The Edward Gorey House
I love Edward Gorey. I’ve talked about him before today. I’m happy to report that we made the pilgrimage to his house, The Edward Gorey Museum. It was a thrill to stand in his former home, to marvel at his many drawings and works on view. We spent several hours there, and we even ate […]

Day Trip to NYC
For Christmas, my darling bought me the experience (and shoes) of custom made sandals. COVID-19 was in full roar, so we had to postpone our trips to Jutta Neuman’s shop in NYC. We went up for an initial consultation, and they traced my feet. We made a weekend of it, and had a wonderful time.…

California Dreaming
Over a 1300 mile+ drive, my darling and I explored northern California. Neil, if you’re reading this, I apologize for not being able to visit due to time constraints. We started in Sacramento, then attended a memorial service in McArthur, way up north. We drove down to Eureka, then on to Ft. Bragg, then San…
