No room to move

Sunday, October 30th, 2011

Such a busy weekend. We just had bamboo floors installed in the living room and dining room, after ripping out all the carpet ourselves. White carpet in a dining room. Who does that? Along with this is the obligatory moving around of furniture, and getting rid of things we don’t use, or giving them a [...]

Lights in the rain

Sunday, November 28th, 2010

It’s another rainy Sunday here in Oregon. But we will probably put up the holiday lights anyway. Last night we went out to dinner at New Seasons, a local schmancy grocery store, and Derek saw his first holiday lights of the year. He was VERY excited, and kept saying “Who else in this neighborhood has [...]

June.

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

And it is raining, still. I know it usually stops by the time we have our annual party, which is the Saturday on or closest after the summer solstice…but it sure is grey a lot, here, still. The garden loves it, however, and I am not one to complain about free water for my plants. [...]

Plans

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

A lot of my life is plans right now. I just finished the yearly really big glass show I do, and it went quite well. Almost as well as last year, within $100 worth in terms of sales. In this still sluggish economy, I’m totally down with doing just as well as the year before. [...]

Pink Martinis and Giant Beavers

Monday, September 7th, 2009

On Saturday we took Derek to the Oregon Zoo to see a play called ‘Oregon! Oregon!’ and a full set by Pink Martini. The desc. of this event was: Hold on to your myrtle wood as Pink Martini and the Oregon National Guard 234th Army Band and Oregon 150 present “Oregon! Oregon! 2009: A sesquicentennial [...]

Sorry, sorry, haven’t posted in this journal for a bit. We are all fine here, everything’s fine…how are you? Last week we went to Breitenbush and soaked in hot springs and slept in tents and hiked and drank fabulous filtered water from the nearby river. It was excellent. This morning DLJ put the final waterproof [...]

Dripping…

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

after a shower, sprawled out on the bed. It has been a lovely weekend, fabulous weather, lots of water, fun, popsicles and lounging around. And the riding of scooters. My kiln needed a part and we installed it, but it still has a heating issue. I have one more thing to try, then I just [...]

Mom’s Day

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

It was a really good day today. Last year I was sick, sick, sick for no good reason in bed all day. Today we were at the coast. Derek had his first in-the-ocean experience and really had a great time! He was cold but didn’t want to leave, but walked up over 50 steps all [...]
