By happenstance Roger Hull was born in Lebanon, Tennessee, on November 30,1943…where his Dad was stationed before going to the European theater during World War II. In 1968 Barbra and I staged a birthday party for him…my first Roger Hull celebration with 54 more to come. He was very annoyed to not make it to […]
It’s been soooo long since I’ve written I’m not sure I remember how to post. Our lives are as convoluted as ever but in different ways these days. As we dash into summer with a spate of perfect weather our next door neighbors (our grandkids) are keeping things wet and wild. Last weekend the parents […]
I first published this on my birthday in 2009, but I still think it tells my story…and now it comforts and delights me to see it and remember, especially this year as I reach a rather spectacular age: Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places […]
coloring was very popular… Dinosaurs were very popular Cheryl had the best mask Books, always a favorite, Legos an old painting of mine in a new home… Joe the cat remained untroubled throughout and then we said goodbye to this little village and headed home… I cleared my art supplies and gift wrap off the […]
Nancy sent me this lovely hand-made birthday card that is an image for our times (thank you Nancy!)… But to back track…we went to the beach Saturday for my birthday, and to clean out the pantry and retrieve some toilet paper (who is it that HAS all the toilet paper I wonder?). In spite of […]
I first published this on my birthday in 2009, but I still think it tells my story so let’s go again!! Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. But today I’m looking back. (I tried to cut my own bangs–oops.) For a few […]
It absolutely is true…50 years ago on September 20, 1969, Roger Hull and Bonnie Decker got married in Wilmette, Illinois… and I can’t find the wedding pictures anywhere…so I started looking at other photos of us through the years. We’ve always had fun. We have had somber and sad moments like all lives have, but […]
Again this year a Portland friend sent out this fun dinner challenge invitation… “You have been randomly selected to participate in my summer dinner challenge. I will cook for 5 nights in a row…Tuesday August 27-Saturday August 31 for any number of people as long as they RSVP . My Rules: 1. I will not go to […]
Father’s day weekend…here was the first Father’s day/Grandfather’s day five years ago… Roger’s father (with C & C & R) Roger’s Grandfather holding Roger’s father… and this year Sidney and Vivien are in Christiansted, USVI…celebrating with their father!
In this weird moment, this non-celebratory 2020 moment, I think I’ll post this again for the 11th time, because this year, more than ever, I like remembering this little girl. “Memory as Myth”…the title of my exhibit at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this summer, if such a thing is possible…is part of this […]
