On to the Rose City Tomorrow it’s off to the Pacific Northwest for some good Portland time. Blogging will be sporadic over the next ten days or so. I think it’s a good time to get out of here as the high humidity and the 90 degree temperatures have left me soaked in my own …

And Then The Sky Turned Green An apocalyptic storm blew through town yesterday, leaving an alarming path of destruction in its wake. Our garden looks like Sasquatch decided to play Dance Dance Revolution on our tomatoes and baby lettuce. Down the road two trees were felled, one on each side of the street. They both …
Bad Skelton With total disregard for the high standing moral code that we Skelton’s are known to live by, I am saddened to bring to you this bizarre and tragic story from the Star Tribune. Seems troubled Jeffrey Skelton took the law into his own hands yesterday and murdered the guy his wife was having …
Reception Fashion Going through the first round of photos from our party of June 3rd, I was struck by the number of great garments people wore. I decided to make a little swatch collage here to document some of the colors and patterns that were present.

Sunday night’s always a tuff night to rally for a show, especially when the show doesn’t even start till 11:45pm. You …
Blaavanshuk, Jylland Strange happiness found in these delightful Scandinavian postcards that I’ve been picking up at random antique shops. I like how, in the first image, the little boy gets to wear those sharp stylish shorts on what looks to be a beautiful warm day up in the alps, and the little girl looks like …
We Came To Party A whirlwind weekend! Team Skelton would like to extend a big thank you to everyone who came out to the big party this last Friday at Solera. We had a great time and we hope you did too. The whole evening is almost one insane blur of activity. I remember some …
What A Difference A Day Makes Oh man! How excited was I, when, sitting out on the back porch drinking my morning coffee, I look out over the yard and discover that overnight the Irises have all come to bloom. Just like that. Could there be a better way to start the day? Was it …
