We were in Manzanita over David’s birthday and celebrated him with our friends, Matt and Meghan 🙂
Happy Birthday David!

Art Time with Jules
Jun 20th, 2024 by leigharev2
My friend, Jules, is an artist who enjoys exploring different mediums. She invites me regularly to create with her. This time, we played around with resin pours. I did a pour on a round cutting board. It was a pretty fun process.
Misc. Manzanita Winter Beauty
Jun 19th, 2024 by leigharev2
David and I decided to visit Manzanita for a few weeks in winter. We got to enjoy a light snowfall. Lovely. I also enjoyed a ‘girls night out’ in Astoria with Jules, Lisa, Barb, Mary Lou, and Maddie. We went to a movie in an old theater that had nasty carpet on the walls, and then late night drinks and appetizers at the Bowline Hotel. Sea Lions sang to us. It was fabulous. We had so much fun, it was decided this would be a regular outing and Lisa named us ‘The K*ll*ng Club’, because the movie was so bad, it was like, “k*ll me now!’ LOL
The remaining shots are just random captures of why this is our happy place…

Needle Felting
Jun 18th, 2024 by leigharev2
A fun new hobby. I started making felted hearts. I call them hugs. Then, a fox for David, a penguin for Alex, and a gnome for Ryan. This year’s Valentines for my Valentines <3
SIX
Jun 17th, 2024 by leigharev2
Before attending a Broadway musical, I like to listen to the music ahead of time so I an enjoy the play even more. The music from’Six’ is such a joy, I wondered if it would usurp ‘Hamilton’ as my favorite. Well, it didn’t, but it was a terrific production, nonetheless. A fun outing with good friends, and a couple new ones. Dinner at Paesano’s after, and drinks at 58 Degrees and Holding after that. (Erin, Elyse, Michelle, Shannon, Crystal, Kelly, Stacy, Rhonda).
Frost or Fog Quarter Marathon 2024
Jun 17th, 2024 by leigharev2
These beautiful sole/soul sisters (Gloria, Shannon, Lori, Sally), joined together for a fun quarter marathon walk. It rained pretty much they whole time and we all got soaked even in all our rain gear, but it did not dampen our spirits. Brunch after at the cute Brick House Cafe.
Dar Williams/Amy Ray Concert
Jun 16th, 2024 by leigharev2
While we were showing Numan around Grass Valley, David learned about this concert at their local events center. He surprised me with tickets for this and two other concerts! He and I used to attend Dar Williams concerts, and Indigo Girls (Amy Ray is one of them) back in Seattle, so this concert was especially special, going back to the early years of our relationship. Ryan joined us and we had a lovely night out.
Misc. Winter Shots

My friend Barb had posted these crazy photos of an ice storm in Manzanita. We were in Cali at the time. Crazy. The collage photo is of a walk David and I did at Griffith Quarry Park in Penryn.
Birthday Party in L.A.
Jun 16th, 2024 by leigharev2
So.much.fun. Annie and I were roomies and Lisa chauffered us around. She took us to this neat east Indian market that also had a counter service lunch. It was delicious. Then we went to the Venice canals and walked throughout and saw gorgeous properties. We also walked along Venice Beach and enjoyed watching skateboarders and people watching. It was quite mellow compared to what it could be like. Our mutual friend Cori sadly was sick and could not join us for the big group dinner she had coordinated. There were about 12 of us. It was an amazing weekend!
