Saturday was my mom’s big 50th bash. My step-dad Bill and I spent the whole day working on it. Earlier this month when we got together to plan everything and I rattled off lists of things we were going to get, make, do, etc. he asked if he needed to do anything. I get a …

Plants and Berries
Yesterday I finally made it to Portland again, it had been months I think since I’d driven up. Trying to save gas and all (though Bj doesn’t believe me). I met Tex at the cool nursery she works at. I realized I didn’t get very good overview shots of the nursery, I was too focused …
Playing with the camera
Just a little bit. At dinner on Monday Bj contemplates what to eat: and pretending he’s on wine library TV: Hehehe. I love that guy. I figured out that my main problem with the camera (or me using it), is that I have a trouble with light metering. I’m thinking about renting a separate one …
Free Association Wednesday
Discombobulated I like this idea of having someone from the week before choose the word, I don’t think I would have come up with that! Thanks Lauren 🙂 So this is a …

Free Association Wednesday
scab Okay it’s Free Association Wednesday, the return. I loved these, not quite sure why I stopped. Basically you comment with the first thing that pops into your head. For …
It’s not the same with out my thrifting buddy
Today I had to go to an estate sale. I say I had to because it was blocks from my house, and run by some good, honest, not over-charging people. But Sciarrino was at work so I had to fly solo. I just do not find it as fun at all. Half the fun is …

Back in the thrifting groove
On Saturday Sciarrino and I got out our garage sale purses, baskets, and treats to keep us going through the morning and grabbed the local paper. We headed out into the big bad world of estate, garage, and yard sales. In case you haven’t heard this is the coldest spring in the last thirty years, …
