This day last year . . . Happy Anniversary, you two! What a beautiful day that was, my loved ones altogether. Here, my son with his three older sisters. . . the little guy grew up! And chose a par....
Come Travel with Me . . . We Won't Be Long . . . 24 Aug 2013 | 05:45 am
I'd say there have been enough words around here lately, wouldn't you agree? In the last week, I've written about struggling against depression, dipped into some memories about birthday parties, and t...
Keeping it Real -- What I Wore on the Mountain . . . 22 Aug 2013 | 04:54 am

Unpacking. . . 15 Aug 2013 | 05:15 am
Back home on the island, unpacking and thinking . . . and remembering glorious, if often stark, images from the trip into BC's interior. Such different landscapes than anything we have here on the Coa...
Another Summer Hat! 13 Aug 2013 | 09:16 pm
At least for now, let's put a cap (sorry!) on my maundering and wittering. Instead, as promised, here's another summer hat. Not to get all artsy on you here, but look at me, playing in/with the mirr....
