Our stuff.

Posted by Denise Mira on Friday, March 9, 2012, In : Life. 

I want a rocking chair. I need one to rock my baby granddaughter when she’s here. I find it delightful to spend time snuggling and rocking her just before or after her nap or when she’s spending the night and about to go to bed.

So, when I saw signs for an estate sale, I thought “why not? They might have a rocker for sale.”

I spent a bit of time locating the house, then found cars lined up on both sides of the street and cross streets. Estate sales are obvio...

Hubbs and my debut...

Posted by Denise Mira on Saturday, February 18, 2012, In : Life. 
Today hubbs and I will be in downtown Seattle for the screening of the short film about Albert Einstein, entitled, Light and Black, produced and directed in Tacoma, Washington by Brian Parker. 8 directors prepared and filmed movies over the last 3 months that they'll be showcasing this afternoon. It's fun to be the first audience to get the opportunity to view the work of these passionate creators, all together in one place, before they're sent off to the whole wide world.

We were asked...

So, a couple of weeks ago we were planning to go to a show - a lineup of musical bands that was gonna go late. Hubby thought we should take a taxi so there'd be no worries about parking, late-night traffic, etc. etc. A small group of friends thought that was a great idea and decided to join us as they were planning to attend the show too.

Invisible people everywhere.

Today I received a card in the mail. It was actually a card thanking me for the card I had sent them a couple of weeks ago when they'd suffered a loss and were on my heart.

When I read her appreciation for the words I'd written to her, my eyes welled up with tears. I had been affirmed and it brightened my whole day - my Whole Wide World.

I was reminded of how many people walk about, right next to us, feeling lost in the crowd, needing affirmation, encouragement, praise, appreciation, whatever y...

Pruned. Ugh.

Posted by Denise Mira on Sunday, January 22, 2012, In : Life. 
A few short weeks ago we saw our neighbor outside, hacking away at the beautiful tree situated on the corner where our lots meet. (In this pic it's the tree sitting directly behind the potted patio tree) He and his friend just kept on clipping, sawing, trimming, until we began to wonder if they were taking it allll the way down...

I was a little nervous because it's a tree that makes a statement in the spring and summer, so full and lush with a carpet of leaves colored a deep maroon. It would ...
