Today Roger turned 40 again and the whole weekend was devoted to small celebrations . It was sunny and beautiful at the beach so the weekend was organized around whatever the birthday person wanted to do. Beach walk of course: and the beach full of spindrift: it was warm and sunny and calm–he didn’t even […]

Is this concrete surrealism…????
The Day Itself…
Here’s a vacation blog day…no art today…only family. Sometimes I have to post stuff just my family wants to see since they are my most loyal readers!! We had a great Thanksgiving and much laughing and carrying on and eating good food. (There is nothing like a family that can cook!!) Highlights besides food included […]
Getting Ready II
So yesterday was busy with preparations. We made the cottage studio into a B & B Zach came and made some bread with this loaf looking like a squashed legionnaire face and while Zach and I chopped up about 300 vegetables, Roger put on the tablecloth and rounded up the chairs. This morning Zach was […]
Getting Ready…
Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday. No gifts (hence no shopping), minimal decorating, three basic elements: food, family, friends. Today I began to make the lists, think of the “sides” we’ll eat and enjoy, and polish the silver. It wasn’t a pretty sight: And as I stood at the sink, with my hands in the […]
The Stormy weekend
Sheets of rain, sheets! Wind, wind-tunnel wind. Cold. Ugh. But dashing back to the car in the rain after a restaurant dinner there was this amazingly beautiful sidewalk thing happening. I wonder what makes some cement…I think maybe newer cement…hold the image of leaves? Beautiful though, however it happens.

Mary Lou and Alan (mostly Alan on the building front…) have built a new space for special exhibitions and the space was jammed last night and […]
Stephan Soihl at Blackfish Gallery
We stopped at Blackfish Gallery Sunday to see Steve Soihl and to watch his newest kinetic sculpture dance through its paces. A beautiful combination of clear tubing filled with various weights and colors of motor and machine oil, the parts twist and turn and move like a Malevich painting come to life. It’s on view […]
“The Mountain and the Metropolis”
Zoomed up to Tacoma Friday evening and checked in to the lovely Hotel Murano. Because of the proximity to the Glass Museum and being in Chihuly-land, the museum is filled with glass work of varying kinds: We were there for Roger to give a talk in conjunction with a current show at the Tacoma Art […]
