I was reading an article in the Thursday NYTimes by Roberta Smith this morning about “inadvertent galleries” around Manhattan…empty showcase windows, a parking area under the High Line, etc. So feeling the need for a little drama, I hit on the idea of giving you a sort of Aaron Siskind-esque tour of some of the […]

The Perfect Summer Day…Almost
Summer was a long time coming this year, but it’s in full swing at the beach…perfect day after perfect day… We haven’t been here too much this summer for a few reasons, and when we’re here we’re usually on one of the patios so imagine my surprise when I actually stepped into the back yard […]
In Memory of Bob Hawkinson
Bob died in May, very suddenly. We were in Italy and missed his memorial service but as we winged our way across the Atlantic he was in our thoughts: Last weekend a few of us gathered at Sharon’s near the Bay to scatter his ashes in a place he loved. We had a little lunch […]

Road Trip…Port Townsend
I took a little jaunt to Port Townsend this week for a good visit with old friends. Of course the first place we went when we left town was…yes..the carwash… and then a quick stop at TJ’s to get some pancetta and snap a spring photo before heading north. We stopped briefly to collect Vickie […]
Weekend…
And here was a weekend I REALLY needed to have a change of venue. First we needed to celebrate Susan’s birthday… and then I had to add my Cece duck to the pile…”top duck,” you might say, and then the wonderful calming moment of doing the dishes. There’s no dishwasher humming away in our beach […]
Beach Sojourn…
Our few days at the beach started with Jim’s birthday and the next morning we headed north toward Cannon Beach: stopping for lunch at Wanda’s …where we were shown to the fireside table and as we settled in, we took notice of exactly where we were. Wall decorations included a reminder of RPH as a […]
