The work of a Salem group of women artists has been up at the Compass Gallery this month…me, Katy Viegland, Kathy Shen, Nancy Eng, Tory Brokenshire and Dayna Collins. We get together monthly, often to make work, sometimes for a brief road trip. A couple of times every year we “retreat” for four or so […]

The Week Between…
Wasn’t that nice?? I just loved the whole week nothing at all to do…well, stuff to do for sure, but without the need to FOCUS…as I’m always reminding myself to do. When we got to the beach I noted some of the poems that arrive occasionally on the fridge… so we took it to heart…two […]
Quick Beach Visit
We had a new fence built this week, between our house and the house-of-constant-renters…maybe you remember how it looked the summer before last..here…so we zoomed over to take a look…it’s good! It poured and blew and sheeted down on Saturday… but today dawned sunny and clear and perfect for getting out the sweet old bikes…wedding […]
Taking the Short Cut
We had to leave the beach today… but when we got to the highway it was (as Doug would say) “a parking lot.” As we inched north we decided to take the “secret” shortcut…(I trust you not to tell anyone), (YAY…it was raining!) and head up Schooner Creek… When we got the beach house years […]
Editing Cutler City
In our two plus weeks at the beach I rode my bike around our neighborhood, Cutler City, several times a day. Sometimes I had my camera and took pictures of my favorite small cottages, the “old” Cutler City….little cottages for fishermen built on the sand. Many many of these are gone and some (like ours) […]
Off We Go Into 2015
Since 1992 we’ve spent the first week of most years at the beach, where often it is sunny and bright. We slow down after the holiday rush, sleep in, walk the beach and plan the year ahead. This year the first day of the new year looked like this…
The Block a Month Club
Kate and I agreed to do the Moda block-a-month challenge mostly as a way to see each other at least once a month and have a coffee! We picked up our first block pattern and fabric Friday and then sat in the sun a drank coffee…and then R and I came away to the beach […]
Cutler City…the Summer ends….
Okay, maybe you’ve had enough of Cutler City…but if not, here’s a little more….the Bay House Restaurant is the structure at the far right…Cutler City Cafe in those days… Here’s the original Crab Pot under construction… and we used to have a dock back in the day…(Tyko once told me it was to load timber…but […]
Cutler City, Oregon
Let’s back track a little. Cutler City, site of our aforementioned beach house, is at the far south end of the “Ten Miracles Miles” known as “Lincoln City” (a made-up name used to designate the small towns of Ocean Lake, Delake, Nelscott, Taft and Cutler City, which became as one in March of 1965). Historically […]
The Crab Pot
The Crab Pot was an institution in Lincoln City…most especially in Cutler City. The original business dates way back to the 1920’s… For 39 years it has been owned and operated by Allen Black, who lived above the storefront. R and I have been buying fish there since 1992 and have had many a good […]
