There is nothing more numbing than a long narrative of what somebody else has been doing…sort of like an over-long Christmas letter…but images, well, always good for some of us. So, images only, this is what my week has held…

Black Friday….
Well, definitely gray Friday, anyway. Snow and chill predicted to be on the way… The other day a white pick-up pulled up in front of our house and two young persons jumped out, raked up all the leaves in front in the street, and drove away. ?????Composters? Neighborhood helpers? A new eau de vie? The […]
Blair Saxon-Hill

Blair currently has a show up at the Littman Gallery at Portland State University, “From the Beginning […]

Campus Fun
In the paper this morning was the announcement that the very nice Professor of Politics at Willamette University, Sammy Basu, has been awarded the Carnegie/CASE award for teaching, as Oregon’s Professor of the year. Facebook lit up with pictures of a series of banners the University has put up honoring all 11 WU faculty members […]
Gordon House
After a brief visit with Z&A to deliver the quilt we headed home and on to Silverton, to the Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house known as the Gordon House. The house was built in 1963 after a design Wright made for Conrad and Evelyn Gordon in 1958 before he died. It originally sat on a […]
