If not us, who? If now now, when? ~ JFK Hello dear followers! It's been a little while since I've posted. The Spring was a bit intense at my day job which sadly left little room for much of anything else besides eating (no cooking), sleeping, some kitty pets and snuggles with the British Hubby.…Read more New Beginnings

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
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
Celebrating Life: Let it Bee
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
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
