Bob died in May, very suddenly. We were in Italy and missed his memorial service but as we winged our way across the Atlantic he was in our thoughts: Last weekend a few of us gathered at Sharon’s near the Bay to scatter his ashes in a place he loved. We had a little lunch […]

4th of July Fish…etc.
A great beach weekend and here’s a good recipe for grilling a whole Chinook salmon Take the whole fish…rub with olive oil and then make slits in the fish into which you put thin slices of butter. Get the corn ready Heat the grill… set the table Cook the fish 11 minuntes on a side…it […]
Weekend…
And here was a weekend I REALLY needed to have a change of venue. First we needed to celebrate Susan’s birthday… and then I had to add my Cece duck to the pile…”top duck,” you might say, and then the wonderful calming moment of doing the dishes. There’s no dishwasher humming away in our beach […]
Shelter…
Sharon sent these photos a few weeks ago from “our” beach of a nice new addition to the beach landscape We went straight to the beach this morning but, alas, the ocean and beachcombers have had their way with it, underscoring the transient nature of shelter, perhaps?
New Year, New Decade….
Starting both “on the edge”…a twenty year tradition. After the New Year’s Eve revelry at the beach…(we stayed up til 3:00 a.m.!) we had a quiet day today, with a view of the bay: a coffee with Hans’ SUPERIOR foam: a view of the bay from a different vantage point: a stop at the fish […]
Small Building Mania…
I’ve always liked small buildings (..”let’s play forts!…”) but since the studio went in I’ve taken to noticing them everywhere. This one’s being built in Cutler City and is cute…board and batten, etc…
Sweet Miscellany…
At the beach we sort of wander through a day and what happens, well…happens. Today we saw this adorable small building looking like a combo of the old west and Amsterdam (tho destined to be a coffee drive-through I fear), some deers wandering through a neighborhood of homes where nobody lives trimming the wisteria a […]
Eugene Art Day…
We went to Eugene today and took in a lot of regional art from various periods. We visited the Eugene post office to see the 1943 WPA murals painted by Carl Morris (1911-1993). Morris migrated from California to Spokane in 1938 to direct the Spokane WPA Art Center. There he met Northwest School painters Guy […]
Quilt retreat, Day 3
We really worked, and the method became very interesting. I would work on the quilt awhile, then Kay, then me etc. Our starting place was a Rosie Lee Tompkins quilt Yesterday, day 3, we worked about nine hours and Kay got up early to do the very last bit, which she’s working oneven as I […]
Beach Update…
What a weekend. Today it’s POURING rain so the weekend seems like a dream, but it was sunny, warm, beautiful and filled with fun. We arrived Friday at sunset, just in time to see the UFO’s streaking by: and Saturday was all sun all day so we took a beach walk and checked progress on […]
