This weekend the House of Rock truly rocked. We had a bunch of visitors including Jesse’s bass-tastic cousin Tyler, his girlfriend Karen, Kurt and Shauna, and both H.C. Alicia and my sister Alicia. We went climbing on Friday and Saturday and my sister did quite well. Her confidence was impressive and she has some funky flute playing muscles in her hands that I’m sure helped her hold on to the walls.

As one would expect, we made an extra large pot of beans for the guests.

Karen had to skip out on the beans because she was a vegetarian, and our beans contained bacon, ground beef, and pork fat. her loss.
