Science is magic that works. ~ Kurt Vonnegut This past week there was a federal mandate that all preschool through grade 12 educational employees qualify for COVID-19 vaccines. Within 12 hours of this mandate, my insurance provider had their online services updated, and I qualified for an e-ticket. I was then able to schedule an…Read more Getting Vaccinated: The First Dose

Kong Double Feature
I wish I had left Kong alone on the island. We continued our Kong movie marathon last Friday with the next two Kong movies. The British Hubby and I both thought we had not seen all the King Kong movies, but the first three Kong movies so far have been reruns for us. The Son…Read more Kong Double Feature
Craftvent: Day 16
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. ~ Mae West Have you been wondering what's happening with my craftvent scarves? Each day is taking longer and longer to post about. I will admit as Spring approaches, it's hard to keep up steam on my winter scarves. Maybe that's the real reason crafters have…Read more Craftvent: Day 16
Celebrating Life: Grilling
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you planet. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson We're starting to see Spring like weather emerge here in the PNW. That means the 10 day forecast isn't reliable. Sometimes even the 2 day forecast is wrong. You learn to dress in layers and…Read more Celebrating Life: Grilling
One Year Ago
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them. ~ Dalai Lama On March 2, 2020, I packed up my work items for what I thought would be a few weeks at home. I was sort of excited about the thought of getting…Read more One Year Ago
Beauty Killed the Beast
Kong the eighth wonder of the world! This week we took a hiatus from our Bond marathon to change gears for a bit. In preparation for Godzilla vs. Kong in March, we're watching all the King Kong movies. The original King Kong movie was made in 1933. It started with a five minute overture. The…Read more Beauty Killed the Beast
Craftvent Day 15
Strive not to be of success, but rather to be of value. ~ Albert Einstein In theory, surprise days should give me a chance to catch up. Yet, I still only seem to get out one craftvent email a week. It looks like my last Craftvent post was 11 days ago, eek! Either the knitting…Read more Craftvent Day 15
Quantum of Solace
"When someone says, 'We're every where.' It's usually hyperbole." ~ M As an introvert married to a hermit crab (aka the British Hubby), we typically love winter storms that cancel all our social activities for a few days and force us to work from home. Last weekend, was our first major snow storm since the…Read more Quantum of Solace
Working from Home: Week 51
He who is not satisfied with a little is satisfied with nothing. ~ Diogenes As the number continues to climb up, it seems hard to believe we're still working from home. And yet, here we are still working from home. The British Hubby will most likely continue to work from home at least part time…Read more Working from Home: Week 51
St. Valentine’s Day Jaffa Cake
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age. —Anais Nin Yesterday was St. Valentine's Day. Traditionally, I've always believed this holiday was rather commercial. I don't want my affection determined by the flower, candy, greeting card, jewelry and restaurant industries attempting to make money. Since the appearance…Read more St. Valentine’s Day Jaffa Cake
