We like Palm Springs, which runs a bit against type, but that is life I guess, so goodbye Bakersfield. This trip was organized around the wish of a friend to have Roger give a toast at her wedding, taking place in far southern Arizona…Sierra Vista… where her parents live. Though the wedding itself occurred on […]
August and December are months when, for me anyway, not much art gets made because of family, gatherings, celebrations, weather…and so on. And speaking of weather….we’re having a heat wave…last week three days in triple digits…so Tuesday when we left town it was already 99 but, blissfully, we arrived at the beach and it was […]
Well busy, yep, but sick…that nasty chest cold stuff going around. We retreated to the beach where we could cough in unison, we discovered…and be restored… We even got well enough to do a little pruning…the wisteria for instance… no need to cut the rosemary back…the fence guy took care of that… all that’s left…for […]
Here’s a few things I’ve been thinking about lately…want to take a guess???
When she heard Zach and Ashton were getting married, my sister in law LeeAnn immediatelsuggested we make a quilt…because she’s a quilter. She suggested she make half the blocks and I make half the blocks, and she chose a Becky Goldsmith applique pattern. Each block could vary between 9 and 11 inches wide, and would […]
R is high-functioning, as you know. Heat doesn’t seem to stop him. He doesn’t sit around complaining like some of us (ahem)…he just keeps on going. Here he is dancing with his cousin Lisa at Zach’s wedding (102 AT LEAST!) (The two of them used to write novels together when they were growing up in […]
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 […]
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…. […]
My work at Project Space is winding down. I went in on Saturday and rearranged… Here’s a quick review of what’s happening down there (and let me remind you that you can click on these small thumbnail photos to see the image in a larger format) …with another reminder that Wednesday is “First Wednesday” and […]
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 […]
