"I know all about you. Sex for dinner and death for breakfast." Over the holidays, the British Hubby and I took a slight hiatus on our Friday night Bond movie marathon. Die Another Day was our next movie. This is the last movie with Pierce Brosnan as Bond. I've been pondering why I enjoyed this…Read more Die Another Day

Craftvent Day 4
If you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time. ~ Billy Joel On the 4th day of Craftvent my unopened package reveled to me a surprise! (Sung to the tune Of the Twelve Days of Christmas.) The past few years I've struggled to get in the holiday spirit. Given the crappy…Read more Craftvent Day 4
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
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
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
Rain Rain Go Away
Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet. ~ Bob Marley Wow, what an odd winter we're having. Below normal temperatures than above normal temperatures. Snow when we don't normally have snow. And January had 28 days of rain out of 31. Eek, that's a lot of rain. Most people think it rains all…Read more Rain Rain Go Away
Friday Night Heist
"Elementary, my dear Watson." ~ The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, 1939. The snow has mostly melted. Okay, we actually still have quite a bit left, but the road conditions have cleared up enough to travel into work. Commuting sure does cut down on my knitting and snuggling time. Snow or no snow Friday night typically…Read more Friday Night Heist
Snow Day: The First
When it snows you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels. It's the first snow day of 2020. It's rare my house has snow in January. Yes, it's winter and it's cold, but normally the snow level stays at a higher elevation. Traditionally, we've not been house bound until February, but an arctic storm…Read more Snow Day: The First
2020: The Year of Exploration & Skill Building
Adventure begins where plans end. Happy New Year! It's the start of a new year and a new decade. That is of course, only if you follow the Gregorian Calendar. If you've been following the blog for a bit, you'll know we like to pick themes for the year. Last year, was the Year of…Read more 2020: The Year of Exploration & Skill Building
