Greetings friends. I was somewhat dumbstruck this morning when I realized August was history. September hours begin tomorrow at the food cart, school starts next weeks for the grands, I bought a boiled wool sweater. Oh yes I did. I saw it coming. This summer was hot but it was the summer we finally got […]

Car Wash Interval
As you might remember, I have an innate love of the car wash as a mood elevator and visual treat. Happy weekend. Keep in touch.
Summer 2019
Whaat? It’s August 1st? Hi…it’s been a while. My exhibit is over and I’ve navigated the often-post-show let-down…and in checking my photo file I see a lot has happened but I’m speechless on this subject so I’ll just roll out some images thereby proving summer is summer, mine not too different from yours…beach, garden, family…occasional […]
Summer Reset
August already??? What about all the summer stuff I was going to do and all the posts I was going to write… In deciding I write about Portland artists too much, we went (in July) to see DE May’s show at PDX Gallery and across the street to see Natalie Laswell’s piece at Blackfish Gallery…both […]

One of my favorite Christmas posts was the Christmas carwash…the car wash being a place that always makes me happy (i know, I know, but…) so the other day after […]
The 4th of July
Well, America. All that it means to us…the history, the narrative, the many wonderful people just trying to live a life. Maybe the fourth of July is when I can put aside the politics and the incessant bad news of NPR and just revel in what I think summer in America is…for me anyway… Pie […]
Car Wash Interlude
No kidding, the car wash is always a mood elevator and ESPECIALLY since they changed to yellow scrubby stuff and blue soap…
Carwash Interval
Our car wash has been closed for a whole month. Our new car was sooooo dirty and today, voila, the car wash was open. They were closed, it turned out, because they were installing a whole new “system” and it had JUST reopened…OMG…yellow and black instead of blue and black, BLUE soap…it was great. Before […]
