I have been working 5-6 eves a week. No concerts since Labor Day. I had over 500 saved up e-mails today and deleted 300 and also have a month worth off MM mails to read. Well, this week I am in Angel's Camp, CA- south of Lake Tahoe and north of Yosemite, east of Antioch- a place new to me and I am about to go off to the little town here and explore. I hope to go skiing starting Mon but it is green grass here, reminds me of late Oct back home in CT in my other life. Maybe there is really snow further east in the mountains - the sign on the highway said chains required so I hope so. I guess this was an old gold mining town. I am glad to see there is some sharing still going on here. I am unaware of any Patty concerts coming up. The other day I pulled out the concert CD of hers- Nashville- it was so sweet- love every song- have not been listening much lately- mostly chatting on my cell when I drive these days. I did bring about 20 Cds that I want to get more familiar with for this week - I can listen to music instead of watching the horrendous bad news on TV at the condo I am staying at, altho I hope to catch Desperate Housewives on Sun eve if they have it here. I have seen only 1 episode but it was cracking me up- I loved it. Sort of a chick flick type tv show I guess. sorry guys. I am thinking of going out east again in May before I go to Strawberry Music Festival Mem Day weekend. I might have 3 weeks off in a row. Maybe Patty will be making the rounds out there during those middle weeks of May. :) I hope to go to about 5 Music festivals this summer- Grass Valley, High Sierra maybe, Kate Wolf and Strawberry Spring and Fall. They are mostly Bluegrass, but I can always hope that Patty will be there- Kate Wolf Festival would be a good one for her- more SingerSongwriters than exactly Bluegrass. I brought my guitar, some videos and some books and my boyf! riend wi ll be out Sun so I'll have plenty to do this week- but maybe I will also deal with this e-mail thing and renew some aquaintances here while I have no work, dishes, laundry or grown up kids to attend to. There is internet access here in the main lounge. It is gorgous outside and I have to go explore- find an adventure or two. I'll put Patty on in the car. :) :) :)Cheers, Dana in Angels Camp ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2005 23:45:14 -0500 From: DLWildflower@aol.com Subject: Re: MM: little Patty content-resurfacing Hi KIm- thanks for writing- I feel like I have lost contact with so many MM friends. Angel's Camp is a small hole in the wall town that was a gold mining town. Today it has little shops and antique stores, etc. on the one main street. Seems like tourism is a major industry. The foothills surround us and it is not quite in the mountains but is near the north border of Yosemite National Park. I have a Timeshare- Worldmark- that has a place here so I am visiting for the first time. Actually I loved it today. Even if I end up not skiing, it will be fun to drive around and look at this area of California. Most of the trees are bare, but the grass is green. I still have to check out the hot tub- the air is chilly tonite, but I can run in and out I guess. I met a lady of 74 who has lived in this town all but 3 years of her life. I had a nice conversation with her about how I feel like I have no home as my home town is 3000 mi away and no one here has known me all my life like it is for her. I am very happy to be living in CA and to be experiencing new things, but I do miss that hometown feeling. The Bay area is so crowded- all I do is drive drive drive on freeways back and forth to work. I was born in my hometown hospital and graduated from the same high school that my parents went to. Here it seems like everyone is from somewhere else. Many people are from other countries and have another language as their first language. Some days at work I don't have one patient who speaks English. I am just not home. Those days are over, but for her, here in this little place, she knows everyone. It sort of seems like real America to me, at least the old days real America, maybe not now in this crazy running around life we have these days. Tomorrow I am going to explore Sonora which I drove through last night in the dark. It looked bigger but similar. Today I spent about 2 hrs poring through and antique shop just like it was a museum. I bought a big wooden bowl that reminded me of a bowl my grandmother kept on her harvest! table f or all of my childhood. I think it is made out of a burl and is dark and used looking like it has a history. 9 yrs ago my sister-in-law snapped it up when my Mom's house was being broken up- and I had always loved and wanted it. I said, oh well, I'll find another one, and today I did. Well, someone else wants the one computer here in the lobby, so I will sign off. Hope all is well with you Kim- Dana ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V9 #25 ********************************
