Laughing With Monsters
Laughing with monsters, Comic Con 2014 I was wider but happy. Most of the time last year, we were laughing. Even the exhibitors seemed happy. Sometimes this year, it seems we have been slogg...
Others
I appreciate folks from any planet.
Comic Con: Day 2
The floor is always jammed. In back of this couple is George with a Yoda backpack. Tho I lean more toward Steampunk than stitches or pirates, I admit we know a pirate or two. Himself: Hit s...

Comic Con: Day 1
Wednesday night we picked up our badges, and today we will head downtown. How to register as a first time volunteer seems a bit beyond me, but if I just show up I’m sure it all will be explaine...
Countdown
Dories from the Surprise which is in drydock. Once a year we turn into turnips. George is going to be an especially lovely turnip this year with the makeover of his Steampunk Workman costume....
In Pictures
The top of the BERKELEY. A story in pictures: We rode the trolley downtown, crossed the new park slowly because of my other hip, and got our wristbands. We were just too late for a harbor ride...

Rain Diamonds
From the County Fair. A simple yet colorful quilt. The weather is backwards here. It’s blowing up from Mexico and through Arizona before it gets to us. This hot humid rain is all anyone can t...
The Little Bits of Summer
“Are you wearing your costume to Comic Con this year?” Asks the man at the cleaners. “We are having a mural artist from Comic Con come to speak to us,” says friend Camille. “He’s the one who di...
Stairway to Nowhere
George and I headed off to the second wave of that Point Loma estate sale on Saturday Morning. The first time I was there, all I saw were the books. The second visit, we had been allowed into ...
Errand Saturday
Mission San Juan Capistrano half destroyed arch with bougainvillea. I like Errand Saturdays. I need two handles for things in the kitchen. I need to get new photography for Great Curves store ...
Pretty Darned Good Days
- Twin sized quilt, hand stitched, not made in china. One of a pair sold over the weekend. My days are pretty good with a few caveats. Still dozing off at inappropriate times…after work, after...
People Friends
G and Chelle I’ve known Bobbie since 1966. We had a lovely morning with her…I forgot to take a picture. And I had my camera with me. Shame on me. We unloaded her SUV, and it was an amazing a...
Fruited Friends
More fruit…. I love my friends. Captain Poolie not only told me she wanted the lemon pitcher, but she cropped a Facebook photo of mine and said, “That one..” Bobbie came down with a carload ...
Sleep, Beeutiful Sleep
A Father’s Day visit. They were laughing so hard everything was a blur. “I always wanted to by someone a tie,” said Margot. We took them out to lunch and laughed some more. Today George and Zo...
Fruits and Nutz
I used to collect old fashioned three pronged forks. My grandmother’s fork disappeared in the early seventies. If I saw one after that, I bought it. I was very obsessive about this. We had a ...
Place Settings: Of all things.
SD County Fair: First place winner. Modern dishes and South Seas color everywhere. SD County Fair: Honorable mention using antique, 1920s, pressed glass. I love dishes. I suppose I was a norm...

Busy, Busy!!
Sometimes all you can do is laugh at yourself. About everything. A quiz on Facebook showed me that we had a very low IQ. G helped me with the numbers. A friend posted something about, “If yo...
50 Years
There’s a hurricane passing by, and the trees outside my windows are waving. It’s not really raining though the world is a bit damp out there. I’ve kissed George good bye….he’s off North to wo...
There's Magic in the Air
G and I were charmed by the diversity in the fair this year. There’s always everything from soup to nuts, but this year there was magic sprinkled among us mortals. The Steampunk Mime Troup was...
George and Mage go to the Fair
Sometimes the most important part of the Fair are these machines. Since I often ride around, my feet don’t feel as awful as G’s do. They tickle my feet as they vibrate, but they turn his to ha...
