Sometimes you have to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next. It's the last week in February. It's been cold and dark. My body is tired. It's gearing up for Spring allergy season. On Wednesday, I felt like Friday would never get here, but it did! Typically, I…Read more Celebrating Life: Let it Bee

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
Celebrating Life: Sunshine
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not. Remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. ~ Epicurus Today was supposed to be cloudy, gray and rainy all day. I was completely surprised to wake up to sunshine! That's right full on sunshine. The…Read more Celebrating Life: Sunshine
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
Craftvent Day 14
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." ~ Arthur C. Clarke This week, we've been watching an approaching winter storm develop. I love knitting while I'm layered in various knitting garments to keep warm. That's good since I have plenty of hats, scarves and…Read more Craftvent Day 14
Celebrating Life: Beauty and the Box
In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take. In February, I challenged myself to look for the beauty that surrounds me every day. It isn't always easy to look for the beauty in a windstorm or multiple days without sunshine. This week I'm celebrating life with the amazing mountain view I managed…Read more Celebrating Life: Beauty and the Box
Working from Home: Weeks 49 and 50
Life is very fleeting. Seize the moments when they arise. February can be a hard time in the PNW. It's cold. It's dark. Many days we don't see the sun. It's also a hopeful time. The days are getting longer. Spring feels right around the corner. These past few weeks have been mostly cold with…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 49 and 50
Casino Royale
"I'm the money." "Every penny of it." ~ Casino Royale It's been awhile since I've posted about our Friday night movie nights. In truth, we took a little hiatus from our Bond movie marathon. We're back with just a handful of Bond movies remaining. Casino Royale is the next title. This is the first movie…Read more Casino Royale
