Our Journey Back in Time
Remember happiness is a way to travel not a destination. I meant to post about this sooner, but the day job is keeping me extra busy. The British Hubby and I recently time traveled. We went back over 2000 years to era of the first Emperor of China. Actually, we made a journey to the…Read more Our Journey Back in Time
Seaside Celebrations
Life should not be lived, it should be celebrated! This weekend, the British Hubby and I celebrated his name day. Last May, we decided to go no carb and no sugar to kick start a new healthy life style in hopes to get in better shape and lose some extra weight. We've made fantastic progress…Read more Seaside Celebrations
Adventures in the Midwest
Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow. Last Tuesday, I was packing for my yearly visit to the Midwest to see my family. I grew up in the Midwest. The British Hubby says I'm a Midwestern girl at heart, but the longer I live in the PNW the more I realize just how…Read more Adventures in the Midwest
How many is too many?
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. ~ Jamie Lyn I'm preparing for travel to the Midwest. Right now it's actually warmer in the PNW than it is where my family lives. Every time I travel, the hardest decision is what knitting to bring. Do I take one big project or several smaller…Read more How many is too many?

This weekend, we wanted to get an idea of what a longer road trip would feel like. We plan to avoid freeways when possible, but that won't always be an option. Yesterday,…Read more Off Roading

Our goal was to get in some freeway speeds to simulate what a longer road trip would be like. We're still doing shorter journeys to…Read more Ulysses at Speed

The First Ride
I take to the open road, healthy, free, the world before me. ~ Walt Whitman Today, the British Hubby and I took our first ride together on the Ural (we've named him Ulysses). Traveling on a sidecar is exhilarating, engaging and just plain fun! My face muscles actually hurt from grinning and laughing. Did I…Read more The First Ride
Musings on the Midwest
I grew up in the Midwest. The British Hubby always says, "You can take the girl out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the girl." I'll always be a Midwesterner at heart. Here's a few highlights of my favorite things to do when I visit my family. Lightening bugs also…Read more Musings on the Midwest
