Thank you very much. I was out walking my rat and lost my way. ~ Diamonds are Forever This Friday was movie number 7 in our 007 adventure. Sean Connery is back in Diamonds are Forever. Time is marching on. You can feel the 70's vibe in the theme song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwbEuzJCnqI It was a little…Read more Diamonds are Forever

Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
The man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest. ~ Henry David Thoreau Remember when the smallest things would make our day as a child? Like getting a sticker on homework. Okay, sure I'm old enough when most of my school work was done on paper, and we had scratch-n-sniff stickers. Maybe it was chasing…Read more Celebrating Life: Ducks and Scottie Dogs
Working from Home: Week 26
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some come to clear your path... Another week has passed. It's the last full week of August. When I started doing these posts, I never imagined I would be wfh for 10 weeks. Hitting double digits seemed monumental. Now, here we are at almost 6 months mostly…Read more Working from Home: Week 26
Five Skeins Full
Knitting keeps me from unraveling. I love knitting blankets. I love giving knitted blankets. Much like quilts, knitted blankets are comforting, personal and homey. It's a traveling hug from it's creator. My love for knitted blankets explains why I have four large afghans on the go. Okay, one is sort of hibernating while I finish…Read more Five Skeins Full

Celebrating Life with Burt
Celebrate life. To truly live, celebrate each day of life. Let each day be a festival of joy. It's Friday again! How did that happen? In some ways time moves faster wfh, and in other ways it feels slower. No matter how I perceive time to be passing, it's still important to celebrate life. Did…Read more Celebrating Life with Burt
You Only Live Twice
Happiness is a mysterious thing, to be found somewhere between too little and too much. ~ Ruskin Bond The past few days have been extremely hot in the PNW. I'm blaming the heat on my slow post about this movie. The next Bond movie featured is You Only Live Twice. To me that implies Bond…Read more You Only Live Twice
Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. ~ Langston Hughes In the PNW, we don't often get rain in July and August. When we do, it's often very localized. On Thursday, we had a proper rain shower. You can just make out the rain in…Read more Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Working from Home: Week 23
Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. ~ Winston Churchill The past week, I've seen about a dozen deer roam through our back yard and neighborhood. Mostly have been doe, but we did spot two bucks. We also saw an amazing rust colored bobcat. I now considered it a bad day if I didn't…Read more Working from Home: Week 23
The Vast of Night and Goldfinger
Fay Crocker: So the train travels between two thousand and five thousand miles per hour in these tubes, all across the country. That’s how it’s all going to be. It’s called vacuum tube transportation. And all these tubes, they crisscross all of the world, so we’re going to sit in cars that run through the tubes,…Read more The Vast of Night and Goldfinger
