Thanks readers, for all the good birthday wishes. It was a busy week last week including a few meetings (possibly you can tell where I was sitting?)… and here’s my ukulele teacher Ron with HIS birthday present (the day before)…an electronic bass ukulele! Rock on…(and he will) Sharon and I went to ukulele “graduation” (well..it’s […]

Birthday weekend…
Friday was sunny and bright so we went to one of my FAVORITE spots before heading to the beach for Cheryl’s birthday weekend, wherein Ashton sang and Cheryl made a wish… and the rest of us just laughed all weekend (have you ever played “Apples to Apples”??), heading home Sunday with snow threatened in the […]
And so the New Year BEGINS!
We’re back. What a terrific holiday we had, and what a lovely beginning to 2012 from the beach. I finished a few 2011 projects like the ugly fabric challenge quilt # 2 and the utopia quilt we hung up the Christmas present lantern from “Santa” took in the bright moonlight (sorry…cellphone photo) reflected in the […]
Happy New Year!
Gathering steam for the year ahead…I’m making my “map” of what I’ll do…but mostly beach walking, movies, sleeping in, reading, sewing. Ahhhh. Yesterday at Nelscott Beach it was 57 and sunny…a guy fishing in the surf…
ROBERT’S BOOKS…and more…

This is ABSOLUTELY the last fix-up project for the year…and the LAST time we ever paint a kitchen…we sincerely hope…. Phil was out at the beach and had two extra days…we had left-over subway tile…the rest is history. We’ve had the beach house for 20 years, the wall paper was old and stained then…the cupboards […]
LABOR DAY
The first Labor Day was celebrated in 1882 and was all about the labor movement and the rise of the unions…a movement that changed everything economically in this country. For some of us of a certain age group, Labor Day was when you had to stop wearing white shoes and white skirts (skirts???). Carol says […]
The Fairy Lights…
The fairy lights needed some work…burned out lights, dusty…so I got some new lights, put all the “shades” on them, put them back in place and turned them on…MAGIC…
Just a Puttering Day…
The end of real summer…Labor Day coming up…and today was the day we’ll dream of come icey January… But it started cloudy and R was thinking “hmmm…maybe I’ll paint the garage door”… so he did…one more coat tomorrow meanwhile I was in the studio with my trusty featherweight (it was my Mom’s)… finishing a baby […]
Inadvertent Museums???
Guess galleries, and even museums, are where you find them?
