Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. ~ Jamie Lyn I'm preparing for travel to the Midwest. Right now it's actually warmer in the PNW than it is where my family lives. Every time I travel, the hardest decision is what knitting to bring. Do I take one big project or several smaller…Read more How many is too many?
Cats
Chasing Your Own Tail
Time spent with a cat is never wasted. ~ Colette All weekend, I've been craving carbs and junk food. The British Hubby and I have been sugar free and carb free for several months now. It's been going so well that we've started running again. I recently purchased Low-Carb Cravings. Today we tested the French…Read more Chasing Your Own Tail
Celebrating Socks
It's going to be a knock your socks off thing. ~ Brandon Reintjes It's the weekend! Today is another scorcher. It's 94 degrees here (that's 34.4 in Celsius). The British Hubby is on his way home from an unexpected business trip. The kitties and I are celebrating life here with iced tea and socks! First,…Read more Celebrating Socks
Excessive Sunshine
Some sunshine is good for the soul, but I always make sure I wear a big hat. ~ Miranda Kerr I have a big hat, but I think this week there just might be too much sunshine. I certainly could do without the excessive heat. It doesn't look like there's a break in the heatwave…Read more Excessive Sunshine
The First Signs of Autumn
Each moment of the year has its own beauty. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson This week the PNW is going to have triple digit heat indexes with excessive heat warnings and fire danger. I can tell your jealous of this weather forecast. Apparently, the maple tree in our front yard is paying no attention to the…Read more The First Signs of Autumn
The Mist
I like people that smile when it's raining. This morning I woke up to overcast skies. The weather forecast predicted cooler temps, but it was almost chilly. When I walked outside, I was pleasantly surprised by mist. Yes, mist. Summers in the PNW typically don't see much or any precipitation. Your grass turns brown and…Read more The Mist
Game of Bowls
Cats are like music, it's foolish to try to explain their worth to those who don't appreciate them. Around the holidays, I often treat the kitties with some Rad Cat in their all time favorite flavor, lamb. Naturally, I decided that was a better treat for July 4th, Jaws day, than purchasing fireworks. The kitties…Read more Game of Bowls
Ulysses at Speed
Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use. ~ Charles M Schulz Today, our Ulysses adventure took us at top speed. It's exhilarating! Our goal was to get in some freeway speeds to simulate what a longer road trip would be like. We're still doing shorter journeys to…Read more Ulysses at Speed
Shark Attack!
"You go in the cage. Cage goes in the water. Shark’s in the water." Quint We celebrate our favorite July 4th movie, Jaws, the entire month of July. This year, I'm especially excited to join in the Shark Bite II KAL. The KAL kicks off on July 23. Since I decided to pass on Stage…Read more Shark Attack!
Historical Picnic
Wilderness is not a luxury but necessity of the human spirit. ~Edward Abbey Over the weekend, the British Hubby and I had our first outdoor adventure on Ulysses. We only made a few wrong turns before finding our destination, the historical Coal Creek. Here you can see the remaining foundation from the Coal Creek Hotel that…Read more Historical Picnic
