the turkey dust that is (turkey dust??). It was a perfect day with everyone attending in top form. Marie whipped up the potatoes: The table was crowded with hungry and thankful folks: Mothers and daughters: Day after cappuchino (with Bru, LeeAnn and Sam) A sunny Sunday at the beach: And Monday we sneak in a […]

GETTING READY
Last night I began to look for the napkins, thinking I’d need to get ironing and–LO and behold I opened the drawer to find a little gift from myself! I remember now that on a snowy day last winter I ironed all the napkins and put them away–like money in the bank. This morning I […]
Weekend in the City
Home this afternoon, dreary and dark, but “in a good way” as Roger would say. I’m making Em’s plain foccacia for Thanksgiving today, and another with grapes and raisins Wednesday. We had a good weekend, beginning with Emma’s band concert Thursday night and the depositing of Mom at Doug & Marie’s afterwards. Emma’s band was […]
The last little tree on the street
It just won’t give up all it’s leaves so on the now dreary, construction-filled street there’s this little blast of color.
Fay Jones
A letter from Dan today reminded me how much I like Fay Jones’ work–especially the work on paper. When the Fay Jones show was at the Hallie I did a little guerilla photgraphing, including these.

VICTORY!!!!!!
This morning I spoke to a guy named Doug, at HP. OF COURSE (“Doug”) I finally got the help I needed. He said he couldn’t walk me through it unless I paid $34.00, but he told me exactly what to do and I followed along and did it. He said the new Leopard update to […]
Mom Enjoying Catching Up with the Kids
Mom came for lunch today and to see the blogs and flickr. She can’t quite get to the blogs yet, though is intrigued with the notion of a blog. She really thinks all of her children are so smart. We enjoyed the new formatting of Bru’s photos and the video of Sam, the floor pix, […]
The scanner saga
It turns out the iMac software update to Leopard deletes the scanning ability of many units (I’m not alone in this). Two hours on the phone yesterday–TWO HOURS!!!__to finally get switched to a mac technician only to hear this “The mac support desk closes at 4:00 mountain time on Saturday…” You’d have thought “Kevin”–a totally […]
More from the Coffee Archive
Realizing, as from a caffeine-induced bolt from above, one afternoon recently that I’ve been documenting my coffees for years–decades even. Some classics: Caffe correcto from the Gilli Cafe in Piazza della Republica, Firenze, May, 1993. The idea of “corrected” coffee is that you add brandy or grappa, or anything you like. This particular coffee was […]
