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. 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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Today is a quiet day with no shopping or wrapping or cooking…a day to think about how nice it was to be with our family for Christmas and sit by the fire, share a meal. Christmas Eve was the start of the fiesta… Gifts were not the central event for most of us (except […]
Years ago I made a little painting (now in the collection of the Salem Public Library) called “Everything, Everything”…all the thoughts, all the feelings, all the activity of a life.
