now darin and stan have started filming for their movie, "the mountain's dream." the little crew worked on it all day sunday and monday. jocelyn (yes, mykool's sister) is the female lead. she was a sweet presence around our house for a couple days although i hardly saw her with working so much.
sunday night darin played a show at jacob's house. a lot of people were there and responded vigorously to his deep dark smoky lightningstriking ghostly songs. then a few people came back here to our house to watch the meteor shower. we stayed up on blankets in the backyard till three a.m. i'd say we saw at least 30, 40 shooting stars!!! stan saw a giant cross in the sky, and right after that jesus sent us two blazing emblems of His love. we like to think. it was pretty amazing. new moon perseids.
also, on thursday i went to a woman-gathering at mary's as kind of a bridal shower. she is now married to ben woods, and they are on their honeymoon WALKING up-river all the way to highway 88 through the wilderness. under the falling stars, pretty romantic. anyway our day together thursday was wondrous. us girls presented the quilt we made them. mary loved it. carolann and rebecca are the ones who put the most work into it and were so proud and beaming. we are starting a quilting group that will continue on and on until we are old. we are going to rent a house by the ocean and make quilts and drink tea and tell stories when we are old ladies. we are going to rent "how to make an american quilt" and cook food and love each other. i am truly blessed to have such great girlfriends. i have especially been bonding with carolann...right now she's camping with her family and shane and i miss her!
much more goodness to come. we'll all be together except addie and darin and art, starting tomorrow!!!! hooray!!! blessings and joy upon us all.
me and daphne today

What times. I'm pretty jealous of your perseids-viewing. I meant to drive up to squaw peak last night or sunday night while up all night, to watch while I was reading. But I didn't. Too much reading, trying to catch up. But I bet Stan saw the northern cross in Cygnus (the swan). It's a beautiful summertime asterism, right directly overhead, very bright and I'm sure in the placerville darlington ave nighttime it was perfect and bright and covered with perseids.
You're a good gang of girls. And Darin's musical love is muchdeserved. Teach me how to quilt--I know what batting is and what tying is. And I want to walk upriver in wilderness with nothing much at all except the people I love with me . . . that's true romance right there.
sorry everyone, but abby's totally my favorite family member.
