  • Just the two of us, and Michigan…

    When our friends Sarah and James announced that they were getting married this summer in Michigan, I immediately said we’d be there. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan was a very important part of Arann’s (pre-Paige) life and yet in the eight years we have been together I still had never been there… so we decided…

  • You tell me… (contest below)

    I often get asked, “What is the difference between film and digital.” So I have a series of descriptive words that I use to try and convey why I love film so much. But it is hard… so I need help. I’d love for you tell me what you think the difference is. So… this…

  • If life gives you snow…

    And you really want to go sledding… but there are no hills… And pushing just won’t work… But you do happen to have two huge dogs… Sit on the sled and just say, “Mush!” When that doesn’t work, have someone the dogs love run really fast in front of them… And hold on tight. But…

  • Artists & Farmers… October 3rd… Come!

    When you visit a new town, what is the best way to get to know that new town and community? We think the best way to get to know a community is through the food and the art. So we want to celebrate the Artists and Farmers who make our community unique by sharing their…

  • Sometimes you have to look back…

    …to see how far you’ve come…. …and to see just where you need to go. All of these photos were taken at least five years ago… if not more. I am sharing them now because the other day I had to dig through an old hard drive for something, and because I dig through old…

  • Come Get Your Dance On and Win Big…

    The Green String Farm Band is going all out, in their very best Christmas sweaters, at Murphy’s Irish Pub in Sonoma, tonight, December 20th, at 6 pm. It promises to be a really good time and very family friendly. Raffle prizes will be given away all night… which means you will have a chance to…

  • Still Need More Artists and Farmers…

    …of Petaluma, for ProjectHERE. I plan on really getting going on the project in January, so please send Petaluman Artists and Farmers my way.

  • Talking About God on a Hike …
