Spring?

I had been using a 15 year-old headshot! Jacqui Otoño made a new one for me. It was slightly windy, as you can see at left.

Making art at our museum.

A great app that helps those of us with phone phobia be in touch with our Senators and Representatives.

A good book.

Have you seen these beautiful stamps? I love them so much that I sent them to my two favorite fisher-persons.

A card from Anne Marguerite.

More wonderful stamps. I think I came to this party too late. They would have made such perfect Christmas stamps.

December

Ready to hang stars out front with David.

We discovered a cat-proof Christmas tree.

Neighbors we ran into on our Christmas Day walk. That’s Qunicy and her dog, Xena Warrior Princess over there on the right. This is Lauren above (right) with her friend from Puerto Rico. Tom gave me 2 gift certificates for appointments with Lauren, Bodyworker Extraordinaire.

When I see Quincy I always ask her what she’s reading. This time she gushed over Jon Fosse’s Septology and Ali Smith’s How To Be Both. Oh. My. God. I downloaded Septology and discovered that it’s comprised of one long sentence that runs through seven volumes.

I’ve become a regular at Chatter.

Happy New Year! We celebrated with Gruet, pistachios, and whipped cream from a can.

Old Friends

Can you believe I was out of copies of my older books? Just ordered more, including the hardcover Mimi’s with ribbons!

We woke up to this!

We built a snowman for Dorene & Don, and the next day we received this text from Dorene (below, far right).

I Loved January
