During the day, I don't believe in ghosts. At night I'm a little more openminded. It's the last week of October. Last week was really cold in the PNW. I need to keep knitting on these mitts. My knitted spooky themed apparel is seriously lacking. Day 7 means I'm official over half way done! I…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 7

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. The next movies on our Bond quest were A View to Kill and The Living Daylights. A View to Kill started out mid 80's…Read more A View to Kill and Living Daylights
Celebrating Life: Cowl-o-ween
We were together. I forget the rest. ~ Walt Whitman It's Friday again! The days, weeks and months are starting to blur together. What I will cherish is all this amazing time I'm getting to spend with my British Hubby, the love of my life. He puts up with all my grumpy moods and quirky…Read more Celebrating Life: Cowl-o-ween
Working from Home: Weeks 33 and 34
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. ~ William Shakespeare Another two weeks have gone past. Where does the time go? Maybe as the days get shorter and shorter, time seems to move faster? I know logically that makes no sense, and it's really about how we perceive time.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 33 and 34
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 6
Let life surprise you! I started the week by saying I was going to try to power through my Haunted Handwarmers. That was my intention yesterday. Then the clouds parted and the sun came out. I decided a long walk with a friend in the afternoon sunshine was really what I needed most. Not to…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 6
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 5
There is a child in everyone of us who is still a trick or treater looking for a brightly light front porch. ~ Robert Brault The days are getting shorter and shorter. In northern parts of the country, snow is expected this week. We try to wait until November 1 to turn on our heat…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 5
Celebrating Life: Classic Monster Movies
"Listen to them--the children of the night. What music they make!" Bram Stoker It's Friday again. I don't know about you, but this week has been a bit of a blur. Celebrating life every Friday has become a constant source of stability for the British Hubby and myself. Our hunter gather brains are still wired…Read more Celebrating Life: Classic Monster Movies
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 4
Where there is no imagination there is no horror. ~ Arthur Conon Doyle This week the air has been chilly, and my lawn is now covered in downed leaves and tree limbs. Autumnal rain storms are one of my favorite times to watch scary movies. This year, I'm adding in Fright Club to the fun.…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 4
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
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 3
Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story. ~ Mason Cooley I have to chuckle at the universe's sense of humor. The days I have plenty of time for knitting on my Haunted Handwarmers, there hasn't been much knitting required. Like Day 3 which was labeled: Surprise! Day 3 did indeed include a surprise package.…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 3
