As part of my Year 2 project under the title of 'Methods and Approaches' I produced a series of images illustrating the walk I did where I lived as a child. Capturing certain aspects of the walk such as the wall outside my house, I shot this project in the perspective of a child both in medium format and digital. This image used Medium Format iso400

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved a $44.5 M loan to Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard to develop a new Skilled Nursing Residence for 70 island elders. This new Navigator skilled nursing home, which will be built in Edgartown, will be the successor to the Windemere nursing home currently located on the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital campus in Oak Bluffs.
Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard is a 501c3 non-profit selected by Martha’s Vineyard Hospital to develop a replacement nursing home on the island. Navigator Homes has been working with the island officials since 2020 to advance the planning and design of this project.
Paddy Moore, a key advocate for elders on Martha’s Vineyard, and a Navigator Board member, stated: “The USDA loan is an exciting event in the lives of Martha’s Vineyard’s older adults and their families, and has been a long time coming. Building on work done by Healthy Aging MV, Navigator Homes has been working in partnership with MV Hospital to find the best way to care for elders when they can no longer care for themselves; this project is for all those elders who helped build the Vineyard community into what it is today. The new Green House model nursing home will enable Island elders to receive care on-island, rather than going off-island when the existing Windemere closes. The USDA loan brings our ten-year dream significantly closer to reality and gives us reason for great celebration!”
The USDA loan application and approval process has been underway for the better part of two years. There is a national competition for the USDA Community Facility Funds. The approved funds for the Martha’s Vineyard project were the result of a combined effort of islanders, the USDA Rural Development Southern New England Office (USDA-RD serving CT, MA & RI), led by USDA-RD Southern New England State Director Scott Soares, and Massachusetts federal and state elected officials. Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, and Massachusetts Representatives Bill Keating and Jim McGovern played key roles in advocating for this much needed project for the Martha’s Vineyard elders.
“Martha’s Vineyard’s reputation as a vacation destination often clouds the reality that it is nonetheless comprised of a Tribal and rural communities with multi-generational families who support a year-round economy.” said Scott Soares. “We are proud of this investment of a $36 million direct loan and an $8.5 million guaranteed loan that will support the island’s community members and the community characteristics that make Martha’s Vineyard so unique.”
Senator Ed Markey remarked that “Martha’s Vineyard elders deserve quality care that is both available and accessible on the island. The USDA loan announced today is welcome news and a vital sign that long term care for the Vineyard’s elders will continue uninterrupted, with new, innovative residences. I am proud of our shared efforts to make this vision a reality for our elders.”
Congressman Bill Keating added his congratulations, noting, “I am excited to see that the hard work of the team at Navigator Homes of Martha’s Vineyard has been recognized by the USDA. This $44.5 million dollar loan from the USDA represents a significant step forward for this vital project that will ensure that nursing home care can continue on-island for future generations, and I look forward to continuing to support this project as it moves forward.”
Navigator Homes is seeking donations to complete this project. The USDA funding provides $44.5 M for the project. Navigator has received over $2.3 M in private donations to date. The Navigator campaign still needs an additional $2.9 M, to draw down on the USDA loan. Pending regulatory approvals, construction will begin in 2023 and open in 2024.

This is the view from my bedroom window. When I woke up this morning the yellow of the flowers really stood out in the morning light. It was far more dramatic than I have been able to capture in this photograph.

exTexAnn (formerly Desert Rose) and I met for lunch downtown and then went on a photo shoot. The assignment seemed daunting as it required boldness and more than a little chuztpah but once we explained the assignment, everyone, as in every single person, was more than happy to pose. I did have to ask people to hold off on giving their names until we took their photo because once the hand was extended and the name given...well...strangers no more.
BTW...this photo was taken today not yesterday as the EXIF indicates. Also, this photo was not cropped.

Ruby and Marita worked with all of the 7th graders at McClure Middle School for 3 days to create "mavericks" (school mascot) out of discarded plastic stuff (attached with telephone wire to a black plastic mesh that was purchased at the Seattle RE Store). There were 5 classes (about 130 students total), so 5 horses were created for display in the main entry way. 5/15 - 5/17/2013 (installation should happen in June)
Who painted the sky?
As I got off the train at Upper Hutt this evening (on my way to the hairdresser) I saw someone taking a photo of the sky. I looked up and saw this.

Day 8-okay so i was being watched by coworkers so i was pressed for time and thus, got this crappy pic of myself. anyway, wanted to get a post-seminar pic of me in THE MET. was pretty stocked that our luncheon went well. :D
Something Around The House.... well mostly at the moment that's chaos, things stuffed in every spare space until I can figure out where Santa thought it was all going to go. Yeah ho-ho-ho.
I don't have any fancy ornaments. I think I used to once.....
I do have lovingly sculptured ornaments my children made when they were ickle.
These are but'n'bens, two room crofts. They made them when they were studying the Highland Clearances at primary school. My daughter wove the tartan mat.
In a couple of years or so I'll have three of these :)
