Greetings friends. It’s been a low-news week around here…not too much to report and not too much coming in except off of the internet and you’ve seen the same stuff I have… So after coffee and the BEE (luckily we got to GENIUS early today…phew) I carefully considering wardrobe options (Kay suggested number one might […]
The days seem to “zoom” by… I’m not THINKING about this situation so much as just trying to survive it. I want to go have coffee with my drawing friends… and so on. So do you. So does everybody. I no longer think in terms of “inspirational messages”… only just in terms of getting through […]
I’ve always loved comics. When I was a kid Uncle Vern sent me a subscription to Donald Duck Comics and though I found those particular comic books not totally interesting, I was immediately in love with the format. By the time I was 10 I was spending lots of my hard-earned babysitting money on comic […]
Do we have any real idea what our world will be as we slog through this corona-spring? What our world will be when this is over? Nope. It’s unfolding all right, but we can’t make out the outline of our collective future…at least it isn’t visible from here in the far west. So what do […]
Nope. It isn’t. And we’re only a couple of weeks in. Our county has the second highest infection rate in the state. It’s raining. I woke up early and read all the predictions for our future….eek. Our son messaged us that really he and his family would not be able to leave the Virgin Islands […]
Greetings friends. Have you been having nice conversations and emails and texts with loved ones? We have because…well…everybody is home and thinking about everybody else. (Here R’s cousin in Boston…) This morning I got wondering what the world looked like for some of my cohort (as we now say)…my own family and friends. I sent […]
Nancy sent me this lovely hand-made birthday card that is an image for our times (thank you Nancy!)… But to back track…we went to the beach Saturday for my birthday, and to clean out the pantry and retrieve some toilet paper (who is it that HAS all the toilet paper I wonder?). In spite of […]
I first published this on my birthday in 2009, but I still think it tells my story so let’s go again!! Today is my birthday and I’ve attained a certain age. I have plans, things to do, places to go. But today I’m looking back. (I tried to cut my own bangs–oops.) For a few […]
“Duck Soup” means an easily accomplished task…pretty far from our world of the moment. But, 14 baby ducklings hatched over at the Mill Thursday… Scanning our favorite news sources came up with these images…the old reality (from the NYTimes) …and the new reality…(from the Washington Post the pictures of the 1918 flu look very like […]
We are literally “all in the same boat.” (and here’s a boat my Dad made for “the boys”) (and two boats from Mr. May…still missed here on “the Island”) How many times over my long life have I heard the phrase “we’re all in the same boat”…but “all” really meant all people of a certain […]
