My mother was one swell looking dame. I think she was around 18 yo here. She would have been 102 yo today. There was a time when I thought she might make it to 100+ years old. She was tough as nails and an outrageous flirt. If Betty White had been a religious Southern Baptist...that's Mama.

This week I have been doing finishing work on the tapestries I cut off and I began this one. I'm playing with the colors and light outlining. It will probably be a sample. I've been working on this abstracted design of a train platform in Edinburghfor nearly a year now. #tapestry #weaving #handwoven

I was in an LA restaurant decades ago and the waiters were struggling through singing “Happy Birthday” to a patron.

Out of nowhere Chuck Mangione stood up playing a a badass birthday riff on his horn, he then played a few notes of “Feels So Good” and the crowd went nuts.

2) getting our house packed up, moved, and ready to sell. Neither of us are in good physical (or mental, in my case) shape. Ay yi yi. Maybe I'm ahead of myself but this seems like a great opportunity. I'm already anxious about the whole thing and I haven't even replied to the email.
