My husband and I left yesterday afternoon on a road trip across the country…..destination? Washington DC. As I was driving my husband took a photo of this happy camper as we were passing. Shortly after we left Boise, Idaho where we had spent the night, we pulled off the road so I could take a [...]

I have been gone for a week visiting grandchildren and, now, missing them so much. I have other loves waiting for me, though, and that is the plus side of walking into the house. Cats do not greet you like dogs, but the subtlety is something to treasure especially when you crawl into bed at [...]
A Remembrance

This morning my sweet kitty, Lauren passed away. She had been ailing for the last several months with renal failure. I feel her loss so deeply and want to remember her in this space, to pay tribute to her life and her remarkable presence in our lives. I adopted her from the animal shelter five [...]

We are taking care of little Lincoln while his mommy is on a business trip until Thursday. What a great holiday we had with family and so many great memories. I will be back in the new year when the house is quiet and my thoughts more focused. Jeanette will be glad to get back [...]
Helping

I made a unplanned trip to LA yesterday to help my youngest daughter, Jeanette, because she has what she thinks is a stress fracture on her shin. She has been unable to walk or drive her car or even carry her baby around. Her pain has been pretty excruciating. She is trying to work from [...]

The power of being. A love affair that stays and nurtures.
Miles and Miles

I drove 750 miles today and have about 380 miles more to go tomorrow, and I will be back in Portland again with my three kitties and husband. It should be rainy and feeling a little like fall. I am ready to get the house and garden ready for cold weather. But where did I [...]
I will be home soon. Just relishing the moments that pass all too quickly. I want to freeze a few of these moments in time just so I can return to them and remember how sweet and nourishing they were as I move more slowly into the other world of aging and transition.
Our Lincoln

I seem to have lost track of time. My husband and I drove back to Mendocino today from LA. But let me go back in time when this all started. Jeanette was to be induced on Tuesday, the 3rd. We had assumed that it would be at a civilized hour, but her doctor had her [...]
The Getty Museum

Jeanette’s baby was due a week ago today on the 26th of July, so on Saturday Jeanette generously offered to take me to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. I have wanted to go there ever since it opened a number of years ago. I had been to the original site, what they term “The [...]
