Visiting SueAnn

Last week, Ursala was reminiscing about a childhood spent in the late 80’s and 90’s with the Lager family out at their home past 8-mile North Douglas road.  Our families grew up together.   Last Monday, as we were sightseeing near Outer Point, on our way back to town we invited ourselves to SueAnn and Gene Randall’s home.  We were treated to a houseful of treasures.  I had no intentions of taking photos for this blog until seeing all the pottery SueAnn had hand-built.  I first met SueAnn in 1971; she had just moved up from Seattle.  Over the years we not only shared motherhood, we also shared similar interests in art, music and performance; I  always felt SueAnn was a natural-born artist.  She’s talented in designing and sewing costumes, creating soft sculptures and puppets – in fact she used to perform puppet shows locally – she is also a calligraphy artist and an illustrator.  Over the past 10 years or so, she has gotten into pottery which I had not seen until now.  Below are a few photos of some of her pottery in her house and in her garden, her collection of  miniature treasures, the discoveries of collections I had not ever seen, and a few natural amenities like fresh chicken eggs (that we got to bring home)!
