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. Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. But today I’m looking back. (I tried to […]
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 […]
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 […]

Yesterday a small gathering was had when George and Aaron and Jackie met us at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art to see the Clifford Gleason exhibition (Clifford Gleason: The […]

She was lively, lovely, a font of fun in my childhood, the embodiment of glamor, the giver of fantastic gifts. 18 months younger than my Mom and separated by many miles in the last quarter of […]
And we’re all bound together by this motherhood thread…and on a day like today, when so very many of us are not with our mothers or our children or our grandchildren, images are about all we have….so here are some of mine. My mother and I started young… and luckily I got to go the […]
