This Saturday you'll find me and my family at Armstrong Woods, enjoying a festival of Motown celebration with live music, wine, beer, and food, all to benefit the Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods, an organization desperately trying to keep our redwood park open in the face of state de-funding. This will be a lot of fun. Starts at 4 p.m. and is the only event allowed in the Armstrong Woods 1930's era amphitheater. See the link for more details. Please do join me. You'll be glad you did!

Russian River Getaways Office

If you haven't been to the Russian River Getaways office, you might want to walk by sometime. It's actually an historic building, part of the original train depot buildings in the early part of the century, with an addition. It's elevated 14' (yes, it floods that much here every twenty years or so). I'm a rose fancier, so the front yard (and for that matter the back yard) is full of roses, along with wisteria. All quite lovely when everything is blooming.

Walkng down Main Street today and saw this gorgeous piece of marble sculpture in the Withywindle Gallery window. Oh for a spare $1500...BTW, the pink elephant in front of the River Theater is gone, so the mystery thickens.

What's with the pink elephant?

Shrimp fajitas at the River Inn tonight, which happens to be next door to Jerry Knight's River Theater. Taking an entire parking place in front of the River Theater is a rather large pink elephant. Why, pray tell? Can anyone enlighten me, especially since we have a bar in Monte Rio called the Pink Elephant which is currently being renovated? I'll let you know if I solve the mystery. In the meantime, we can enjoy this very cute pink elephant.

Oils and Vinegars at Whitetail Wine Bar

Just wanted to mention that most of the delectable oils and vinegars served at Whitetail Wine Bar are made by Via Giusti, served with a Nightingale baguette from Forestville. The Via Giusti products are strawberry balsamic vinegar, mushroom sage oil, blood orange olive oil, chocolate balsamic vinegar, and basil garlic olive oil. Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd probably go for the blood orange. The Wine Bar also serves black truffle oil, mediterranean herb oil, and a couple of classics. Can't wait to go back....
