After a long park visit, a quick stop to see Otto at Duplex Gallery and check the new show…including this piece by Shiloh Castello… and this piece reminding me of my childhood…now don’t get me wrong readers, I had loving parents who made my brothers and me into creative people BUT…or should I say BUTT…they […]
Krewe du Cascadia went all out today with a Fat Tuesday lunch at Max Marbles with all the favorites…grits, hoppin’ john, creole mac and cheese, etouffe, red beans and rice with spicy sausage, cornbread, beignets (made by Tory)…. q beer of course… Music… King cake…and Tory got the baby…(which means she has to bring the […]
Okay, month two. The show “Light as Air” is up and the gallery continues to look fresh and lively. We have realized that by the time our lease is up in October we probably will have figured everything out, but we’re stepping slowly (but lively) at this point. Once again we each just showed up […]
I stopped at Salem Art Associations Bush Barn Gallery yesterday to check progress on the work going on at the annex… where I was lucky enough to be the first AIR in 2010…they’re adding an elevator which will allow those of us with mobility problems to more easily reach the gallery, a project I support […]
Did you ever have a day when you just DID NOT want to go out? Last Thursday for me… I wasn’t “unwell” exactly, and my mother is far beyond my reach, but it was a matter of comfort. I needed a day of doing small things. Getting some envelopes ready to mail… packing away Christmas… […]
New Year, new adventure. Necessary, interesting, taxing, good…fun. Every year for the last few for me has begun with one major resolution…”Have More Fun.” If you’re in town this Thursday evening come to the Willamette Heritage Center (formerly known as Mission Mill) from 5-7 and wish “us” well in this new endeavor. “Us” being Dayna […]
Well, we were supposed to be heading to Palm Springs for the week to bask in the sun…but it started to snow so we headed to Portland to be nearer the airport for our 9:30 a.m. departure…it was cold… and the streets of Portland were deserted as we headed to Doug and Marie’s house… At […]
Back in 2008 I started a little drawing book in which I would only record my coffees. For a couple of years it got buried in a pile of drawing books, but eventually was rescued…it started like this… and home again it became a sort of journal of my travels around town… trips to the […]
Wasn’t that nice?? I just loved the whole week nothing at all to do…well, stuff to do for sure, but without the need to FOCUS…as I’m always reminding myself to do. When we got to the beach I noted some of the poems that arrive occasionally on the fridge… so we took it to heart…two […]
I have to say, this is a favorite day…the frantic rush of presents and baking is over, the dust settles, you can put on your new flannel shirt and be cozy, peruse your Christmas books. Best of all when it falls on Saturday and nobody has to go anywhere. Whether your Christmas was one of […]
