These few days after Christmas have been pretty quiet around here. The first day we went to the movies (“The Way”…thumbs up), the second day we ventured out for coffee, and yesterday I never left the house. Heaven. Sewing, reading (Louise Penny, “A Fatal Grace”…good Canadian mystery series), netflix (catching up on “Mad Men”)…here’s my […]

Christmas Week…Monday and Tuesday
A busy week for most of us…Monday for me started with assisting Nancy Lindburg who is overseeing the re-arrangement of the art collection at the Salem Public Library. Jonathan Bucci, Collections’ Curator at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, designed the rehanging and he and museum colleague David Anderson were installing things in new locations […]
Tree Topper Extraordinaire…
While I was stopped at a red light downtown yesterday, a big gull flew down and landed right on top of this tree and I HAD to take this picture…though by the time I got my camera out the light was green and there was honking…I considered it festive Christmas honking…I mean who among you […]
Don Olsen, Helmet Art…See See Coffee
I drove up the pike again Saturday for Don Dagg’s birthday party (Happy Birthday Don!), followed by a visit to Don Olsen‘s studio sale where we shopped big, and then headed to 1642 Sandy Blvd. to See See Motorcycle company. Just opened by owner Thor Drake, on view right now are twenty one motorcycle helmets […]
City Days
We’ve gotten in the Christmas spirit by spending a few days in the city, a trip that began as R attending a meeting, and turned into a three day festival of varied activities that surprised us with how much you can really cram into three days. I could draw it out over several posts but […]
KMUZ, 88.5
I think I told you about my fantasy of having a radio show…yes? Well, against all odds KMUZ got a license, got the equipment, put up a tower and…voila. A radio station is about to go live. They’re short on “content” here at the beginning, so I got an email to come on down and […]
ROBERT’S BOOKS…and more…
There’s this really GREAT used book store at the beach…Robert’s…owned by a book lover who also owns a new book store (Bob’s Beach Books). But it’s the used bookstore that lures us in, past the funny parking sign to the sign that tells you this is a serious book store …and in you go where […]
On to Vermont…
Leaving downtown Boston we drove back across Massachusetts (with more fall color, but only just beginning) on our way to visit Ellen and Larry in rural Vermont… they live on 20 or so acres near Dummerston, Vermont, which is near Brattleboro…and with good directions we actually found them. The quilts were airing as a welcome… […]
The Breaching of the Condit Dam…
Back in August we visited the site of the Condit Dam and reported in on the fact that it was soon to be blown up and the river returned to it’s natural aspect. Well…today was the day. 11:30…BOOM. I couldn’t be there of course, but Jennifer thoughtfully provided me with a live stream link and […]
iPhone Postscript
I sent this photo of a book on iPhone photos to my brother in Seattle…taken with my iPhone. He said the coolest part was that when he received the photo it said “taken with my iPhone” at the bottom…juxtapositions are all in this funny world…
