Prompt of the day target. Target. Is it sad to hat Target stores are the first thing that comes to mind. Oh this material world. I have/ had an unusual relationship with places like Target.

Cataract Meanderings
The prompt this morning is cataract. Of course the obvious definition of the word is the eye condition. I learned from reading another blog that cataract mean some sort of water fall or current. But in my mind, I keep trying to make cataract mean boat. And I am not sure why. A google search … Continue reading Cataract Meanderings
Stopping for Lunch
While out and about, running errands, Scott and I decided to stop for a lunch date, our energy depleted. We rarely do that, and even more rarely do we stop at The Landing, and if we DO go to the Landing, we usually go upstairs to the pub, not the diner downstairs. But today we … Continue reading Stopping for Lunch
Sunday Breakfast
Today I woke up to the smell of coffee and waffles. Lovely and familiar, bringing back memories of Sunday breakfasts over the years. Now that the kids are gone we don't really make big productions anymore, but Grace is here for a bit and Scott is making us a nice breakfast. I have so many … Continue reading Sunday Breakfast
How to Spend a Saturday Night
Wearable Art. A gluey, sticky, feathery, glittery event. For my non-island, non-Alaska, sunny-clime friends, Wearable Art is a huge event here in our rainy little town. For months artists hunker down in the dark and the damp and create Wearable Art. Ideas are born when the theme is announced, dumpster diving and attic raiding begin. … Continue reading How to Spend a Saturday Night

Pay attention to the details, the sounds, the smells, the conversations, yet when the last kid got on the plane, the last box of ornaments was tucked in the attic and my new Roomba aggressively buzzing around, scooping up stray pine needles, I sat down to write and … Continue reading It’s All in the Details.
Herons and Humpbacks Whales, Oh My!
Thought I would post a few videos from my weekend. Friday while driving home from work I spotted a tell-tale cluster of seagulls so pulled over and sure enough caught some bubble feeding action! Walking the dog on the docks this am saw this heron. When it made that sound I almost dropped my … Continue reading Herons and Humpbacks Whales, Oh My!
The Last Time
When my daughter was about eight, my husband said to me, "I don't remember the last time she rode on my shoulders." She was too big now. "I didn't realize the last time I carried her would be the LAST time." There are a lot of things like that. A lot of "last times" that … Continue reading The Last Time
Candy Corn
I did it. I succumbed to the lure of candy corn. I broke down and bought a bag. There is just something lovely about candy corn. It is sweet. Sickly sweet. Almost too sweet. There is a soft chewiness and I eat them one by one. Yellow bottom first, orange middle second and finish with … Continue reading Candy Corn
A Birthday Visit
I awoke this morning to the literal pitter-pat of little feet. I haven't heard that in a long, long time. You see, It is my birthday today. The best present so far is a weekend visit from my daughter, who came to visit bringing my 16 month old grandson. They are spending the weekend. I … Continue reading A Birthday Visit
