Sunday, June 6, 2010. Tom is now on his favorite slack key website Taropatch.net. His user name is, appropriately, Ku i keleawe. Which is Hawaiian for 'metalsmith'. I like to sit in his lap while he plays because the guitar sounds better close up. He created TIKI MAN and HULA SISTAH after returning from Aloha Music Camp on the Big Island last February.

Monday, September 6, 2010. Indian Grinding Stone Cradle, Anniversary Party and LEICA MAN. More than 50 years ago, Millie's late husband found this Indian grinding stone along the. Banks of The Deschutes River in eastern Oregon. Millie wanted to somehow 'capture' the pieces so that the stone would, once again, appear whole. Millie's farm cats liked the stone in its new cradle. Boyd, in particular, enjoyed sitting inside the stone. Margaret told me that I almost got another little brother. Friends Steve an...

Saturday, July 31, 2010. Life Without Mittens, My New Junior Associate and Steve's Leica Man. Margaret and Tom told me that sadness and joy often happen at the same time. I guess they are right. Last Tuesday, my sister Mittens passed away. It was a very sad day for all of us. Aka Mitts and Mittasaur). Tom made a special gravemarker for Mitts' grave. Mittens had really big feet. With 7 toes on her front paws, she could move kitty litter in our box like a steam shovel! I know he's around here somewhere.

Wednesday, August 4, 2010. Came home last week. Tom told me this story. Last year, Tom created the Bigfoot Guitar. To serve as a tangible reminder of the good things that happen when a community comes together to support a cause. When local musican Rick Hulett, a.k.a. "Bigfoot", was diagnosed with cancer last year, he e-mailed his friends/fellow musicians telling them about his diagnosis. He concluded his note with the words. More music, less bullshit! Well, he did! And, one would think that that would b...

Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Welcome to my 'BOB CAM'. Tom gave me camera lessons so I could take photos of his work and Margaret's gardens from my point of view. For two years, I watched Tom and Margaret from across the creek and dreamed about being a part of a human family. It was clear to me that they loved their two kitties Katushka and Mittens. I lived in an old shed by myself and had to catch mice for dinner. It was cold, wet and lonesome. I longed to be part of their family. Peanut Butter and Jellyfish'.
