It was a museum weekend for our house…I’m sure you’ve seen the new banner installed on the west side of the Hallie Ford Museum of Art… and Saturday our family came down to see the show…Bruce and LeeAnn from Seattle, Doug, Marie, Emma and Finley from Portland, and Z & A. …and then home for […]

BE MINE!
Hey readers…here’s a recent perfect Valentine’s coffee…wish I was sitting across from you sipping the beautiful brew…(I raise my cup)… …but instead I’m doing stuff like this: using Borax and a “color remover thingie” (Mary’s technical term) to get out the red bleed on the recovery quilt, registering my lost baby quilt (thanks to Bill […]
Householding at the Beach…
We’re tidying up for New Year’s Eve, and to do my part (not even close…) I took on the dusting of the rooms I can get into in the wheelchair. Wheelchair dusting, it turns out is kind of fun…a different vantage point and a way to appreciate things anew. I started in the bedroom dusting […]

Happy Birthday Zach!
A busy week ahead about which more later, but it starts with one of my MOST favorite holidays of all…Zachary Hull’s birthday…and he was born on an overcast Sunday back in the 70’s…this year a backyard feast is in store on the actual day…and on he goes into another year. xo
