supporting local music - a potential series?

the girls before the show
We don't go out much, but when we do, it's usually to support local music. When I started gathering this post together, I realized that I really need to start taking photos at the shows. How lame am I? Sharing all this great local music with you, at cool friendly venues, and then just showing you pictures of us getting dressed up? I suck! Well, I have been thinking about it quite a bit, and you can expect to see more posts about local music in the future, more photos of the bands and venues, if I get lucky maybe even some interviews and behind the scenes on some of our local rock stars. We have so much fun going out, but we don't drink much and we are all in great relationships, so most of the usual "party activities" aren't really our thing. Checking out local bands is a great way to get out some pent-up energy and just have some fun. There's always people dancing and being themselves, from punks to hippies to jocks and more. It's always a good time.

I scored some great new merch at the show, a HANOI JANE t-shirt, patch, and cd (not pictured).
Maybe it has something to do with the sweet leopard print tights Amy let me borrow?

Until next time,

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

a new project

I stumbled upon a website last week about low impact woodland homes, essentially: hobbit houses. Dug into a hillside and covered with earth to create an efficient and beautiful house. They are made with roundwood framing, using oak trees left whole as the timbers. Straw bales are used for insulation in the walls and under the floor. They used a natural lime plaster on the walls, recycled materials for everything possible, thrifted doors and windows. All together this husband/father and his father in law built a house for under $4000 in about four months.  I have been blown away by the ideas and resources available on the subject. We have spent hours already discussing the outbuildings we will need in the future, such as barns, root cellars, storage sheds, animal shelters, and well we could definitely use a few cabins around. If we can utilize the materials around us in this way, it's possible for us to create an incredible farm, beautiful, efficient, and sustainable....

Justin and Savannah's Wedding - The Reception

The ceremony was simple and sweet, and the reception was the perfect party. A band on the porch, delicious food and drinks, cake and dancing. It was an epic night for everyone involved.   Until next time, Angela Kelly
