A deal has been arranged, and we moved into “our” room at Z & A’s… Due to art research and occasional fun (…we only allow ourselves OCCASIONAL fun…) we were needing a landing spot in Portland…and now we have one. By “moved in” I really mean we brought some art and a lamp or two…they […]

Snail Blog Milestone!
I like the notion of keeping in touch. Maybe that’s one reason I like to blog…(but only one… it’s really about images for me…). Back in 2009 my friend Ellen began writing me a postcard every day as a way to keep in touch (AND to use up post cards kicking around the drawers) and […]
BUSY WEEK…
We zoomed to Portland this past week for a sleep-over…the weather was mostly like that pictured in this Michael Brophy painting… but spirits were high anyway. We visited Sara, checked in to our hotel of choice and headed over to Henk’s opening at Laura Russo. The paintings are gorgeous, big, full of drama. (As it […]
Cast #2
I DO very well realize that this blog post is iffy for many readers, in the TMI zone for sure…but, the process of removing a cast and recasting an injured leg is interesting in its own way…(and, well, it’s my blog and my leg….so delete now if you need to…). The long awaited day came […]
Tuesday…
The convalescent day moves at a slow pace…maybe the pace of healing itself. It isn’t unpleasant really…just…slow. Stately. But I’m beginning to enjoy convalescence because it brings you so many things…like delicious luncheons brought by friends (THANK YOU Nancy and Ellen…) who stay and tell you stories of the bustle of the world outside in […]
Getting Ready …
I was making my Thanksgiving grocery lists this morning and R had a “Martha Stewart moment”…”Why not put lights on the volunteer cedar outside the bedroom window?” We were going to cut it down and put it on the deck, BUT…really… why not??? I already had the lights… but it DID involve ladders… He was […]
“A DAY WITHOUT WALLS…”
Ellen (creator of the “snail blog”) particularly loves that rare day when there are no requirements, limitations, meetings, errands…a day to just do, well, whatever…and she calls it “a day without walls…” and I think it works for blogs too…
“Honesty Lunaria: How One Thing Leads to Another”
We were outside doing a bit of fall garden clean-up today and I found a stalk of money plant I had yanked out in the summer and put aside to deal …and then forgot all about it. A little bouquet is always nice, so I started removing the seed pod coverings…before you remove the coverings […]
TOO MUCH FUN…
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 […]
