| Some of our SF Uke Rebellion People (me, Margaret, Nancy and Sue with another group merge to play ukes and sing for the Fire Fighters at the Stanyan Street Fire Station in San Francisco on a very blustery rainy Dec. 23rd, 2012! it was really fun! |
Today I awoke to a blustery rain storm. I guess when the weather
forecast says 100 percent chance of rain they're usually right! Not gonna stop
me! Last night I had fun at the South Bay acoustic open mic in Campbell . Hung with friends I hadn't seen in
a while sang Xmas songs but the most epic moment was when I joined Rick Duncan
on ukulele and sang the who's squeeze box with him. Sometimes the most
spontaneous thing can be the coolest ever... He rocked a guitar solo and
well it was cool!
my friend Mike H. was there and he caught me on video!
Today I meet my friend Margaret at the BART station and head
for San Francisco
for a day of uke playing and Xmas caroling after with ukes in tow! Yea it's
stormy but I don't have to drive and as long as we keep our ukes dry we are
golden! We went to our host and hostesses' flat on fifth avenue off Irving Street afterwards and partaked in merriment and snacks and when Sue drove me and Margaret back to the BART station, I pointed to the corner of Fifth and Irving and said I used to wait for the SF Examiner newspapers every day as a kid -- and I experienced my first kiss on that corner...!
One of the biggest highlights of yesterday was when we
sang Christmas songs for the firefighters working at the Firehouse on Stanyan St. in San Francisco between the
rain storms! in my old neighborhood where I grew up in San Francisco ! It was perfect.

Christmas came and went and this year as Christmas Eve
slipped into Christmas, no MAJOR crises happened. I did not have to bail anyone
out of jail! Of course there were those frieghtening moments when I was
hopelessly lost in the Berkeley Hills on Christmas Eve in an attempt to pick up
daughter Megan...and the all GPS's failed me! but we still had a nice visit
with my Dad and as we drove the 140 miles home, Christmas music played on the
radio...Sacramento 93.1 -- then we listened to Fab Four Christmas and of course
Jimi Hendrix...and as we sailed through Sacramento, I thought...last year at
this time we were all here...for Chirstmas!

This morning Jeremy got up before
his son...because he said he was "excited" about Baby Jeremiah and
Christmas...this kid is grown with a son of his own and some things NEVER
change...! Baby Jeremiah was the hit of Christmas...he was delighted by all the
toys and especially LOVED the task of tearing open the wrapping paper! Liezl
cooked an AMAZING breakfast FEAST for us all!!!! then I got out of my ukulele
and played and sang holiday songs cuz Stevie said "Happy Christmas' was
his favorite and of course I had to agree. and Melissa loves Mele Kalikanaka
and well, I played and sang a bunch of songs...Baby Jeremiah LOVED it the most!
he wanted me to keep playing whenever I stopped...followed me around yelling
"ullele!" I have a major fan! (and Beatles music is his fave of
course)...yes, it was a good day and it's not over yet...the movie "Home
Alone" is on (We watched A Christmas Story about four times
today!)...Melissa, Stevie and Liezl have left...and Baby Jeremiah is almost
ready for bed...
Oh and we had a Chinese food FEAST for dinner!!!!
