The Machinist.

So I guess this is how I work- I bombard this template with a handful of my days- when I have the time or the gumption. And here we are- one of those moments is upon us…..

We went to an estate sale on saturday morning.

I love garage sales and estate sales- there is always something to find, it’s a mini adventure every week. People’s stuff is inevitably attached to their lives- and especially in the case of estate sales there’s always a naggingly uncomfortable reminder that this person was here- with their lives and their families and their things

and now

they are not.

And you so rudely happen upon their underwear drawer, and it just so happens its all for sale.

Shrug. Sigh. Weird.

Now, not to reduce a person’s life to what they’ve accumulated or to assume that i might know them because I have seen their bathroom- but there IS such a story waiting to be unfurled walking amongst a stranger’s physical remnants. It is hallowed ground- really.

This pencil had outlived it’s owner….

The estate sale was at the shop of a machinist- a tool and dye guy (huge machines and sharp pieces of metal strewn all over the floor- industrial foot stools and parts- lots of bits).

The Machine.

Somebody thinks they’re reeeeeaaaalllllly funny.

Night Time in Portlandia.

Trying out new tricks with my wee bitty camera. Overpass- I-5. Late.

One of my favorite David Lynch moments:

Be Good or Be Gone.

Exotica.

Awkward.

Awkward Family Photos…..

I grabbed this link off of Boing Boing- (I am sure you’ve all seen it by now).

I had to extend the sharing potential on this one, it’s just too good to be missed.

Mother’s Day Hideout.

Arch Cape. 

I spent my mother’s day exploring the coast with Ewan.

We jumped over rocky, barnacled terrain- finding sea creatures and adventure.

Ewan used his awesome little-boy eye to find me the perfect mother’s day gift:

We’ve really had a couple of great, sleepy days (just North of Manzanita). 

Food and fire and marshmallows and starfish. And naps. 

*Thanks Goo and Fran- GREAT BATHTUB.

SERIOUSLY.
