I did the kindest thing yesterday by posting one single picture of the bride and groom… and you may let it go at that…BUT…if you want to know what went on, and see some of the work, fun and love that went into the moment…read on… On Friday the flowers were duly cut and transported […]

The Wedding Countdown…Two More Days…
This is probably the last pre-wedding post I’ll make…tomorrow, “one more day,” will involve us getting up early to cut dahlias at Sharon’s, zooming to Portland, the rehearsal and dinner, etc….I guess I’ll make one more big wedding post AFTER the fact…and then it will be back to “On The Way” as you know it […]
Wedding Countdown…3 more days…
As the wedding nears I’m abandoning all thoughts of keeping my usual blog on an even keel, and moving straight to “Zach and Ashton: The Teenage Years.” Well, they were both beautiful teenagers…ladies first: here’s Ashton at 15… and here at 17 with her Mom Cheryl… Zach at about 15… and at 17…with David B…. […]
Wedding Countdown…4 More Days…
I went up to Cheryl’s (MOB) yesterday to help write all the place cards for the wedding dinner, and had a lot of fun and a DELICIOUS salad supper… left to right Ashton (B), Britt (BM), Amy (MOH) and Cheryl (MOB)…and we had to work for our supper for sure… Did I mention that Zach […]
Wedding Countdown…6 more days…
Sunday…our neighbor’s apple tree is collapsing branch by branch due to a too heavy crop of apples… so R is lightening the load on our side by making some apple sauce today…they are gravensteins, an early apple, so he thinks the sauce will be tasty… Zach and Ashton both took an interest in cooking at […]
A Summer Weekend in Salem…
Friday I finished the little quilt top I’ve been working on down at Project Space (now to actually QUILT it…) and then I went to CAMP…for an hour. I visited the Art Camp held at Willamette University and watched with interest as the campers worked on small wax pieces. They were FEARLESS and willing to […]
Summers Past…
Consumed as we are by the flurry of summer activity around here, it’s kind of nice to check our long ago past activities…me as an “only child” (which didn’t last too long…) up near Ishpeming, MI… R helping his Dad white wash the basement for a TV room, with sister Carolyn possibly helping and Piatt […]
This One Goes Out to Dave…
Oh thank goodness Dave wanted to see more of Ian’s truck…(since I took a TON of photos…). It’s a 1941 Dodge pickup which had been customized a bit when he got it…though Ian has done a lot to it himself. After he got the truck, Ian realized he actually had a 1942 license plate hanging […]
An American Day…
Our 4th of July had all the usual elements for a great holiday…beautiful surroundings: …a little work…fix the screen door, put up the trellis, weed…wash the windows… good food… SPARKLERS!!!! and…FIREWORKS… Campfire with s’mores at the Zeeks… and the next day off they go
News Notes…
I think I might be taking my “girl reporter” role a LITTLE too seriously. I Just HATE it when the local paper scoops me. A month or so ago I noticed this building at 440 State Street…that the hideous 1960’s false front had been removed revealing a sort of “time capsule”… and before I could […]
