Streetscape Ribbon Cutting

We braved the cold and rain to attend the Streetscape ribbon cutting yesterday. It was a great celebration, and well attended by many people we knew. From the Chamber I saw Bruce and Annette Cosgrove, Bill and Nancy Rad, Rich Johnson and his wife, Rob Huckins and Bob Roth.

From the Journal I saw Debi ,Lawrence, Deric, Tony H. and handsome Ben.

From the county I saw Jim Holmes.

From downtown I saw Jim Bril, Ralph and Harvey Roper, Marcello, Cari Thachuk and Heidi Hook, and Ann Rivero.

From Old Town I saw Linda Robinson, Reese Browning and Ty Rowe.

From the City I saw Bob and Jen Richardson, Mike Holmes, Keith Nesbitt, Bridget Powers, former City Council Cheryl Maki and Bob Snyder, and Bernie.

I went to the celebration with my friends Lora LaPorte and Alan Campbell, my husband and Irv.

Where's a cop when you need one?

I got a kick out of this one - some Auburn "yute" doing donuts at the Clipper Gap exit. And you know there are always six CHP cars at the speed trap right across the overpass.

My Diva Birthday Party

I had my fabulous Diva birthday party last night at Chevy's. Our server Bobby took real good care of us.

My friend Linda Robinson, who owns Sunriver Clothing arranged the whole thing. Also in attendance were my very good friend Irv Eastman, Ruby Evers, Pam Trice, Shari Smith, my husband Faber, of course, Nancey Hollandthen, Linda's husband Chip Perley, my friend Kelly Fulfer, who I haven't seen in the longest time, Debi Lawrence and her sister Denni, a woman that I don't know, Leslie, Cheryl Wright and her mother Marilyn, who owns Marilyn's Fashionation, Pat Brown and her fiancé Ron, Betty Gadberry and Elan from Colfax, and the new girl Monique.

I have lots of fabulous presents. Shari Smith brought me a Rose of Sharon bush that she's been growing for several years. Linda gave me a cape. Pam Trice gave me the beautiful paperweight from Eisley's. Laurie Nelson gave me a very cute coffee cup. Pat Brown gave me an aspargus serving dish that she made in ceramics. Elan from Colfax gave me of photograph that was taken at the Chamber Installation dinner. There is a bath gift set. Ruby gave me a tiny bud base that hangs from the mirror or any other flat surface. Elan also gave me an oil diffuser, I love those. Marily gave me a yellow T-shirt. It was a fabulous birthday partyand I was very happy that so many of my friends came and brought me presents especially since I have been neglecting the Diva's so much in the last six months as I was getting ready for my surgery.
