The Week in Review …
(leaving out all politics…). After a stormy beach weekend we returned Monday to the chaos of home renovation…the week brought a new floor, paint, and the shower tile going in…here are the visuals: Friday I took a break and headed over to pick up Jon and Irene and head out for lunch to the MIG […]
1000!!!! Love Letter…
This is the 1000th (!!!) post I’ve made on this blog since I began in 2007…phew. That’s a lot of images and a lot of comments and a lot of fun for me. But I think I’ll use this 1000th post for a love letter to R for at least 1000 reasons, and here are […]

These three were chosen from a “diverse pool” of 183 artists, and each will receive an unrestricted grant […]

Happy Birthday Harry!
We started Sunday at the beach… but quickly jumped in the car, and headed home to get ready for Harry’s 84th birthday party.

Living the Creative Life: Claudia Cave, Ella Rhoades, Cynthia Spencer
On Monday the “Salem Tribe” (Heidi Preuss Grew, Kristin Kuhns, Corrie Loomis Dietz and me) went to the Corvallis Arts Center to see the drawing show “Making a Mark” which comes down May 18th.
