" I enjoy a spirited ride as much as the next girl." ~ Golden Eye This past week was challenging for the British Hubby and I. As challenging as it was, we both believe life is meant to be challenging. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. A dance party, hot shower, keto pizza and…Read more Golden Eye

Friday the 13th Part 1 and Part 2
"You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday." ~ Friday the 13th Many people fear Friday the 13th. Did you know Alfred Hitchcock was born on Friday, August 13, 1899? He was destined to produce great horror, drama and suspense movies. For a month to have a Friday the 13th, it must…Read more Friday the 13th Part 1 and Part 2

A View to Kill and Living Daylights
"Some of the best KGB shots are women." I'm doubling up on Bond movies this week. Last week I ran out of time to get in a Friday night movie recap.

Octopussy
"We do have one lead, Minister. Property of a Lady." ~ Bond After last week's slightly disappointing Bond movie, I wasn't exactly looking forward to Friday movie night. Either Bond movie number 12 was better, or I've lowered my standards. Octopussy was better than I expected. This movie was made in 1983. Neither the British…Read more Octopussy

Three Wheeled Picnic
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. Wow, where did the week go? I had planned to post this earlier in the week, but the day job has kept me busy.

Working from Home: Week 20
Responsibility is the price of greatness. ~ Winston Churchill Another week has passed. I can't quite believe I've been primarily working from home for the past 20 weeks. With cases and deaths continuing to rise in the US, it is hard to believe things will change at least in this state any time soon. Each…Read more Working from Home: Week 20
Working from Home: Weeks 16 and 17
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~ Winston Churchill I missed last week's WFH post. Now that life is starting to take a new shape, we're getting busier again. I must admit we like the slower pace of life. I'm…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 16 and 17
