Think of it as an Inspiration!

Posted on July 4, 2011 by Eve

I have always admired people who think of a project, and then sit down and do it. I don’t operate that way at all – which may explain a lot of things about my life, when I come to think of it. But for me, it goes like this: I think of a project. I ponder it, and see it already done, and enjoy the imaginary fruits of having done… Continue reading

We are about finished with the clearing out of the Grapevine business files, I have established a nice little office at my house at the Cobre Loma, and with increased leisure I am more free to watch life around me. And so here are the latest doings of my dog Tuffy…… Continue reading

The final days are here– and I thank Bud Anderson, who shared some of them with us, for this photograph.

Happy Trails and God Bless

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Eve

Well, dear friends, the time has come for me to say goodbye to Grapevine Canyon Ranch. It hardly seems possible that the place where I spent the last 30 years of my life will no longer be my first waking thought of every morning, and the last sleepy thought at night.

I have come to this… Continue reading

First Flight

Posted on February 27, 2011 by Eve

Writing the last blog it occurred to me that perhaps some of you may want to know more of my background, which was, if I say so I, rather varied.

I was born in Europe, but spent my formative and young years first in a boarding school in the Himalayas of British India, then in Karachi, Pakistan, where I had to learn the language of Urdu, then in Bombay… Continue reading

SHADES OF MY BLUE HEIFER…

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Eve

A tribute to a friend….

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Eve

I imagine that by now you are all convinced that I have either died and gone to heaven or left for balmy climates elsewhere! So sorry for the long pause – and, not as an excuse, but as a reason, I want to tell you that the pause was entirely due to the fact that I am now the lucky occupant of not one, but two chairs at Grapevine –… Continue reading

Happy Christmas

Merry Christmas from Grapevine Canyon Ranch

I guess that Christmas is a very good time to review your life and to be grateful for what you have, rather than dwelling on what you don’t have.
