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 […]
OUT!
Yesterday I got the “get out of jail” card…so we took off It was one of those weird days in Oregon where it sun shines and then rains, repeat…and we were doing a lot of unglamorous errands like recycling styrofoam and old telephones and stuff…returning an unused grab bar to Ace Hardware…you know the kind […]
The Beach House
It seems impossible to believe this, but 20 years ago we bought this little beach house on Siletz Bay. We’ve tinkered with it a little bit, but mostly it has been an oasis of calm in our busy lives, a family place. I’m entertaining myself this week with some before and after photos…here’s how our […]
Wednesday was quilt day…
Mary lives in Tennessee but she keeps track of things. She emailed me that quilter Elizabeth Barton was going to speak on the 12th at the Columbia FiberArts Guild in Portland, so I went along to hear her. What a hoot. Barton is English, born and raised in York (though now living in Athens, Georgia)…and […]

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 Perfect Summer Day…Almost
Summer was a long time coming this year, but it’s in full swing at the beach…perfect day after perfect day… We haven’t been here too much this summer for a few reasons, and when we’re here we’re usually on one of the patios so imagine my surprise when I actually stepped into the back yard […]
L&S…the Photo Session…and on
Yesterday was a busy one, beginning in the basement of the Hallie Ford Museum where the excellent Frank Miller came to photograph a few of the Lord & Schryver drawings for publicity use. Frank arrived with tons of equipment and quickly set up…ready to shoot: My CO-curator Sharon Rose was on hand, and the first […]
