Our 2014 Italian adventure is complete, and what a trip it was. Though I started posting from “the road,” it became clear there was only enough time and energy to “live in the moment.” There WAS enough time and energy to take a ton of photos though…phew. The first half of the trip was with […]

On the Move
I’m thinking I should change the name of the blog to “On the Move” after this week. We headed up the Gorge passing Multnomah Falls, and stopping at Boda’s Kitchen (thank you George) in Hood River for a quick and delicious lunch before crossing the bridge at The Dalles and heading east on beautiful highway […]
Trying to Fit it ALL in…
Phew…it was a race this week, but we managed. Martha and I blasted to Portland on an errand yesterday and got to PDX just as Ryan Wilson Paulsen was in the gallery and gave us some chat about his current show with his wife Anna Gray (up at PDX until November 30th). I’ve admired their […]
“Threading the Needle,” Rick Bartow, Dave (Nic) Nichols
I like it…looking at disparate stuff. In random order. The best. Elizabeth and I raced through the pouring rain to Portland yesterday for “research”…a fiber-oriented show at the Helzer Gallery at PCC Rock Creek Campus. Though the gallery was small…only enough room for one or two pieces from each artist, each piece had something to […]
A Basket Full of Stuff
My friend George writes a nice blog and the other day he wrote in an email that his recent post was a bit miscellaneous…sort of a “basket full of stuff.” THIS, I thought, exactly describes my current predicament…weirdly unrelated, all sort of interesting, some nice images…okay let’s go. The weather has been beautiful here, after […]
No News is Good News?
In blog land, the “blogoshpere”, you actually do a little better if you have something to write about…and I usually do have some slim thought. This week was a quiet, serene week…not particularly notable in any way. We ate and gardened, had meetings and songs, did some creative work, saw friends and just enjoyed the […]
Friday Follow Up
First and foremost, I made a mistake on the location of Rochelle and Nate Rafn’s new restaurant. It will open early in June at 479 Court (next door to Olson’s Florist)…(that used to be Quizno’s sandwich shop…) Thanks to my neighbor Jason Heimerdinger and David at the Statesman Journal, disaster was averted…because if you went […]
New Carwash
Oh this is weird…instead of you moving through the carwash, the carwash moves around you…and is RED!
Garden Love…
There’s a moment in the spring garden where everything looks neat and tidy, beautiful, organized…and this week is it. You know, just before it all gets wild and overgrown and crazy. Bill was here to help us tidy up and it just looks beautiful to me today ( “Of course my baby is the […]
A Room of Our Own…
A deal has been arranged, and we moved into “our” room at Z & A’s… Due to art research and occasional fun (…we only allow ourselves OCCASIONAL fun…) we were needing a landing spot in Portland…and now we have one. By “moved in” I really mean we brought some art and a lamp or two…they […]
