well Tuesday was a quiet day, relatively;
L. and I made it to the Rest Rocks with Izel
but then Wednesday after collecting the mail we settled in with Dean
for a zoom Luz had scheduled with lawyers to explore artists’ legacies
after which Christine brought down dinner for the six of us.
Thursday, a day of creek and studios,
ended on the early side up at Bill and Muriel’s where a larger
even more lavish spread and gathering [eleven, then] brought much of Libre together.
Friday, the last day for our Canadian visitants, which began with Cosmos demolishing one of
my very spendy trekking poles while chasing after Jon Barr’s car, culminated with a wildly
abundant Meat Feast – steak and elk meatballs* – perpetrated by John and Luz, topped off with
Linda’s soon-to-be-famous Drunken Pumpkin Pie followed by rapt attention to Luz’s
“Linny Infinity” eightieth birthday composition for his mom before addressing the many dishes
and sated belated bedtimes. The next morning, Day of No Kings [seven million strong!]
across the land, was also the Day of Goodbyes and Departures for Izel, Christine and Luz
and depart they did, reaching Vancouver some ten hours later.
Wotta lotta week it was, and what a lot it meant to everyone.
*and not only the copious meats; grilled vegetables, gigantic artichokes, salads…
Sublime
The Light! From the window!
So much happiness. Izel is adorable.
Heartwarming to see and read about. Happy Birthday, Linda!!
May I say as a person w/out portfolio but a face in the faceless interent crowd how beautiful and soul nourshing it is to have recently found this site.
Ineffably sublime.
Thank you.

Thank you, Gary. Glad to hear it…
Michael and Linda,
We appreciate Michael:s always informative and colorful descriptions of your travels and at home adventures. You are busy folk with full lives. But we stay at homes are not envious because we love you, appreciating you including us via email in your active life together. We hope that before too long we
will be able to spread our aging wings and fly somewhere we haven’t been.
In the meantime, we depend upon you for vicarious travel. Clea does visit often. It’s our good fortune that her work brings her west. fairly. often. She is with us now. And it’s warm with bright blue sky. Could be worse. No real complaints.
😉
Fondly, Paul and Ann
Lucky you are to have Clea visit so often…as you may have noticed our sightings of Luz and company are quite infrequent….and quite event-filled [as last week] when they do appear. All for the good when it happens…
love to you guys
M
