Guess Who's Coming for Dinner

Warren Edwin Davidson came over for dinner after appearing on my dads radio show today. The food, thanks to my mother, was delicious but the music that followed was far more delicious.
Warren shared quite a few stories and folk songs with my family and I.
He is the Author of a book called Say No To Counterfeit Health Care - Yes To The Alternative. 
His website is: www.drugfree.biz/
Shelter Me, Lord

Codine Blues

Warren was pretty quiet up until he started talking about
the songs and telling the stories behind them.
I feel like he and I are so on the same page emotionally when it comes to music.
I love feeling connected to those who are of different generations than I.

Plantin' Potatoes.

Feels good to get my hands dirty. My feet dirty. My spirit earthy ;)

Zero Control & Still Glad.

Today: I was CARless. Vehiclely deficient. My mother dropped me off at the mall. I got clostraphobic in the stores so I waited 7 minutes for a pretzelmaker to make me a pretzel dog. During which time I got teary and emotional about all the people and how commercialized society has become and vowed to never buy clothing again. Which lasted only 20 minutes. I decided to stick to the outside of the mall for emotional safety. Walking through the parking lot singing David Bowie songs until I came across a few fellow humans...who I quickly avoided...how social of me. I found myself a lonesome curb to sit upon. But while in the process of sitting I ripped my pants. Just a little ;) Just enough. I grabbed my pretzel dog out of the bag but before it could reach my mouth that dear dog slid out of the pretzel and may have fallen on the ground. I picked up that dog and ate it anyway.  It was not delicious. So with hands that smelled of mustard I bought a scarf.
      It's been such a long time since I've gotten my hair cut. Months and months. That's what happens when you don't work at the salon no mo. Which I'm grateful for in so many ways. I don't miss so many things about that atmosphere. And I love living in an environment where I'm not constantly reminded of womans need to be vain and materialistic.
      So...it's also been a long time since I've had such a conservative hairstyle. No neon orange, no pixie, no a-lign, no asymmetrical haircut. Not even drastically short and choppy child-like bangs. And to be honest I don't think I'm really very happy with it. We'll see in a week. See what I can do with it. I would be thinking about going in to get my bangs cut different and shorter but they've been thinned out so much I don't dare do anything :( thinning shears were not meant for girls with already not so thick hair. Don't care what you tell me or how long you've been doing hair or even how long you've been doing MY hair...I may be going back to cutting my own hair. Is there anyone you can really trust in this world?

After:

I think I can handle it though. I can tolerate, even love any hairstyle. I"m convinced ;)

Creamy Turmeric Tea

mmm. Today I recreated this delicious drink a naked french woman shared with me on a beach in Hawaii ;)

Coconut Milk

Fresh Chopped Ginger

Cayenne Pepper

Turmeric

Raw Honey

Vanilla Bean Extract

&

Cardamom

The batch she made was cold and had chunks of fresh coconut meat, garlic, goatmilk and most likely wild hawaiian fruit. I wish I could remember what she called it. I'm glad I at least wrote the ingredients down in my journal! Truly so sweet and spicy and delicious.

Kitty Cat Update.

So we finally said goodbye to the last of Tempe's kittens last night. 

Broke my heart. When a family left with the last two Temperance ran out on the porch after them. I had to grab her and hold her for a long while.

The saddest part was when my dad closed the door and turned around with tears in his eyes!

He's so good at pretending he doesn't love our cats.

That stinker.

Poor Mama. 

I have to snuggle her ALL the time. 

She just needs a couple weeks to be sad :(
