R is high-functioning, as you know. Heat doesn’t seem to stop him. He doesn’t sit around complaining like some of us (ahem)…he just keeps on going. Here he is dancing with his cousin Lisa at Zach’s wedding (102 AT LEAST!) (The two of them used to write novels together when they were growing up in […]

The Wedding
I did the kindest thing yesterday by posting one single picture of the bride and groom… and you may let it go at that…BUT…if you want to know what went on, and see some of the work, fun and love that went into the moment…read on… On Friday the flowers were duly cut and transported […]

The Wedding Countdown…one more day…
The hunter/gatherers (that would be R & me) went to Minto yesterday and “harvested” some Queen Anne’s Lace to fill out the wedding flowers. This morning we go get the dahlias and off we go, appreciative of all your good wishes…
Wedding Countdown…3 more days…
As the wedding nears I’m abandoning all thoughts of keeping my usual blog on an even keel, and moving straight to “Zach and Ashton: The Teenage Years.” Well, they were both beautiful teenagers…ladies first: here’s Ashton at 15… and here at 17 with her Mom Cheryl… Zach at about 15… and at 17…with David B….

Bloomsday
Yesterday was “Bloomsday” when all over the world (but most especially in Dublin) devotees of James Joyce celebrate the master. Salem probably was never one of the hot beds of celebration historically, but when combined with the opening of Rex Amos’ show of collage, chine colle and ephemera at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, […]
Mothers’ Day Weekend….
I had a great one and am wishing all my motherly readers did too. Mine began with breakfast on the deck while I contemplated the Tennessee Goodwill shirts…hmmm….hard to image the quilt this will become… flowers were brought from the Dad in question… and when I went to get the mail I noticed a photo […]
Happy Birthday to Ashton!!
We started at Leipzig Tavern/Gino’s where it was hard to decide what to have for dinner…(Amy helps Ashton out…) but after the feast, the REAL party began… In our many years in Oregon we had never been to Oaks Park, and if you are in the same boat, you’d better get over there…it’s pretty cool. […]
Happy Birthday Nadia!
Today was Nadia‘s birthday, and she was visiting all the way from Tunisia…(check her cool jacket, which she made…) She didn’t come all this way to visit me though…she grew up in Salem and is in Oregon visiting her family. Luckily she hitched a ride to Salem with her sister-in-law today and we shared work […]
