Going back at Aster for the Puschutto truffle pizza and a cocktail.

I had no breakfast, but plenty of coffee..Today is a renegade day..

I have a messy house waiting for me that I totally ignored, and I also had to push myself out of the house. Once I got out it became beautiful with a golden sun.
This is not all pleasure, it is work, to be UG on the scene ready to see what there is to see… Starting at the Aster Cafe.





In the short time spent enjoying the delisciousness of meal, and the strong yet refreshing cucumber cutie. I hear off in the distance Madonna 80’s version, before it was 80’s Janet. That’s prefect because my whole aesthetic glam rock, but not too the extreme 80,’s more towards the french chic, hip-hop type energy. Les Nubiannes Makeda type energy.
Here for it.
I am trying to sit on my drink it has tequila and well im not trying to be too right at the concert, which we will be leaving for in an hour or so.
Back to the resurgence of the 80’s looking around, I can see the neon, big expressive earrings, bucket hats, t shirts with trim.
Vintage tank tops, pink on men, short skirts, fitted dresses, the modern version of the high top fade.
Blond hair with dirty roots, base ball caps and polo shirts.
Fame aesthetic, dance culture
Balloon sleeves.






The Blend at Palmer’s Bar was next on the agenda after walking across the Stone Arch Bridge to get a glimpse of the festival which was no doubt huge, with so many people.
Crossing the Bridge in the almoat 90 degree heat was an Olympic feat, I may have had slight heat stroke because the test of the evening went right then left, to downhill.











I did get some footage of the night.
Surviving the tequila filled night, I rested and recouperated for a day. I was on a vacation which was an extended weekend, so I spent a day cleaning and organizing. That took hours of manual labor. Work piles up when weekends are busy just saying…

Then the next day was a total art at the M.I.A and thrift day, see below. The art set went to my neice Jaida.





The next day was back at work, and work was busy.
By Saturday, I made a spinach wrap, blackened salmon, spring sprigs, and mustard with breakfast potatoes, accompanied by a fruity wine. I brought it over to have brunch with my Mom. My brother then came over with Jaida, my sister Tiffany planted flowers in our Mom’s vases before I got there. It was a great Sabbath.
Sunday I did a plant haul, and brought a vintage jacket for fall, with a book Horadotus, and a very small porcelin vase.

I ate the rest of the meal I made for brunch, and settled in to start finishing my June Journal.
We are almost there, to the end of June.




The next week, it was back to the grind.

There was the Titan, and Migrants story. One group had a rescue team, the other one didn’t.
The Minneapolis representative voted out rent control and stabilazation during a most inflationary period, where even water is $3 locally. 3 of the members were gone for EID, and those members are the ones who introduced the bill. Shady politics.
More over JP Morgan paid billions to Epstein victims.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court declares Affirnative Action Unconstitutional. Business can deny services to theLGBTQ +
Community.
And the Student Loan forgiveness program was also shot down by the Supremw Court.
The smaug from Canada smells like chemicals and not burning wood, but we just know the air quality is horrendous.
Stay tuned for more. Thank you for joining me for this June Journal, until next time!
