The BIG 5-0!

Authors: Susan


This bad boy turns 50 today...


 

Mr. IT still loves to build, race, surf, 
and figure things out. 
He made me believe in love again, and for that 
I will be forever grateful.

♥ Happy Birthday Mark! ♥

May

Authors: Susan


I love May.
Spring is lurking, the peonies are going to bloom, the outdoor weekend concerts start on Memorial Day in Bend-and no more heat running all night long.
Both hubby and I have birthdays this month-his is the big 50! (SHHHH)
While May is a fun month, April is always difficult for me.
My late hubby Daz died suddenly on 4/20/07, at...

Kayaking Through Life

Authors: Susan

Kayaking is a good life-metaphor, don't you think? 

The water can be calm or turbulent, fast moving or meandering, clear or murky. The kayak you attempt to control can be high-end or basic, made from anything that will float, but the better materials will last longer and be able to take the rough patches without...

Hoppy Easter 2013

Our Easter miracle? It's a 70 degree weekend!

Waiting

Authors: Susan

Waiting is a hard thing for me-I like to get things rolling once I have a plan.
We put our house up for sale last September.
Now, we're listing the house with a different company, lowering our
( already a good) price, and continuing on with little tune-ups and tweaks.
The back door glass cracked after our really warm day/bitter cold...

Why we love beautiful things

Authors: Susan

This article was recently published in the NYT. 
 am fascinated with how much mathematics plays such role in aesthetics. 
Personally, I am no math guru, ( that's my hubby) but I have always loved Jackson Pollack's work-and now I may have a definitive answer as to "why!"  
I'd like to see these principles...

Finale ala Downton

Authors: Susan

Downton Abbey's finale is tonight!
 Enjoy this: a bit frenetic, but fun just the same.

I am not sure if they are filming season four yet, but I know they are renewed through season six. Yea!
When Downton really does have its finale, I will be throwing a "Veddy Bri-ish" watch party to commemorate. Proper tea and all the rest. Maybe...
