There is nothing more numbing than a long narrative of what somebody else has been doing…sort of like an over-long Christmas letter…but images, well, always good for some of us. So, images only, this is what my week has held…

Black Friday….
Well, definitely gray Friday, anyway. Snow and chill predicted to be on the way… The other day a white pick-up pulled up in front of our house and two young persons jumped out, raked up all the leaves in front in the street, and drove away. ?????Composters? Neighborhood helpers? A new eau de vie? The […]
Birth Announcement!
Hooray! Sidney Roger Hull joined us on November 16th, 2013…born in Portland, Oregon. His life will not be chronicled here…(his parents would like him to become a media star in his own good time…) But…this is the point where his young life intersects with ours…delightfully. He’s a beautiful boy, now just a week old. […]
Happy Birthday Eunice!
Until July 28th, at 12X16 Gallery (8235 SE13th Ave. No.5, Portland) you can see Eunice Parsons’ new show “Sweet, Sweet Black.” And SWEET it is. All new work and absolutely beautiful.

“High” Summer

Guessing Time…
Here’s a few things I’ve been thinking about lately…want to take a guess???
Happy Birthday Harry!
We started Sunday at the beach… but quickly jumped in the car, and headed home to get ready for Harry’s 84th birthday party. LUCKILY I can sew in the car (…and no, I wasn’t driving…) I’m still working on the spring quilt…trying to finish before summer gets here! The sky was so beautiful today…. We […]
MY LIFE SO FAR
I published this on my birthday in 2009-13, took a year off last year, but I still think it tells the first part of my story, and I love the old photos of the little me… Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. […]
Happy Birthday Emma!
Our niece Emma turns 18 today…she is smart, talented (writer, runner, editor) and beautiful. I’m pretty sure she would murder me if I put a current picture of her on this blog, so here are a couple of “historic” Emma views…Happy Birthday Em from your Auntie and Uncle…over here at the beach…we love you!
