A Great iPad Desktop for You
Steve shot this sunset photo a couple of days ago using his old iPhone X. The weather had stormed all day until just before sunset. We were both surprised at this unexpected beauty. I am using it as my iPad desktop photo. Feel free to download it and use it as your tablet desktop photo.

Crepuscular Light
I recently encountered this phrase and was unfamiliar with it. Apparently it refers to light rays, beams of light emanating from a bright source through enough atmospheric haze or debris as to cause those beautiful rays of light: crepuscular light.
Crepuscular rays or “God rays” are sunbeams that originate when the sun is below the horizon, during twilighthours.[3] Crepuscular rays… Continue reading
Sir Sean Connery, RIP
How quickly time goes by. I had no idea Sean Connery was 90 years old! I always liked his acting and the roles he would choose to play. I found this anecdote about him, from Wikipedia, interesting:
Connery’s first job was as a milkman in Edinburgh with St. Cuthbert’s Co-operative Society.[22] In 2009, Connery recalled a conversation in a taxi:When… Continue reading

Here are some photos of the tree that literally defies gravity. I think it’s an old growth Sitka Spruce, but I’m not 100% certain. Tree hugging Steve is in the… Continue reading
The Oregon Beaches along the Ocean
Literally, every evening we walk along the beach around sunset. It’s our moment of zen as we wait for the big move in day.
Though it’s now mid-August, the wind is always gusting with the hint of a bracing chill even through Steve’s jacket and my fleece vest.
Yes. We love this.

We Don’t Live Here Anymore
In our efforts to sell our home, we have consulted with a guru stager. She knows what people want to see when shopping for a home. Her job is to make the house look as ideal as possible for the largest market share based on research.
Interestingly to me, the way you stage a house is very much different from… Continue reading
