I've never met a strong person with an easy past. ~ Atticus Dear followers, I know I said regular blog posts were coming back and then they didn't. What can I say. Sometimes life takes you for an adventure. I have a dear friend that says, "Ride the wave of life." This week I started…Read more Celebrating Life with the British Pantry

Weekend Adventures
Life is a series of thousands of miracles. Notice them. Water is one of my favorite things about living in the PNW. I love the rainy season. I love all the lakes, streams and the sound. I love it when it comes in the form of snow. It probably comes as no surprise that I'm…Read more Weekend Adventures
England Loses the 2020 Euro
"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today." ~ James Dean We all think we're going to live forever. We act as if we have all the time in the world. Or maybe that's just how it felt while we watched England sit in to defend a 1-0 score during the…Read more England Loses the 2020 Euro
Celebrating Life: Keto Hot Dog Buns
You are so much sunshine in every square inch. ~ Walt Whitman Summertime in the Midwest always meant cook-outs, fresh pie, fireworks, lighting-bugs and toasted marshmallows. Those are some of my fondest childhood memories I have of summer vacations. Not surprisingly, my happiest memories involve food. I come from a family of feeders. Cooking/baking has…Read more Celebrating Life: Keto Hot Dog Buns
New Beginnings
If not us, who? If now now, when? ~ JFK Hello dear followers! It's been a little while since I've posted.

When you're going through hell, keep going. ~ Winston Churchill It's been radio silent for a bit. Stuff has happened. I'm sure I did more then work, sleep, eat and take bathroom breaks. The reality is since I last posted there's been little more than working and sleeping with an emphasis on working. The British…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 55 and 56 and 57

Working From Home: Week 54
Be selective with your battles; sometimes peace is better than being right. Wow, what a week it has been. I'm still mostly working from home. Right now that means, one day a week I'm in the office to do all the items I can't do from home. I've been a bit tired/headache from the first…Read more Working From Home: Week 54
Getting Vaccinated: The First Dose
Science is magic that works. ~ Kurt Vonnegut This past week there was a federal mandate that all preschool through grade 12 educational employees qualify for COVID-19 vaccines. Within 12 hours of this mandate, my insurance provider had their online services updated, and I qualified for an e-ticket. I was then able to schedule an…Read more Getting Vaccinated: The First Dose
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.
