B is for baking beautiful bread. Another Friday has rolled around. While the election news or lack of results, has made this week feel twice as long. We're still celebrating life here! It's no surprise I love making, eating and toasting bread. I love that warm yeasty aroma as dough proofs and bakes. It's full…Read more Celebrating Life: Kiss My Keto

Haunted Handwarmers: Day 10
Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around. ~ Henry David Thoreau The weather is turning colder, and it's election day here in the States. I'ld like to say we're going to focus on something other than the results starting tomorrow, but that may not be the reality. To keep my mind off…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 10
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 8
"Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn, and cauldron boil." William Shakespeare This is Halloween. This is Halloween. Okay, I maybe watching The Nightmare Before Christmas today just so I could sing that song all weekend long! In my defense, I was singing the song before I watched the movie. It's just such a catchy…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 8
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 7
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.

For Your Eyes Only
"Goodbye, Mr. Bond. I trust you had a pleasant trip." As major movie releases are starting to be postponed into 2021, we debated about taking a mini respite in our Bond movie marathon. Burt, our tuxedo and most 007 kitty, thought that would be offensive to tuxedo kitties world wide so we're continuing on with…Read more For Your Eyes Only
Moonraker
He's on his last leg, sir. ~ Money Penny Now that we're firmly into autumn, we debated this weekend if we should forgo the Bond movie for Monster Mayhem. This week, we decided to start with a Bond film and finish with Monster Mayhem provided there was time for a double feature. Movie 11 is…Read more Moonraker
The Spy Who Loved Me
He just dropped in for a quick bite. ~ Bond I've been trying to write this post for the past few days, but with the passing of Ruther Bader Ginsburg it just felt unimportant. Then I tried to write a post honoring RBG, but I couldn't find the right words to do it justice either…Read more The Spy Who Loved Me
Behind Blue Eyes
In a ball of yarn is the potential to make a dream that you have come true. ~ Melanie Falick I love knitting blankets and afghans and cozy lap coverings. I also love it when there are fun blanket KALs where we all knit the same pattern and cheer each other on. I also know…Read more Behind Blue Eyes
The Man with the Golden Gun
I sure am, boy! Ever hear of Evel Knievel? ~ Bond This Friday night between smoky conditions making it unhealthy to be outside and COVID, the only thing left was watching movies inside. It was perfect for Bond movie number nine The Man with a Golden Gun. This movie aired in 1974. You can still…Read more The Man with the Golden Gun
