Car Moment…
While I like to keep the blog non-commercial (except for coffee…), I have to report on our latest consumer moment. We got a new car. We had a 17 year old car and an 18 year old car and we were feeling the need for more reliable transportation. In our long lives together we had […]
The Bush House Conservatory…!!
The Bush House conservatory was built in 1882…the oldest in the Pacific Northwest. It was built by Mr. Bush for his daughters Sally and Eugenia and was built of brick with a concrete veneer. There was no foundation for the original building and it was first heated with a wood stove. In the 1930’s a […]
Brochures, Salads and Sake…
Yesterday was one of those days of mixed up activities…all fun. I started by going to Waller Hall on Willamette’s campus This building was built about 1864 and has served many uses for the university over the decades (including residence early on). The money for the initial building was raised by A.F. Waller, missionary minister […]
L&S…the Photo Session…and on
Yesterday was a busy one, beginning in the basement of the Hallie Ford Museum where the excellent Frank Miller came to photograph a few of the Lord & Schryver drawings for publicity use. Frank arrived with tons of equipment and quickly set up…ready to shoot: My CO-curator Sharon Rose was on hand, and the first […]

The art world, like the middle east, is under going a major, youth-driven, change…though luckily not so violent. Along with the established galleries and the established art scene, the 20-somethings are seeking out other venues…or really ANY venues…to show their work. Point of pride is to be in a coffee shop, a bar, a…hair salon. […]

Oh is there anything nicer than a jaunt to a nursery on a Saturday morning? Carol and I headed out to Godfrey’s in Shaw for her annual impatiens (though they had no orange ones this year???) and the place was hopping as I hauled my wagon to check out I noted that at least one […]
L&S…the pickup…
Yesterday Sharon and I met at the museum to go with collections curator Jonathan Bucci to the Knight Library in Eugene to pick up the drawings for the show of Lord & Schryver work that Sharon and I are curating (opening at the Hallie Ford Museum on June 22, 2011…more to come)… The helpful librarians […]
DIY…The Garden Shed…
Remember this diagram??? Well, against all odds (as it seemed when just looking at it), R and Bill the Garden Guy took it on and wrestled it to the ground finishing up with only 8 missing screws and I extra piece (?) Big enough for two bikes and the garden tools and pots…but as you […]
The Leggy Rhodie…
We had a leggy rhodie growing under a tree and then the tree fell down and we left the rhodie…thinking it was on it’s last “legs” but this spring…leggy as it is, it’s blooming like crazy and from inside it’s equally pretty… even when the blinds are down…
