Views of the Neighborhood – Guest Post by Mae Clair
I know it is a little odd to see a guest post on the day I usually run a Views of the Neighborhood. I’ve done this for two reasons. 1. My friend Mae Clair is launching a new book and I want to help spread the word. 2. I am in Phoenix this weekend with […]
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Your Favorite Word.”
It is Saturday Stream of Consciousness time again. This weeks prompt is an unusual one. Linda Hill says we should choose our favorite word and then write a post about it. I think the challenge here is selecting a word that is a favorite and appropriate to share on a family blog. That eliminates my […]
Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
Another week has passed. I have often wondered if we all consciously attempt to put in the best week possible. By that I mean do we continually strive to fill the week with the kind of accomplishments that we will be proud to say we finished. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Bailey
“I’ll bet I can make you blink, Lucy.” “You know short stuff I have been in staring contests with cats and walked away a winner.” “Yeah but you’ve never been under the control of Super Frenchie.” “Tell you what. Bailey has been dying to play a game. Go do a staring contest with her. She’s […]
Wednesday Story Day – AKA – Hump Day
It is Wednesday Story Day again. Last week we were in the fortune-telling shop when Micki Lee told Larry Dunfee that she had a discussion with his deceased wife, Gloria.

Views of the Neighborhood – Art Fair
Yesterday was the kind of day that we locals like to get away from the beach. Here is a shot straight out from the cart over at eight AM. Pretty nice. Here is a photo looking south from the cart over at eight AM. A little congested but nice. Same straight out view as before […]
Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy’s First Swim
“Hey, Dad. What’s Mom doing?” “She is setting up the dog pool.” “Dog pool? What is a dog pool? “Go see for yourself.” “Lucy, Bailey.” “What short stuff?” “What is this thing anyway?” “It’s a place to get cool.” “Cool? How’s that?” “You know, you ask a lot of questions, Twiggy. See I’m in the […]
