We were gone last week and spent most of the week in Kenosha, Wisconsin…and more about that next time. The last day of the trip though, we headed into Chicago in order to see the new modern wing on the Art Institute, designed by Renzo Piano and built since our last trip…and a timely trip […]

Beach weekend, and on…
Well the weekend began Friday morning with a quick trip through the…you know… then off to the beach. The weather was all over the place this weekend, providing us with many views, all beautiful, of Siletz Bay… and a variation on the usual sights…. We got out “Diploma” and “Diana”…our now almost 44 year old […]
A Perfect Summer Day….
Somehow these last days of summer seem like little gems that have to be enjoyed from beginning to end…and this one was no exception…luncheon with friends on their terrace… with a nearby calming water feature… everything delicious…the house looking beautiful… but really it’s the view that is so wonderful… and the company…thanks friends.

His inspiration for this work was the foam sculpture made by John Chamberlain in the 1960’s, much larger in scale. With little critical […]

The Bathroom is DONE!
I suspect the subject of our bathroom is a bit boring to you readers by now, but just to complete the thought…here is the process (a very short, digested version I might add…). It fascinates me to watch a room be ripped apart (so naturally I think it fascinates YOU…?) and then come together so […]
VACATION!!!
We took a little drive last week with Z & A back to Wallace, Idaho, for a bit of the “HULL back story” . Z made the route which we did ALL on non-freeway roads and we made a big, interesting circle. Basically other people’s vacations are pretty boring, I know, but here are just […]
