So Friday we headed out to the beach through the fog and rain… …luckily I’ve discovered I can sew while Roger drives…(this is not quite as bad as when I just nap, but it keeps me pretty quiet…) and Friday night we went to a sort-of-strange-but-ultimately-hilarious ukulele concert by an Italian guy who calls himself […]

Brown and White Transferware
I started collecting “brown and white” (as Irene and I call it…) in 1980. I bought two plates to cheer myself up when we arrived home after a year in London. It worked…and now I’m REALLY cheerful… These dishes are English (Staffordshire), the ones I like best were made before 1900 (1840-1900) and they combine […]
FALL…
Okay…I’m totally getting into it… …playing with the house…
Autumn or Fall?

Well the waters have receded and now something new is happening down on the […]
Messages…
I bought a children’s book at Value Village the other day…it’s in Japanese (I think…nope…Willy Wonky and JE both say Korean) I don’t know Japanese (or Korean either)… I just liked the illustrations. It made me think of what it was like before I could read, as I began to turn the pages and look […]
Creek Fun…
I talked to Karen on the phone this morning, and I said I was uninspired blog-wise today. She said …”Go to the west side of the Church Street bridge over Pringle Creek, and look down. You’ll like it…” I did go, and I DID like it…you?
Leftovers…
…and I don’t mean pot roast. There are always great shots left over, images that didn’t exactly fit into the discourse of the week, but that hold my attention anyway…here are a few from the week just past with no explanations at all…
