I feel I've done a pretty good job sharing our day-to-day Haerr Happenings on my daily blog but sometimes, events fall through the blogging cracks and I get behind. This post has to be one of the more eclectic I have ever written. I hope you enjoy this effort at catching up.

Music was enjoyed with Lee, Margaret and their friends for an afternoon at Valhalla.

"Paul Kamm, Jonny Mojo and Shelby Snow are singer/ songwriters and front men of the Northern California Roots and World music/Rock and Roll jam band, Achilles Wheel. As an acoustic trio they bring the same high energy and engaging stage presence to a quieter place, combining a bit of Country and Bluegrass to the band’s famously hard driving sound. But it’s the infectious quality of their songwriting that really shines in this setting, and the diverse nature of it as well. Paul and Jonny work off of each other like two sides of the same coin, actively looking for and pushing each other to find the most in whatever song they’re playing. Shelby on the bass is like a river, both calm and turbulent, that runs through it and ties it all together."

Every morning I continue to play, and get frustrated by, Wordle. My co-players are Jan, Karen and Jenny which makes the challenges tolerable and victories sweeter.

We even found this cool mid-century modern house to ogle. I hope to find out more about it. Who, here in South Lake Tahoe, would create such a groovy space at least sixty years ago? Very, very cool.

Oh, and I gathered Sugar Pinecones to bake for a friend on the east coast who has never seen these before. So if you ever asked yourself, "Hmmm, I wonder how Denise keeps herself busy", I hope you have a better idea. Eclectic indeed.
