If you are looking for a memorable dinner in Seattle, off the beaten path, exquisite, attention to detail, carefully sourced food…I’ve got just the place…The Corson Building…(5609 Corson Avenue, S…Seattle) The building was at one time a family home and business that sold statuary, and is located in an industrial area south of Seattle, called […]
I think it’s been a while since I reported in on the “Snail Blog”…the daily postcards sent by my friend Ellen in Vermont…the new series of collected cards is the “Huge Fake Animal” series which is a total crack-up…
In July I dashed to New Mexico for a luxurious and fun week with Mary, a friend from the Chicago days (we go wayyy back…). I flew in from Portland and she from Chicago… and we met at the airport. After a great dinner and proper toast we headed out of Albuquerque for Mary’s house… […]
We went to Minto Park today and reminded ourselves what we were doing out there in 2012… getting ready for a wedding… and two years later we have a new guy to hang out with… and though it was HOT today, it was nothing like August 4, 2012, when it was 104…phew!
We’re very sad today thinking about our friend Tyko who died in an accident last weekend. Tyko was a carpenter, an entrepreneur, a friend, an artist. He remodeled a garage into an office/studio for us at the beach, and in 1995 put an addition on our (1849) Court Street house that changed the way we […]
Once we thought of calling our house “Hydrangea House” but we gave it up, though we didn’t give up hydrangeas. This morning early I made the rounds to see how everybody was doing, noting that early morning light is harsher on the plants, photographically speaking, than later on…but still, they look good…big blue and little […]
The Crab Pot was an institution in Lincoln City…most especially in Cutler City. The original business dates way back to the 1920’s… For 39 years it has been owned and operated by Allen Black, who lived above the storefront. R and I have been buying fish there since 1992 and have had many a good […]
I haven’t been in the studio much…Italy, 4th of July, grandbaby….so today I sort of sunk in for a while. It’s cool out there in the studio (temperature wise, I mean) totally shaded by a walnut tree and a bay tree intertwined. As is my habit, I try to find some past work to look […]
Today we met at Kathleen Leonard’s house and let me just say, she is a VERY creative person. We arrived and looked around her nice house, settled in with some coffee… and I began to slowly realize that the woman is a dynamo. She’s only been quilting about 10 years and she thinks she’s made […]
Oh bliss…this is it, don’t you think? Berries… pie and birthdays dinners with neighbors (and here R had to borrow Evan’s garden gloves to open the champagne…) drives to the beach… More dinners… Thanks for the evening, you guys! heading home with a view of the Bay… …and GUYS…it isn’t even the 4th yet!
On The Way
