It was just two years ago when, on the same day, these two brothers departed this world. Roger was the oldest child (of six), Chris three years younger. Roger had, in a way most of us do not, almost total recall of his early childhood in Salamanca, New York. He told me late in his […]

Notes to Myself
Yesterday I found this box in the studio…while searching for something else. I’d forgotten about this series of collages I made sometime in the last decade…using old photos and other bits and bobs. I called them “Notes to Myself” and I still understand what I was telling me and they delighted me, as old work […]
Technology, of a Minor Sort
If you have an Apple product I sincerely hope you never encounter the rolling ball of death, like I have, on occasion. My computer was old by some standards (12 years) and had had two hard drive replacements. I really stopped writing this blog because I was doing it on my phone which, though possible, […]
SUMMER!
It’s been soooo long since I’ve written I’m not sure I remember how to post. Our lives are as convoluted as ever but in different ways these days. As we dash into summer with a spate of perfect weather our next door neighbors (our grandkids) are keeping things wet and wild. Last weekend the parents […]
MY LIFE SO FAR
I first published this on my birthday in 2009, but I still think it tells my story…and now it comforts and delights me to see it and remember, especially this year as I reach a rather spectacular age: Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places […]
Well, There Went the Summer
Greetings friends. I was somewhat dumbstruck this morning when I realized August was history. September hours begin tomorrow at the food cart, school starts next weeks for the grands, I bought a boiled wool sweater. Oh yes I did. I saw it coming. This summer was hot but it was the summer we finally got […]
Puzzling
The year began “on the edge” at the beach, with a beautiful clear and bright day…sun pouring into the beach house, shining off the bay…it felt like California… But that was only New Year’s Day, and quickly it became the usual Oregon winter… So we stayed cozy in front of the fire… and I got […]
On the Way?
So we were having lunch the other day at Taproot when R nudged me and pointed…”On the Way”…oh good lord, I haven’t blogged in MONTHS! I doubt anybody is out there. ..well you’re there, but maybe not HERE? It isn’t so much that I have nothing to say…but that the things I’m thinking about are […]
A Pandemic Christmas
coloring was very popular… Dinosaurs were very popular Cheryl had the best mask Books, always a favorite, Legos an old painting of mine in a new home… Joe the cat remained untroubled throughout and then we said goodbye to this little village and headed home… I cleared my art supplies and gift wrap off the […]
But Wait…One More Fall Day…
We sneaked in one more fall day before the rain starts tomorrow, and it was a good one…lunch with the kids and their parents was exactly what the doctor recommended (and we saw the doctor JUST before lunch!) Goodbye sun. Keep in touch.
