The weather could not have been worse, but I still

The weather could not have been worse, but I still strolled some of my old Seattle waterfront haunts, including Pike’s. Ha! Even the photos aren’t great because I had to hold my umbrella as well! The waterfront was one big expanse of gray fog and you could barely see the ferries and ships. But I still enjoyed seeing what I could and walking the Overlook.

So after Kalama, I enjoyed a day with my daughter

So after Kalama, I enjoyed a day with my daughter and SIL and kiddos. Time with my grandbabies and the family’s menagerie of fur-babies; They took me out to eat and there was chocolate cake afterwards. Life is good. (family catch-up photos soon…)

The next morning, it was on to Seattle! Im so hapoy that I’ll get to see two different friends this trip. But first solo day to see the Ai Wei Wei exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum.

Beyond fabulous! Wei Wei is only a few years older than I am, and I’ve been stunned for a very long time by the breath of his work and the importance of his work. Yes, my visit to China adds to how I’m drawn by what he has to say.

And it’s also very true that the things he’s talking about are too close for comfort with what we’re seeing here.

Traveling up the #i-5 from #portland, I stopped at

Traveling up the #i-5 from #portland, I stopped at the Kalama Mountain Timber Market in Kalama, Washington.

Great artisan market in a beautiful building right on the Columbia river. Lots of natural beams and natural woods and black; so well done. It was a sunny day and a lot of people were out walking the promenade along the riverfront.

I went to see the restored Chief Lelooska totem pole, which is housed inside. This totem was carved from a 700 year old Western red cedar.

Mold-a-Rama is alive and going strong at Chicago’s Field Museum!

I so loved these as a kid and kept a few from my collection for many MANY years. And it was a major thrill for me when I got my kids to see these too! Definitely one of my favorite souvenirs of all time😜

Hi all! Well, it’s a hella long flight from #pdx to #dfw to #eze, but I made it to Buenos Aires and I’ve been having a fabulous time exploring! What a dynamic, beautiful, fascinating city this is! So very rich in energy, art, music, dance, architecture, food, diverse barrios, and all else that makes up a great city to get to know. There is so much to share!

I haven’t been clamming this summer, or the past

I haven’t been clamming this summer, or the past few actually. This last beach walk , I watched as all these people made their exodus to the waterfront. Shovels and clam guns and plastic bags and nets, and water boots and hip waders..

The sun was bright and warm this long weekend; won

The sun was bright and warm this long weekend; wonderful for long walks at low tides at the tidal pool, for exploring the estuary, for walking the Promenade, for the many making the pilgrimage out at low tides with clam guns, shovels, bags and buckets.

We took the road to Hana and made a great day of it.

At the Garden of Eden, a privately owned botanical garden, I fell in love with the variety of bamboo—and the sounds of the bamboo swaying in the breeze.

The trip isn’t over, but without a doubt a highlight for us all.

Four of us took the road to Hana yesterday and mad

Four of us took the road to Hana yesterday and made a great day of it. I’ve been before with my kids when they were quite young. This trip, my wonderful DIL did the driving, for which I’m verrry grateful because that is so not my thing although I’ve taken out of town visitors on enough of our Oregon roads.
.
We made numerous little park and trail and waterfall stops and visited the Garden of Eden, a privately owned botanical garden my son had heard good things about.

The trip isn’t over, but without a doubt a highlight for us all.
