The Last Marigold
https://thelastmarigold.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/342
June 18, 2014. Today was a pretty hard day. Once, when I was 6 or so, my parents and I found ourselves driving along side of Mike, both cars headed from Duvall into Seattle. We probably waived hello, and my dad sped ahead onto the freeway. Mike followed closely behind us, and a few seconds later we heard loud shouting. “Eeemmmmaaaaaa,” he was screaming out the window. “Emmmmmmmaaaaaa! 8221; And in his left hand, he was holding a giant silver cutlass (. If I would promise to rent. 4 thoughts on “. You hav...

Shadows & Light: Opening Night
http://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2008/09/opening-night.html
Every picture has its shadows, and it has some source of light." - Joni Mitchell. Friday, September 19, 2008. When we first sat down, I noticed an older woman in front of us, quite beautiful and dressed in a beaded white jacket. She looked familiar, but I couldn’t figure out who she was. She was eating a huge Hershey bar. Then her companion, introducing her to someone, gave her name: Celeste Holm. So during the show I was partly distracted by the fact that I was two seats away from a Hollywood legend.

Shadows & Light: Museum of Mid-Century Graphics
http://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2015/08/museum-of-mid-century-graphics.html
Every picture has its shadows, and it has some source of light." - Joni Mitchell. Saturday, August 1, 2015. Museum of Mid-Century Graphics. My mom's house is a vast repository of mid-century graphic design. Everywhere I turn I'm faced with old, whimsical packages like this 1970 envelope from Eckerd Drugs. Before TG&Y we had Neisner's and Grant's - both long gone. Isn't it funny that the box has long outlasted the shoes? Twenty cents for a box of cloves? It's like a museum around here! Now you have me wor...

Shadows & Light: Shipping the Ancestors Elsewhere
http://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2015/08/shipping-ancestors-elsewhere.html
Every picture has its shadows, and it has some source of light." - Joni Mitchell. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Shipping the Ancestors Elsewhere. I have a doozy of a cold, probably thanks to that airplane. I was sneezing all day yesterday and it looks like today will be more of the same. Great. I've been sharing my germs with my brother and his family, who are visiting from Jacksonville this weekend. We've been celebrating my older niece's 9th birthday, which of course involved two. My niece has once again.

Shadows & Light: Flower Plaques
http://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2015/08/flower-plaques.html
Every picture has its shadows, and it has some source of light." - Joni Mitchell. Friday, August 7, 2015. When I was five years old, I made these plaques, based on some I saw in my arts and crafts classes at summer camp. As I recall, I came home and hammered together my own versions using stuff I found in the garage and yard. My mom was so impressed with them she took a picture of me:. OMGi love them. You did a great job! August 7, 2015 at 2:30 PM. August 7, 2015 at 3:39 PM. August 7, 2015 at 4:47 PM.

Shadows & Light: Water, Water Everywhere
http://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2015/08/water-water-everywhere.html
Every picture has its shadows, and it has some source of light." - Joni Mitchell. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Water, Water Everywhere. Once again, we had a crazy amount of rain yesterday - six inches. In the area where my dad lives. This (above) was the scene not too far from his house. A lake in someone's front yard! We've had so much rainfall that the water has nowhere to go. The ground is saturated. Try to pass the street above. See that disabled white car? Someone made a bad decision. I only painted my ...

Jean Stone on Martha's Vineyard. Confessions of a WashAshore. Skip to primary content. August 11, 2016. The fabulous new MV license plates. Have arrived, and I couldn’t be happier! With an early bird opportunity to select my favorite number (yup, this one is mine, no doubt about it), and a small donation to Martha’s Vineyard Community Services (the place that keeps the island ticking), over 1,000 applications had been received, which was more than enough for the special state-issued plates. The young wom...

Jean Stone on Martha's Vineyard. Confessions of a WashAshore. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Tag Archives: Martha’s Vineyard. August 18, 2016. The other day I needed to do some reading research for a new book I’m writing. It was hot inside my little house, yet I didn’t like the thought of closing myself into an air-conditioned space at the library on such a gorgeous day. And then I thought about the Harbor View Hotel. But that’s a different story.). August 11, 2016. With an early bir...

Shadows & Light: The Missing Printer Cable, Part 3
http://shadowsteve.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-missing-printer-cable-part-3.html
Every picture has its shadows, and it has some source of light." - Joni Mitchell. Saturday, May 16, 2015. The Missing Printer Cable, Part 3. I finally finished "Shantaram" yesterday, all 930 pages. I read in a long sprint through lunch and the afternoon, whenever I could grab a moment, so I wouldn't have to lug the book home again. I am so happy to be done with it. I feel like a great weight has been lifted. Being the key word. Remember hearing from me, so at least I made some kind of impression. Arrived...
