"Well, it's Groundhog Day...again..." Phil Connors from Groundhog Day Wait a second. It's February 3rd. Or is it? I meant to post this yesterday, but I ran out of time. I figured I could post a day later (if it is indeed a day later.) If the groundhog wakes and sees his shadow, we have…Read more It’s Groundhog Day!

Conspiracy: Full Moons Make You Crazy
The moon puts on an elegant show, different every time in shape, colour and nuance. ~ Arthur Smith Earlier this week, it was the Super Blue Blood Moon. This is the one and only time this will happen in my life time. It's quite a shame it was completely cloudy at my house when I…Read more Conspiracy: Full Moons Make You Crazy
Saturday Night Endeavors
We're only here for a short time. The land out lives us all. This weekend, the British Hubby and I took a break from our award winning movie quest to catch up on one of my all time favorite British TV shows, Endeavour. This is a spin-off/prequel to Morse and Inspector Lewis. I'm sure you're…Read more Saturday Night Endeavors
Unexpected Outings
Way down deep, we’re all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them. – Jim Davis I had a post mostly prepared for tonight, but then the unexpected happened. I arrived home from the day job to be greeted by two out of three kitties. Since I was an hour…Read more Unexpected Outings
The Joy of Cooking
If you're afraid of butter, use cream. ~ Julia Child Typically, the British Hubby and I share cooking responsibilities. Often times, he'll handle the protein portion while I make the veggies/side dish. Unfortunately, the British hubby's day job is keeping him far too busy the past week. This means I have KP (kitchen patrol) duty…Read more The Joy of Cooking
Conspiracy: Did Martians Come to Japan?
"Gravy for the brain, Jerry." ~ Conspiracy Theory Apparently, there is a growing movement that believes Japan was visited by Martians centuries ago. This riveting story explains in more details. Naturally, I had to see for myself on Google Mars if the coordinates 6° 3'57.07"N 92° 4'13.22"E exist. Indeed they do not! What is Google trying…Read more Conspiracy: Did Martians Come to Japan?
Making a Change
I've become fascinated by the idea that it's really achievable to make two or three small improvements in a week and by the end of the year, it's 150 improvements. ~ Darrell Hammond This is the time of year when many people make improvements to their life. It's a new year and time for self reflection.…Read more Making a Change
The First Completed Wip of 2018
What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other? ~ Roger Bannister This past holiday season, I felt the need to cast on numerous projects for other people. Normally, I don't knit that many gifts and the ones I do tackle I try to work on all year long.…Read more The First Completed Wip of 2018
Dinner and a Movie
They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom. ~ Braveheart This weekend, we continued our quest to watch all the movies that won an Oscar for Best Picture. The next movie on our list was The Broadway Melody from 1928, but we had a semi difficult time finding a copy of this…Read more Dinner and a Movie
Where the Road Ends
Life is adventure, not predicament. ~ James Broughton We're having a brief dry spell this weekend. Last week, we had almost three inches of rain. Since it was dry and sunny today, we decided to take Ulysses out for the first ride in 2018. First, the British Hubby had to do a little maintenance work to…Read more Where the Road Ends
