We have visitors this evening. Our grandkids are here and we are both a little surprised just how tired we both are after an afternoon and evening with little Nico. Luna is easy, you can talk with her about whatever she wants to do. But Mr. Nico at 18 months is pure motion. You look…

Baby Driver: Definitely a Film Worth Seeing
Last night, Ray and I met our friend David Bode for dinner and a movie. As always, the conversation was spirited though I must admit I was a little pooped after the early morning Breakfast Club and the three-hour consecration of our new Episcopal BishopCoadjutor for the Diocese of Los Angeles (which was lovely, by the…
Resting Up
Today was a recovery day. Ray and I are a bit road-weary from the heat, the work, and the travel over the past two weeks. I have done almost nothing that required movement out of my armchair except to participate in making lunch. (Yes, Jim Adams, we enjoyed a couple of your delicious home-grown tomatoes.)…
Back In LA!
I am sitting in my den in Los Angeles with my feet up and the fan going. Ray and I arrived home about an hour ago after stopping in Pasadena to see Liz, Ron, Sarah, Gregorio, Luna and Nico. Rachael and Ariel were not there, but I expect I will see them soon. It was…
Heading West after Being at “Stinky’s” This Morning
We are in Moriarty, New Mexico for the night. This is 38 miles east of Albuquerque. We had hoped to get a bit farther today, but we’re doing fine. We should arrive in LA by late tomorrow afternoon. We might have left Sherman earlier, but in our ongoing efforts at clean-up of our environs, we…
A Happy Two Days
I have had a wonderful time here in Texas despite not getting to have our annual neighborhood garage sale. The truth is it is not the garage sale that I want but the chance instead to hang out and visit with my neighbors and any old friends who may wander by. Alas, we are thinking…
A Trip to the Dallas Museum of Art To See a Wonderful Exhibition
Yesterday we took the day off and went to the Dallas Museum of Art. What else do you do when the rain has forced you to cancel your garage sale? The exhibition was fantastic. It was entitled Mexico 1900 – 1950: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Jose Clemente Orozco, and the Avant-Garde. I was struck with…
Our Garage Sale: Cancelled Due to Upcoming Rain
Hi all, Sorry for being so out of touch. The truth is that we are working our little tushes to the bone clearing out junk, junk and more junk. This is a good feeling, but because of the Texas summer heat, Ray and I have ended up pooping out early in the evening all week….
Our Neighborhood Garage Sale, THIS Saturday!
Come one, come all. We here on North Crockett in Sherman, Texas will be having our annual neighborhood garage sale this Saturday in our front yard at 716 North Crockett. As in the past, at least five families will be providing bargains on antiques, collectibles, clothing, toys, a few appliances, books, and goodies of all sorts….
Good Bye, Dimmit House
Today we signed the papers to sell what we call the “Dimmit” house (named in deference to Pauline Dimmit, one of the early long-term owners). This 1915 Dutch Colonial is located directly across the street from our home on North Crockett Street in Sherman, Texas. While Ray and I are both delighted that we’ve sold…
