it’s a new day

It’s almost like a birthday.  I started this blog as a creative outlet, a place to store recipes, collaborate, and conspire with other creative folks.  Oh the people I’ve met and the places I’ve seen since coming here have been wonderful.  I’ve made some incredible friends.  The friends here inspire me to take better photos,Continue reading “it’s a new day”

looking back at bliss

I leave for work when it’s dark.  When I get home it’s almost dark.  Tonight it is raining so hard, we are all concerned about getting washed away.  So, going out to take pictures is not high on my priority list. What does my bliss look like?! I really had to give this some thought.  IContinue reading “looking back at bliss”

WPC: Optimistic

I dug in the archives for this photo challenge. While we are freezing our tushies off, it’s a great time for some optimism and smiles. Because I am always taking pictures of everything that catches my eye I had quite a few to chose from. I hope these make you giggle as much as theyContinue reading “WPC: Optimistic”

I know I’ve gone on long enough about how much I miss my community in Portland. Slowly but surely, I’m building a new community in Memphis.  Additionally, I’m building a community online. I’ve written before about the community I’ve connected with on WordPress. As part of my rejuvenation of myself and my blog, I amContinue reading “Our Community”

We Rebuilt Together

This past Saturday was Rebuilding Together. One Saturday a year, all across the country and across Portland, we are doing home repair for low income elderly and disabled. I’ve told you about my baking endeavors to prepare for this day (more here and here), but what I didn’t tell you about were the countless hoursContinue reading “We Rebuilt Together”

is THIS real?

I went out last night with a new friend. A real, live person. We talked and really laughed out loud. The only time we pulled out our phones were to put events on our calendars or to make a note of some new place we needed to see or eat. This fun evening, coupled withContinue reading “is THIS real?”

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

Yes, I know it’s now Monday, Monday, Monday, but yesterday was such a good day it will fuel me through the week. One of the things my friends and I have come to enjoy are the brunches and dinners I regularly host.  Mostly potluck.  There are no “rules” or set menus.  Just make whatever hasContinue reading “Sunday, Sunday, Sunday”

Bambi and Dating

Bambi grew up with his forest friends helping him through life. Eventually he finds Faline. I do hope that someday I’ll find a nice fella that isn’t psycho, overly emotional, broke, clingy, needy, bi-sexual, hairy, just out of his only relationship, allergic to air, doesn’t drink, is a vegetarian, has (or wants) a passel ofContinue reading “Bambi and Dating”
