New Year, new adventure. Necessary, interesting, taxing, good…fun. Every year for the last few for me has begun with one major resolution…”Have More Fun.” If you’re in town this Thursday evening come to the Willamette Heritage Center (formerly known as Mission Mill) from 5-7 and wish “us” well in this new endeavor. “Us” being Dayna […]
Well, we were supposed to be heading to Palm Springs for the week to bask in the sun…but it started to snow so we headed to Portland to be nearer the airport for our 9:30 a.m. departure…it was cold… and the streets of Portland were deserted as we headed to Doug and Marie’s house… At […]
Back in 2008 I started a little drawing book in which I would only record my coffees. For a couple of years it got buried in a pile of drawing books, but eventually was rescued…it started like this… and home again it became a sort of journal of my travels around town… trips to the […]
Wasn’t that nice?? I just loved the whole week nothing at all to do…well, stuff to do for sure, but without the need to FOCUS…as I’m always reminding myself to do. When we got to the beach I noted some of the poems that arrive occasionally on the fridge… so we took it to heart…two […]
Coffee, errands, chasing the sunset home…
I have to say, this is a favorite day…the frantic rush of presents and baking is over, the dust settles, you can put on your new flannel shirt and be cozy, peruse your Christmas books. Best of all when it falls on Saturday and nobody has to go anywhere. Whether your Christmas was one of […]
We had this idea that we’d get up really early, do all of our errands and then return home by 9:30 a.m. with the day ahead of us…it looked like this… 8:00 a.m. leave home…dark and pouring… head south to Kinkos to make 20 more Christmas cards…(NOBODY in the store at 8:00 a.m.) Lifesource next…florals […]
Today I was able to enjoy the images as Christmas steams toward us…like the view from the parking garage on the way to yoga.. the Christmas village at Gerry and Pug’s Magic at the Mill the new Fuji Polaroid film… hanging out with Whistler’s father.. and the mail that brought word from loved ones near […]
I don’t think I have the medical condition that Makes you SAD on the longest night/shortest day of the year…but I look forward to the return of light in a BIG way… As soon as the festivities are over, I begin to think of making new work and doing new things…the excitement of the possibilities […]
Bob Schlegel is a good painter. In our world you see his work all over in public places. And though his paintings are nice, calming, interesting and the sort of paintings you can live with, it’s the other stuff he makes that I love. Stuff isn’t maybe the best word for these inventive crazy constructions…houses, […]
