There’s more! As Recreation Director, I’m supposed to help put on a couple of annual events. For the last two years, the CLHG Easter Egg Hunt had been canceled due to Covid. Thanks to super-volunteer Corinne Poulson, the event was back and dozens of families showed up to enjoy the fun…

In my previous post, I featured some student art work. This batch shows the process in both the art room and the tin shed, and it features some supplements – Puente-sponsored art therapy, Dan Geraci’s metal arts, and some ceramics aided by local potter Tom Shuman. And there’s some shenanigans too…

A very random batch: First up, an event at Pie Ranch which features their new ranch house being rebuilt after the fires. There’s also part of a property that was purchased, a Scrabble game, more pix of the Daniel’s Nature Center, and Charlie looking scary (but happy?)…

Here’s an art batch: First up, Beauty and the Beast featuring Tristan Deacon. Then, some of Delma Soult’s artwork, the cool octopus sculpture on the Santa Cruz pier, and one by Lynette Vega. Then, a group of art pix from Kaiser hospital, some therapeutic. Finally, the ceramics shelves at school, kids exploring, and the results of our first commission, redoing the signs for the La Honda Fair! Enjoy…

Randomized: Hanging out with Mom, Kind Peoples, the rebuilt shelves in the PHS library, the visiting Mountain Lion at the end of the school year, the reorganized CLHG storage shed, and the San Mateo County recycling center…

More art: Redwood city, a poster by Alicia Ortiz, and some nature art – the last project for art therapy…

Amazingly, I kept these paintings from Françoise Gilot’s painting class during the summer of 1977. These were hers and I kept them thinking they might be worth something – and they might! Especially, now that I’ve learned she is still alive and over 100 years old. I might ask her to confirm that she painted them…

For this largest batch, our trip to Tahoe for a few days with Aunties Louanne & Sharon. I was able to kayak from Baldwin Beach to Emerald Bay and around little Fannette Island and the tearoom on top…

For this last batch, another CLHG event – the 4th of July Picnic. Again, we were coming out of Covid, and again, Corinne led the charge. Most pix are of the game winners and the tug of war, but I threw in a great blue heron at the pond, a striking flower, the cabin at our house, and a chart of the Wilder-McCrary Loop trail which I’ve been enjoying recently. Enough for now…

Thanks for your patience!
