...the end of a grand year....and the end of our "Grand Adventure" in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mammoth Lakes, CA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday was TheChief's last day as Chief of Mammoth Lakes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a week we celebrate his time as Chief with members of his department,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the town, friends, and family...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and then, we will make our final move south.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It truly has been a "Grand Adventure"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Town of Mammoth Lakes is indeed, a very special place....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and will always have a very special place in our hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you Mammoth Lakes and will miss you greatly!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Oh...and by the way...TheChief will still be TheChief,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will still be TheChieftess...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some things don't have to change!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all have a beautiful and Happy New Year!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
PS...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TheChief was especially good to me this year on my birthday...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he heard my complaints about how heavy my big Nikon was while traveling...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and couldn't miss my hints of what I wanted...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so today's photo is the first posting of a pic taken with my new</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fuji XT1, with 18-135mm interchangeable lens!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's mirrorless, and feels feather weight compared to my giant Nikon!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't quite figured it out yet...but I'm working on it!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a couple more pics...</div>

The other day...when I was leaving KMart in Bishop...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was entranced by the cloud formations...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(actually...I had to take a pic of the face...can you see it???)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's been a fire burning on the other side of our mountain range</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since I've been back up in Mammoth...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so the haze is from the smoke...<br />
(it's also been cloudy which kept the smoke at bay...and today...clear as a Sierra bell!!!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just another sunset in the Eastern Sierras...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You might remember our yearly event...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buesapalooza!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A fabulous blues and brews festival that Mammoth Brewing Company </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hosts on the first weekend of August.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, TheChief had to work the festival on Saturday, and while I probably would have</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
enjoyed the day, I opted to stay home...I'm not much for brew tasting...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(wine tasting is a totally different matter entirely...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we did get tickets for the best day of the festival...Hangover Sunday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The biggest name of the festival is usually the last to perform on the Sunday of the event...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this year it was Buddy Guy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
BEST CONCERT EVAH!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you might think that a gentleman of 78 is not going to be on top of his game for a concert...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well let me tell you...he had us movin' and groovin' throughout his entire set...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he was funny...he was hip...(he was profanely funny ;) ) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was AWE-SOME!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now...back to my opening...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Quinn Sullivan was about 7 years old, he met Buddy Guy and told him he played the guitar...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buddy Guy humored him and encouraged him, but wasn't expecting to be bowled over...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well...Quinn started playing for him and Buddy was hooked!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently Buddy Guy has a history of mentoring young blues musician aspirants...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well...let me tell you...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quinn Sullivan has taken his mentoring to heart!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out his playing ability at 8, <a href="http://youtu.be/ix4TNJvVk8M">click here! </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(It's a long clip, but if you like great Blues guitar...it's well worth it!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...on Sunday, he was Buddy Guy's opening act...played for about an hour...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and absolutely wowed the crowd!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Standing ovations for this kid!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh...and did I mention he's only 15???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A more recent clip<a href="http://youtu.be/2TPhC11I6xk"> here... </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again...if you love blues guitar....amazing!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of Buddy's set, he brought out Quinn and Ana Popovic (another of his proteges)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they all played Jimi Hendrix...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah, baby!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The place was rockin'!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ana Popovic has already made a name for herself...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But...I'm telling you now...Quinn Sullivan is a Blues Great in the making!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now for an update on the lives of TheChief and Chieftess..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our house sold...one week to the day after we listed it, we were signing escrow papers!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm in the process of refinishing floors, painting, etc down in the southland...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and TheChief has set up house in Crowley Lake, just south of Mammoth until </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he retires at the end of the year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lot's of back and forth for the next six months...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kelly is a bit confused but adjusting...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the kitties love being able to go outside again...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life is good, albeit a bit hectic these days!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Sorry for the poor quality pics...I didn't take my camera this year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I borrowed TheChief's iPhone which apparently</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
doesn't take the best pics!!!) </div>

Life is changing for TheChief and Chieftess!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TheChief is in the process of retiring...and my poor ol' bod</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hasn't been fairing very well with the altitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well...to make a long story short...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought the kitties and Kelly down to Glendale in mid June</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and have been shuttling back and forth from Mammoth to Glendale</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
packing this and that, and getting the Glendale house back in shape...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TheChief is retiring at the end of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We put the house up for sale in June and a week to the day later,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were signing papers accepting an offer...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who knew it would only take a week to sell???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, that we'd have just six weeks to get re-situated???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soooo...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mammoth Lakes Daily Photo will be going through some changes too...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm taking time off to get the house back in shape...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and figure out what my next step will be in the blogosphere!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll pop in to visit now and then over the next few months...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and possibly post every now and then as I'll be up and back regularly until TheChief is done...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so stay tuned...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'll keep you posted!!!</div>

<br />
<br />
No...we're not in Europe!!! <br />
Napa, California....WINE COUNTRY!!!<br />
<br />
Castello di Amorosa to be exact...<br />
an authentic medieval Italian Tuscan castle...and winery...right here in California!!!<br />
<br />
Built by Daryl Sattui, 4th generation Italian winemaker.<br />
It took over 13 years to build and was fashioned after the many castles and<br />
wineries he visited in Europe.<br />
<br />
But don't go planning a wedding here...it's not open for weddings...at least...not yet.<br />
But it's a pretty cool spot to visit and imagine yourself in Tuscany!!!<br />
