So Friday we headed out to the beach through the fog and rain… …luckily I’ve discovered I can sew while Roger drives…(this is not quite as bad as when I just nap, but it keeps me pretty quiet…) and Friday night we went to a sort-of-strange-but-ultimately-hilarious ukulele concert by an Italian guy who calls himself […]

Van Evera Bailey
We sloshed up to Portland Sunday with Linda and Greg to the Oregon Historical Society to hear a lecture by Hope Svenson who gave an excellent talk about the work of Portland architect Van Evera Bailey. Her thought-provoking talk included ideas about architecture as archive, a topic currently at the front of R’s thinking. Greg […]
The Beach House
It seems impossible to believe this, but 20 years ago we bought this little beach house on Siletz Bay. We’ve tinkered with it a little bit, but mostly it has been an oasis of calm in our busy lives, a family place. I’m entertaining myself this week with some before and after photos…here’s how our […]
Hanging the show….
Antidote to the heat: the Oregon coast, where we went from 96 to 64 in under an hour. PHEW! But today we zoomed back in to pick up my work from the framer’s and hang the show down at Project Space…and the curator did most of the work… The work is two series of mono-print […]
This One Goes Out to Dave…
Oh thank goodness Dave wanted to see more of Ian’s truck…(since I took a TON of photos…). It’s a 1941 Dodge pickup which had been customized a bit when he got it…though Ian has done a lot to it himself. After he got the truck, Ian realized he actually had a 1942 license plate hanging […]

Tuesday Miscellany…
My mind is deep into my Project Space project, but I AM alive and always photo’ing…beach weekend with rain predicted turned out to be beautiful for the kite festival… and for sitting by the Bay… AND for hosting Sharon’s surprise birthday party…(and she really was surprised!) …and did you check out the MIG pizza yet? […]
Variety or Confusion??
Since Thursday evening we’ve been on the road and have seen such a variety of stuff I hesitate to try and cram it into one little post…but here goes… Thursday evening we went up to see Stephan Soihl’s new show at Blackfish Gallery…a real tour de force of his mechanized sculptures…created this year in spite […]
Wisteria Duet…
R is over at the beach writing this week and sent me an informational picture of the wisteria by the back door… so I sent HIM a picture of the wisteria here at home…oh I love this warm weather…everything is POPPING!
The Promise of Summer…
Dorothy (as we call the lady in our GPS, thanks to Richard and Carol) took us STRAIGHT to the beach Friday… stopping only long enough for a glass of wine and a few “small plates” at the Inn at Spanish Head (where we were supervised closely)… and some veg. Saturday dawned warm and sunny and […]
