One of those gorgeous sunny days which included chores positioning Karen’s chair to hold up the fuschias a bike ride around Cutler City with a stop at the end of Fleet for a bay view discovery of a job I wouldn’t want to have (and I’m not kidding…the sticker really was on one little tomato…) […]
Category: Cutler City
BRRRRR…
Which seems like a silly thing to say in mid-August. Escaping the heat in the valley was successful, but now we’re wearing three sweaters and shivering. Our bike ride after dinner through the quiet streets revealed one basketball player, and a deer. The bay was beautiful this evening after a day of hard work back […]
The Rubber Duckie Caper
This spring we had break-in at the beach house. It was a pretty idiosyncratic burglar who stole strange things. One thing the fiend took though was ALL of our rubber duckies. It has been a well-known tragedy among our familiars. So Sunday morning when I looked out the kitchen window here’s what I saw: 12 […]
Cutler City Calm…
Beach weekend providing the usual serenity…me quilting (I’m on the Willamette Valley in the State of Oregon quilt) and the farmer’s market this morning was lovely in the mist I ALMOST felt like I was in France (…just kidding Shoenut…) Roger put on his Cutler City tee shirt to rake, and the flower boxes at […]
July 4th, An American Day
And ours began at the beach with a bike ride Lily Whipple rode her UNICYCLE in the Gleneden Beach parade and won 1st place!! and after a lovely sunny day and a typical American meal (ribs—yum Mark) corn, pasta salad…down at Jim & Carol’s, (and Carol’s 4th of July cake) we ventured out to the […]
Beach Update…
What a weekend. Today it’s POURING rain so the weekend seems like a dream, but it was sunny, warm, beautiful and filled with fun. We arrived Friday at sunset, just in time to see the UFO’s streaking by: and Saturday was all sun all day so we took a beach walk and checked progress on […]
Beach run…
Over Saturday, back today…just to check on a few things like… Record high tide: The progress of Sharon’s new “studio”… Hans’ ability to make a great latte… Reward? A purple sunset: (when I took the photo I worried that it wouldn’t come out purple enough…)
The Tides Rule…
At the beach the tides rule. A series of wind and rain storms kept us inside over the New Year’s weekend, but each day I ventured down to Josephine Young park (a few yards out our back door) to check the Bay. On New Year’s day there was a plus 8’1″ high tide. Combined with […]
New Year’s “On the Edge”…
Our tradition for a bunch of years has been to start on the edge of the continent, seeking light and total relaxation. We were a small band this year, but merry: 2009 has held amazing things, sad things, funny things, creative things. Like all the years I guess. Here’s to one more of the same. […]
Birthday Boy
Today Roger turned 40 again and the whole weekend was devoted to small celebrations . It was sunny and beautiful at the beach so the weekend was organized around whatever the birthday person wanted to do. Beach walk of course: and the beach full of spindrift: it was warm and sunny and calm–he didn’t even […]
