A Good News Bare
On Shelter Island. In the midst of all the world’s chaos and negativity, there’s a little good news from here. All week, I have been having horrible nightmares about today’s doctor visit. Yo...
A Moment
Endings and Beginnings. There’s a lot of that as the country mourns the Orlando dead and injured. As the families mourn. I finish hanging the art from deep in the garage as they identify the ...
Driving Color
…which is similar to Driving Miss Daisy. View South from the top of Kate Sessions park over Mission Bay to Point Loma. Many years ago, I made a decision to stop driving because I couldn’t affo...
A Closet Organizer
I had a most interesting experience yesterday. An expert in closet reorganization redid my closet and my wardrobe. She’s just here from Australia, and she wants to start her own business reorg...
A Grad-ee-ation
Getting her Certificate. I must tell you that we are very proud of this grandchild. She’s moving on to sixth grade. She also reasons clearly, and she understands things far beyond what I did ...
Magics
Pine Needle Baskets I won’t bore you with all of my 177 photos. There are some like these magical pine needle baskets that I thought you would enjoy. A few other’s are pretty good too. Per...
Mad About the Fair
Fireman’s Destruction Derby tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, we are heading to the fair. It’s to be a steampunk fair this year, from what I can tell from the ads. He can eat the fattening foods...
Delightful June Gloom Time: Plus Again
2015 It’s Wednesday already. Blink, and the week is gone. I’ll write more later today…this is just a place holder….she says on her way to work the books. George loves these. I’m really enj...
Memorial Day 2016
George at his dad and mom’s marker. We are off to Fort Rosecrans. We are off to an estate sale, to Costco, to have some relaxed time, and perhaps to get rid of some of the too many art works ...
A Holiday
We have a semi slow weekend planned. Today’s the Friday meeting’s monthly potluck BBQ. That fits in well with the holiday. I always bring the lettuce, tomatoe, and red onion slices. G’s cook...
A Special Anniversary
1983 As one grows older, one accumulates various and sundry anniversaries all of your own. Birthdays of course. Perhaps you celebrate the day you met your husband. Maybe you married him twel...
Beginning Repetitions...and More.
This is my second week on the new schedule. Every morning I sip on my coffee over the local news and a book, then I head to the pool. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work at the Democratic Party Head...
It's Naive
Naïve by the bay. Any way you look at it, this camper is different. Did the owner start out to make a work of art? Was he just expressing an opinion when he stuck the first plastic flower ...
Saturday Snippits
• Yup, I was really cold last night. We had the light quilt on instead of this one. For some reason, shivering wakes me up. • Yes, people call the Political office with some strange things...
May Grey
Democrats this morning. She wants me at 10 to give her time to get organized. I can do 10. What I am having trouble doing is remembering what to say on the phone, and how to not kill other’...
Small Adventures
It’s been an adventuresome week so far. The dentist put my crown back on and didn’t charge. What more could one ask. I started work as a volunteer at the San Diego Democratic Party Headquarte...
One of those Fun Lists
For some silly reason, I love doing these lists: - list text here - - Fired a Gun x - Been Married X - Fell in love X - Swam in an ocean X - Gone on a blind date X - Skipped school X - Went...
Sometimes
I’ll do a little puttering today. I need to cut about 8 more small stars for the bottom of the crow quilt. They will make the bottom of the piece look as if it had little flowers on it. Above...
Imagine
The Great Geetini, 2005. Imagine, 33 years. We are off shortly for a light dinner and a movie. Holding hands.
I See You
1963. Cat eye glasses. I wore these when I joined the Army. 1980? Great big, heavy, real glass glasses that were very fashionable yet broke falling off my nose several times. The carpe...
Poetic Stress
Sunset Cliffs. I really want my pieces to have a punch line at the end. A “sock-it-to-‘em” line that leaves you with your mouth ajar. I’m not quite getting that element of surprise lately. ...
Sunday Lazies
Cormorants. The colors seemed magnified this day. After CBS Sunday Morning, we took our lazy selves out into the world cameras in hand. Cliffs, top of the Point, and bay all offered opportun...
Mother's Day
1981: Mother with Bob in front. I’m on top. Margot with Her lover and Milaka with William. My mother was often very ill, drunk at night, and attempting to be in control at all times. She had...
As I Sat Shelving....
…I opened one of the many new books of poetry that were just donated. One word on a page caught my mind and opened up as if it were an umbrella. I could almost feel it unfolding around me, and...
On Track
What am I doing…a brief but delightful talk with Bobbie. We are all in our seventies now…and what do we want to accomplish with the time we have left. I want to keep writing. She wants to kee...
