Not a Motorcycle, but just as exciting, the Miata sees the SW…
It was a holiday of indifference. Not that I don’t enjoy the company of my two sons, but without the grandboys, Christmas just didn’t seem like Christmas. Gary, who decided to make it difficult for all other husbands, gifted a 2010 Miata to me for my being “a very good girl”. He had two mandatory…

I must have been a very good girl… 😉
I just received my Christmas present from the world’s most amazing husband. I should have guessed it, but enough time has passed since he inquired about my MX5 passion.

When is a photographic image no longer representative of life?
An altered postcard I found while traveling in Idaho. As an artist using photoshop, I am able to adjust a sunset, enhance a seascape, or allow a subject a quick 10 lbs weight loss, but knowing all this, how far do I allow myself to go before the adjustment is no longer the viewed reality?…

A Happy Thanksgiving and good eats day to all!!
No Turducken this year… This will be the first year that I haven’t cooked a big ol’ turkey dinner. It’s just Gary and me and we’re eating Italian food and going to a movie. It’s gonna be a bit of a quiet year and I’m still not sure how I feel about that, but this…

I lost my father…11.20.1925 – 5.24.2013
A Eulogy for my father… Carson City is a much quieter place now. Our father, John Bettencourt Williams, who livened up this western town with his shenanigans, has passed on to another place that needed his special touch. He was the last of eight wild and lively Portuguese children with the surname of Williams and…
