The cold ain't the weather. That's death approaching. ~ 30 Days of Night Friday night is movie night for the British Hubby and I. You may recall on July 13, we started watching the numerous Godzilla movies. This weekend was King Kong vs. Godzilla. It's never really addressed how King Kong gets back…Read more King Kong vs. Godzilla

Cheep and Cheerful
It takes no more time to see the good side of life than to see the bad. ~ Jimmy Buffett Last weekend, the British Hubby and I were invited to a bbq. Our host introduced us to what she calls, "Cheap and Cheerful." They are bottles of wine around $10.00 that put a smile on…Read more Cheep and Cheerful
Hiking Curiosities
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt. ~John Muir This is week four of my new workout plan. I'm back to running in the mornings. I'm a bit out of shape. To give my body a chance to repair, I'm running every other day and going…Read more Hiking Curiosities
Hottest July on Record
If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back? ~ Steven Wright Currently, July is on track to be the hottest record in the Seattle area in the past 120 years. It's so hot Gracie's fur is starting to felt together in places. We've been brushing her and cutting out bad spots. Now she…Read more Hottest July on Record
Semi Finals Disappointment
Life is like a camera: focus on what's important, capture the good times, and develop from the negatives. What a heartbreaking game if your an English fan. A goal in the first five minutes of play then several missed opportunities in the first half to allow Croatia to come back and win it in extra…Read more Semi Finals Disappointment
Quarter Finals Celebration
Hope is the only thing stronger than fear. The British Hubby and I recovered from the fright of our lives yesterday just in time to see England advance to the semi-finals in World Cup play. Given how exhausted we were, I'm glad I set the alarm so we didn't sleep through the match. Both goals…Read more Quarter Finals Celebration
A Stein Full of Tea
We can do life alone, but it's more fun if we do it together. Traditionally steins are used for beer or lager, but sometimes one just needs a stein full of tea. For the past decade, my mom has been sending me a box of my old items she wants out of the house. Items…Read more A Stein Full of Tea
World Cup Mania
The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning. ~ Pele The World Cup started on Thursday. I LOVE THE WORLD CUP! Futball is played all over the world. It's face passed. It's exciting. The fans travel all over the world to support their national team. I love it! I don't even need…Read more World Cup Mania
Rising Tide
The smallest oceans still make big waves. The British Hubby and I spent last weekend by the seaside. One day we watched the tide come in for hours. In the morning the tide was out. Look at how much beach is exposed. We saw it creep up on these big rocks. And reclaim them back into the ocean.…Read more Rising Tide
Escape to Camano Island
Jobs fill your pockets, but adventure fills your soul. My day job keeps me crazy busy this time of year. That makes it difficult for the British Hubby and I to get in any outdoor adventures. We were long over due for a Ulysses escape. The night before I started a new knit. 1500 yards of…Read more Escape to Camano Island
