That's because of this kitchen, which will be done soon. Lots of family stuff, lots of back & forth to SoCal with camera in tow and no time for pics. It sometimes comes down to being in the moment or taking a picture of the moment and missing it. Can't remember the last time I … Continue reading Not a writing/photography summer

Almost done with kitchen
Or what I did with my summer vacation, besides keep leaving so I wouldn't have to face the daunting paint job. I have 2 more coats to go on the doors before I'm done. Picked out floors yesterday & still waiting on Lowes for the backsplash. They said installed in a week, it's been almost … Continue reading Almost done with kitchen
Just call me “Fernando”
What an interesting travel day, a first time for this one. To get to El Paso, it was your usual 2 flight trip with no delays. Got the window seats both times, short flights. From Phoenix to El Paso the woman in the middle seat not only took both arm rests (which she should, sucky … Continue reading Just call me “Fernando”
Chill’in @ SJC
On my way to El Paso to then hop in a rental car for Las Cruces, New Mexico. San Jose seemed to be the cheapest flight, not the smartest choice of airports from where I live. My H dropped me off way too early to avoid the nightmare commuter traffic down here. With hours to … Continue reading Chill’in @ SJC
Petrified of HS mini-reunion
With all this painting, Dr.'s appointments & general running around errands since I've been back I haven't had much time to write. This summer is flying by, just got a FB invite about a childhood friend going into town for a week planning a mini-girl reunion. Can't believe I'm on that list!! We were friends … Continue reading Petrified of HS mini-reunion
Late Start
Totally wiped out in a good way. I must have slept 10 hours last night after painting then going to look at wedding dresses with my DIL for the actual wedding in Turkey. She looked beautiful!! Can't wait to get the dress and have it altered for her. The woman who was helping us was … Continue reading Late Start
Floating & Houses, Bend
The price of poker has gone up here in the housing market, at least what people are asking for their houses. I'm afraid the housing rush from CA to Bend was years ago. There was a house right by the State Parks in kind of a track home place that looked cool, had to wonder … Continue reading Floating & Houses, Bend
The flight – Bay Area to Bend, Oregon
Honestly, there was a point where I was ready to just hop in the car and drive the 8 hours thinking it wasn't going to happen! I gave myself plenty of time to do that, the hotel was pre-paid, there's always a Plan B. Plenty of sleep the night before, had breakfast then threw some … Continue reading The flight – Bay Area to Bend, Oregon
Getting ready for Bend
This will be the first time flying up there solo, see how it goes?? The other day I went to practice touch & goes in the club plane - something I really haven't done for awhile. Last month we flew to Torrance where the clouds broke up right at the runway and I was able … Continue reading Getting ready for Bend
Pacing myself
This has been the summer of the kitchen so far, my work day starts up again after I write this. Instead of writing this un-read blog, I did submit a few articles to AOPA magazine and Latitude 38 for sailing. Of course, haven't heard back from either. It takes awhile, they get a lot of … Continue reading Pacing myself
