Overcast skies followed by blue skies. Bright, warm sun and then a bit of mist. Cup of coffee, a glass of wine. Long walks on one of our long, wide sandy beaches. Great friends, food, drink, time for walks, games, puzzles, reading and oh so much laughter!

Just returned home from another lovely short trip;

Just returned home from another lovely short trip; this time to Manzanita, Oregon. Once home, I started watering the patio pots and came across these little beauties. No, they’re not as deep red and ripe as they were growing by the handfuls in June, but Oregon evergreen strawberries just keep coming. A nice welcome home!

Unabashedly feminist. Judy Chicago was a very important artist for me as a young feminist woman. I saw her “Dinner Party” early after it first exhibited and was enthralled. It was a joy to share my visit with a few of my fab girlfriends. “Unabashedly feminist,” assessed one. One of many reasons I love these and so many other kick ass women in my life.

Great exhibit at the Oregon Jewish Museum and center for Holocaust Education in Portland.

Seaside … the century-old Promenade, the tide pools at the Cove at the south of town and the Estuary at the north. Miles of beach. The Turnaround and a fun and funky throwback of a seaside downtown.

I have some silly and fun collections. These heart

I have some silly and fun collections. These heart rocks from Alaska. A plate of dice. Masks. So many shells and rocks from places near and far. Some blown glass. Some fossils. A couple prices of petrified wood. Little figurines and statuettes. Some baskets, some vases; throughout the house. Artwork and books of course, but that’s different. It’s all just stuff, I know. But stories. They have stories.

What do you collect?

Great visit to Out in the Garden Nursery in Molal

Great visit to Out in the Garden Nursery in Molalla, Oregon, just outside Portland. Owner Carol was great fun sharing her property, plants and stories and girlfriend and I took home some fun shade plants for our own gardens. Highly recommend a trip out!

Happy #sundayfunday ! Taking a break for a cup of dark, rich Mexican hot sipping chocolate on this beautiful sunny day. I heat it in a teeny two-handled stainless steel pot bought just for this purpose in San Jose del Cabo. And I pour it into my little naked clay cup from Laughin Gnome Pottery (formerly Daily Bird Pottery) in Port Townsend, Washington..

Fav brands of chocolate? @coracaochocolate @tazachocolate and @clatiermx (nope, not sponsored; I just like!)

What could be better than blowing bubbles on a sunny day on the Oregon coast? Well, maybe sharing an oldie but goodie kiddo photo. 💦
