As you might remember, I have an innate love of the car wash as a mood elevator and visual treat. Happy weekend. Keep in touch.

Clearing the Air
Now that the long winter and wet early spring are behind us, it’s good to raise the spirits. Sad things piled up over here…our son and daughter-in-law and grand kids took off for a couple of years far away, a good friend died leaving an unfill-able space, maybe a health issue or two…one does adjust […]
Life After Flu
I’ve been hit hard this flu season…three weeks at Christmas and three more weeks in Jan/Feb. Thank goodness for quilts (this one made by my friend Sharon) and books… …and if you haven’t read Colin Meloy’s YA adventure “Wildwood,” consider it…the main locale is Portland and it is a VERY fun read…here are the maps […]
Christmas Car Wash
I looked back over all the posts I’ve made about Christmas, and discovered to my amazement that I’ve been writing this blog for 10 Years! One of my favorite Christmas posts was the Christmas carwash…the car wash being a place that always makes me happy (i know, I know, but…) so the other day after […]

No kidding, the car wash is always a mood elevator and ESPECIALLY since they changed to yellow scrubby stuff and blue soap…

Blog Sloth Admission
I’ve been lazy in the blog department but then…no time to write and nobody has time to read so, what the heck…and then it hasn’t been inspiring weather, you know? Torrential rain for days on end…I KNOW it’s Oregon, but…it’s been cozy in–looking out through the drear… and then today…sunshine, of a sort. Clearly the […]
The Coolest Thing I Did Today
It was 99 degrees today, with 104 predicted for tomorrow…just now at 8:30 p.m. I’m opening the house for a wisp of breeze. I DO believe in global warming, btw. But here’s the coolest thing I did today…a long lunch and a warm and lovely conversation with my friend Nadia…in from Tunisia. She writes a […]
A Refreshing Interlude
The thing I really like about the car wash is that you will never see the same image twice…it will always be slightly different. Each trip through is like a short performance…you enter, you wait and then suddenly you are inside a dynamic set of images…fantastic. and then when you come out…your car is clean. […]
