Thanksgiving is this next week and my house is a total disaster. Rather than start cleaning, I started printing & making a larger mess. It had been several weeks since last working on this block and I determined that wasn’t good. Especially after I started cutting away more. But other art projects needed my attentionContinue reading “A little Emma time”

Welcome October!
September is gone. Scratched from the calendar with joyful glee! What a hellish month that was. Sorry, but the details will not make it to this page. October is now upon us with the feeling of fall. Rain. I’ve forgotten how noisy it can be, especially when one is out walking dogs in the woods.Continue reading “Welcome October!”
Jensen Arctic Museum Annual Salmon Bake
I’m sure hoping to tempt a few friends to attend! The salmon is always great.
South Sister Hike
The last time I attempted to climb South Sister was way back in the late 70’s. I was probably 8 or 9 and my family hiked into Green Lake and camped out with friends. During the night a horrible storm passed through bringing rain, sleet & snow. By morning everything was white and clouded in.Continue reading “South Sister Hike”
Family Gathering for Evelyn
Warning: A NON ART related posting! It has been a year and a half since the death of my mother Evelyn and finally time to say good bye as a family. On Sunday we gathered at the top of the old McKenzie pass at Dee Wright observatory for the occasion. Close to the mountains sheContinue reading “Family Gathering for Evelyn”
and then there were three
Warning to all: this is a non-art post. A bit more personal today. This morning I went through my normal chores, which have been thrown off due to the July schedule. The cockatiels were on the list, but I didn’t check them until after 11am. When I entered, they were fairly quiet. Then I noticedContinue reading “and then there were three”
A day off
Here I thought my Monday would be a good day to regain energy for jumping into the new week of creating. Instead, I spent most of my morning and afternoon worrying about George’s vet report, which turned up nothing. Somehow I also managed to sleep very little last night due to him. 2:45am meds isn’tContinue reading “A day off”
Seizures Weekend with George
Many of you who know me realize I have a great passion for my pets. Our vets shake their heads at how old our critters reach before their date with death. A geriatric household is the norm. The cockatiels are all over 20 yrs at this point. The past two dogs, a basset hound andContinue reading “Seizures Weekend with George”
Sleep Deprivation and Demon Dogs
This morning started early due to “Demon Dog” Moby jumping on the bed. 70 lbs of leaping dog is something you can’t miss, especially when it’s on your sided. Nudging, pushing, standing over the top of me staring, stepping all over my legs, the Beast was making his point loud and clear. Hungry! Food please?!Continue reading “Sleep Deprivation and Demon Dogs”
Flight Cancelation
My husband Dave has been in Tasmania & Australia for the past 10 days for business. I was a bit shocked to find his Facebook message this morning telling about canceled flights due to volcanic ash. He’s pulling my leg, right? No. The folks in Chile know all too much about their current eruption, spectacularContinue reading “Flight Cancelation”
