Well the weekend began Friday morning with a quick trip through the…you know… then off to the beach. The weather was all over the place this weekend, providing us with many views, all beautiful, of Siletz Bay… and a variation on the usual sights…. We got out “Diploma” and “Diana”…our now almost 44 year old […]

Friday Report…
Wow…busy week around here…but kind of a miscellaneous week to make a narrative out of… It WAS a week with ART in it though…Elizabeth, Alex and I spent two days in Corrie’s summer studio (a generous offer on Corrie’s part)…she the first artist in residence whereby the CCC gallery is turned into a big studio […]
Catching Up…
Summer. Got to try to live in the moment, so the narrative suffers. Here’s a digested version of what’s been happening in the far west: The beach. A week. So hot in the valley most all the beach views are misty and cool… and the sunsets were, well, muted, let’s just say… There was outside […]
“High” Summer
The fourth of July is really the beginning of the mid summer celebration of flowers and good warm weather and just being outside all the time. Our habit is to be at the beach on the fourth and the last few years Z & A and friends Amy and Ian have joined us…for reading, good […]
Room With a View
Saturday we headed north up the coast… to visit April and Nathan in their newish beach house (they got it last July). It has an amazing amazing view and April has set up her easel in the living room and is painting there as many days as she can be away from Salem… Not only […]
FOR SALE
Okay…our little enclave at the beach is just so…well…adorable. Especially our street, Ebb Street… which includes our house, Mary Lou and Alan’s, Terry and LuAnn’s, Wee Packum Inn, Jim & Carol’s and nearby David and Susan, and Sharon… we’re just around the corner from Josephine Young Park which is right on the Bay… In the […]
Totally Unnecessary….
and bordering on the criminal. Soapbox time…it’s hard to imagine the subdivision that will look good here…here in Road’s End, Oregon… Even the meanest dwelling (sorry neighbor) looks better when softened with a mature tree nearby…. I was about to write “enough said,” but actually, there could never be enough said about the hideous practice […]
…And So it Begins…
We’re only five days in, but so far I’d say 2013 is behaving like every other year I can remember…routine, sublime, annoying, lovely, impatient, content, creative and MILDLY destructive (it’s the wheelchair, not me…scraping the woodwork, tsk…). So the sun set on our beach idyll… and we came back to the gloomy fog of the […]
Rolling into 2013…
The first day of the new year began as many days do…with a few chores… and though I couldn’t help much I DID notice how pretty the clean glasses looked in the kitchen… so we decided since the sun was shining we’d “roll” through Cutler City this morning to see what was afoot in the […]
Householding at the Beach…
We’re tidying up for New Year’s Eve, and to do my part (not even close…) I took on the dusting of the rooms I can get into in the wheelchair. Wheelchair dusting, it turns out is kind of fun…a different vantage point and a way to appreciate things anew. I started in the bedroom dusting […]
