Changing Places
All week I’ve been moving pictures off walls and hauling things to Good will. Rainy days do this to me. But how can you give away your grandmother’s cut glass candy dish? Or your mother’s oval plate with the robin on … Continue reading
Today
It rained today, after thunder and lightening put me to sleep last night. I love snuggling under the covers, hiding my head, when the thunder sounds like it’s just hit the house, when I know it hasn’t, of course. Went … Continue reading

My Favorite Cougs
No doubt about it, we’re Cougar fans. Phil and wife Diane both graduated from WSU and their lovely daughters, Jamie and Tate, are also at WSU. There’s no way getting around it – I am grateful to WSU, Pullman, and … Continue reading
Making Pillows
It’s true. I love making pillows, and especially on rainy days. Now that Fall is officially upon us, I am thinking ahead to the stash of fabrics I’ve accumulated over the summer, with bright peonies and yellow sunflowers and rust … Continue reading
Fall Leaves in Millwood
Who wouldn’t love Fall leaves like this? We live a few blocks north of the small town of Millwood, a small town, with a wonderful small park, quaint shops (really, just a few), and gingerbread houses, and these magnificent trees. Every September and … Continue reading

Smallest Vase
