Rainy Day & Square #30

March 30, 2010 at 9:23 am by Claudia

Yesterday, today and tomorrow: rain. Today is windy, cold and rainy – a sinus-headachey kind of day. Begone, headache! The dogs are bored, I’m irritable – sounds charming here at the cottage, doesn’t it?

My Dad sent this photo of a coyote. Yes, a coyote that was right outside his door in Florida.


Great photo, Dad! I’m glad your new kittens stay indoors. I wouldn’t want them near this guy. My sister lives in the same area and says she sometimes sees them walking down the street.

I wanted to share a photo of my father-in-law:


This was taken last year while I was out in San Diego. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to spend time with him. I miss you, Lee.

Square #30:


A white wicker rocker on my porch.

Have a great day.

Happy Birthday, Daddy

September 28, 2009 at 9:13 am by Claudia


Happy Birthday, Dad! My Dad is 86 years young today. This photo is of Daddy and I on a visit to meet Santa. Look at my Dad’s snappy hat! What a handsome guy my Dad is….I look pretty bundled up, don’t I? Our visits to Santa at our local department store, Muirheads, were always magical and we got to ride on a little train, too. I love this photo.

Wish I could be there with you, Daddy – I love you.

Update on Mom

January 24, 2009 at 1:51 pm by Claudia

Mom is home from the hospital as of yesterday. She is on medication to help regulate her blood pressure and is on the mend. Now if only my Dad could get some relief from his back pain…he threw it out while trying to clean the microwave! Oh, you two…what am I going to do with you?

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
