For many months now I’ve been taking pictures of stuff–life, my cooking, interesting-weird-things–always thinking, “ooh! I can post it tonight” but night is my only knitting time and… there went that idea. Instead, I think I’d like to start something different. I’d like to post a gallery of these shots on Sunday.

My friend Dave Garret is a force of nature. I met him while watching and working on my husband’s plays lo’ these many moons ago. Well, now Dave turned his eye to film making. Even more fun for me, the movie stars my friend from...
