Bob died in May, very suddenly. We were in Italy and missed his memorial service but as we winged our way across the Atlantic he was in our thoughts: Last weekend a few of us gathered at Sharon’s near the Bay to scatter his ashes in a place he loved. We had a little lunch […]

4th of July Fish…etc.
A great beach weekend and here’s a good recipe for grilling a whole Chinook salmon Take the whole fish…rub with olive oil and then make slits in the fish into which you put thin slices of butter. Get the corn ready Heat the grill… set the table Cook the fish 11 minuntes on a side…it […]
The Leggy Rhodie…
We had a leggy rhodie growing under a tree and then the tree fell down and we left the rhodie…thinking it was on it’s last “legs” but this spring…leggy as it is, it’s blooming like crazy and from inside it’s equally pretty… even when the blinds are down…
Weekend…
And here was a weekend I REALLY needed to have a change of venue. First we needed to celebrate Susan’s birthday… and then I had to add my Cece duck to the pile…”top duck,” you might say, and then the wonderful calming moment of doing the dishes. There’s no dishwasher humming away in our beach […]
Shelter…
Sharon sent these photos a few weeks ago from “our” beach of a nice new addition to the beach landscape We went straight to the beach this morning but, alas, the ocean and beachcombers have had their way with it, underscoring the transient nature of shelter, perhaps?
Dazzling Day #2…
These bright and sunny January days are a gift…we read the paper at coffee time and the rain starts again on Thursday, BUT, for today, we were in the sunshine. Here’s our beautiful Cutler City, the row of dark trees on the other side of Siletz Bay: we walked the beach at Nelscott…well…R walked the […]
New Year, New Decade….
Starting both “on the edge”…a twenty year tradition. After the New Year’s Eve revelry at the beach…(we stayed up til 3:00 a.m.!) we had a quiet day today, with a view of the bay: a coffee with Hans’ SUPERIOR foam: a view of the bay from a different vantage point: a stop at the fish […]
Small Building Mania…
I’ve always liked small buildings (..”let’s play forts!…”) but since the studio went in I’ve taken to noticing them everywhere. This one’s being built in Cutler City and is cute…board and batten, etc…
Sweet Miscellany…
At the beach we sort of wander through a day and what happens, well…happens. Today we saw this adorable small building looking like a combo of the old west and Amsterdam (tho destined to be a coffee drive-through I fear), some deers wandering through a neighborhood of homes where nobody lives trimming the wisteria a […]
Goodbye to August…
And we aren’t really ready to say goodbye…are we? Our last August beach weekend was spent with Doug & Marie, Em and Fin and Fin’s friend Kellen. For me it began in a predictable way with a trip to you-know-where: and we arrived on a gorgeous sunny afternoon: Saturday there were various things going on, […]
