On a wonderfully warm evening we decided to go into to Sonoma for some dinner and a movie.
We had a very nice dinner in Taste of the Himalaya's. We do love India, Nepal, Burmese, etc. food.
After dinner we went into the Sebastiani theatre to see Brave.
The story was OK, Mom wants everything for her daughter. She educates, provides, directs her daughter until she is so overwhelmed by her mothers wishes for her she goes to a witch and gets a "curse" which turns her Mom into the worst possible thing.....a Bear...considering that her Dad is THE BEAR killer it's ironic.
I do feel that the Cinematography was awesome.

Kayaking on the Russian River
Beth took Thursday and Friday off so we have been able to have fun together!
Today we loaded both kayak's stacked one on top of the other, on my roof rack and started off for the Russian River. On the ride we really were not sure what we were going to do, as we were not able to find anyone who ran shuttles, in order to drop the kayak's up river to go with the flow, and meet the car down river.
The drive was about 30 miles total, off 101 @ River Road and to Guerneville. We arrived at Johnson Beach and at the boat launch we asked a man next to us how we could drop a car. He did not know but he recommended that we simply kayak upstream for some time and then come back, thus avoiding having to drop a car and that is exactly what we did.
On our journey we saw a Hawk with a 8 to 10 inch fish in it's claws fly back to the nest. A large group of young Wood Ducks and plus other Mallards. But our favorite are the Tree Swallow's. They sweep and circle over the river and when you see their blue-green back as they fly they are wonderful.
We figure we went about 3.5 miles up stream with the wind at our backs. On the trip bak it was much easier except we we going into the wind. We had a fantastic time and came home to enjoy the last of our dogs and burgers.

The 4th of July - 2012 Kenwood/Sonoma & Parties
We woke up to a wonderful Sonoma day started off with our local parade. It is about 4 blocks long, west off of Highway 12. I enjoy that the parade reflects the community, we have our local newspaper, old classic cars, LOUD new Fire trucks, a 125 Years for the Kenwood Depot along with all the people.
After the parade we went to the Glen Ellen Market and ran into Joshua R. and we then saw Holly and Peter's new home, across the street from there current one. It is fantastic for them.
From seeing Holly we learned of and decided to crash 2 Sonoma parties......John and Gale's and Rick and Renee's. It was great to do but busy and we were tired when we laid down to see the fireworks.
They certainly pleased us very much, here is the last minute 40.
