is from the top deck at the cabin brookes friends rented in the tahoe keys... it was so fun and beautiful there. this is were we spent our 4th of july night. it was a load of fun. me & brooke had a blast. she has some awesome photos of us being ridiculous on her camera so i'll get those later.

this is a photo of a person para sailing on the lake.. i was watching with desire. i want to do that next time i go up to tahoe. i always achieve my goals, anyone who knows me knows this fact! para sailing.. be ready for me ! -

this firework photo was taken in the water. me and brooke walked out into the water pretty far from shore because it was so shallow and warm. it was a perfect place to watch fireworks. all the shores had them going on, we saw west east north and south.. south was the best as always. took this photograph for lilian my friend in utah who didnt get to have a real 4th of july .

more to come later these are just from my phone ... loved my weekend!
