"There's a saying in England: Where there's smoke, there's fire." Friday night movies we try to make a fun event. Watching the Bond films has been interesting. On Her Majesties Secret Service is the next film in our 007 journey. This is the first time we have different actors play Bond and Blofeld. The British…Read more On Her Majesties Secret Service
Celebrating Life with Burt
Celebrate life. To truly live, celebrate each day of life. Let each day be a festival of joy. It's Friday again! How did that happen? In some ways time moves faster wfh, and in other ways it feels slower. No matter how I perceive time to be passing, it's still important to celebrate life. Did…Read more Celebrating Life with Burt
Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Where has the past two weeks gone? I'm blaming the heat and the day job on lost time. Although, the heat has been fantastic for the sunflowers. We're down to the last three or four that haven't bloomed yet. Even our experiment from bird seed opened up.…Read more Working from Home: Weeks 24 and 25
You Only Live Twice
Happiness is a mysterious thing, to be found somewhere between too little and too much. ~ Ruskin Bond The past few days have been extremely hot in the PNW. I'm blaming the heat on my slow post about this movie. The next Bond movie featured is You Only Live Twice. To me that implies Bond…Read more You Only Live Twice
Three Wheeled Picnic
Jobs fill your pocket, but adventure fills your soul. Wow, where did the week go? I had planned to post this earlier in the week, but the day job has kept me busy. Sometimes you just need to stop staring at a digital screen. The British Hubby and I have had a few failed attempts…Read more Three Wheeled Picnic
Thunderball
"I think he got the point." ~ Thunderball Last Friday, we only managed one movie. It was so lovely outside, I had a walk with a coworker. Nothing like a walk and an adult beverage with a friend. It's challenging to wear a mask while imbibing, but we did keep them on to walk. The…Read more Thunderball
Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Like a welcome summer rain, humor may suddenly cleanse and cool the earth, the air and you. ~ Langston Hughes In the PNW, we don't often get rain in July and August. When we do, it's often very localized. On Thursday, we had a proper rain shower. You can just make out the rain in…Read more Celebrating Life: Summer Showers
Working from Home: Week 23
Without courage, all other virtues lose their meaning. ~ Winston Churchill The past week, I've seen about a dozen deer roam through our back yard and neighborhood. Mostly have been doe, but we did spot two bucks. We also saw an amazing rust colored bobcat. I now considered it a bad day if I didn't…Read more Working from Home: Week 23
The Vast of Night and Goldfinger
Fay Crocker: So the train travels between two thousand and five thousand miles per hour in these tubes, all across the country. That’s how it’s all going to be. It’s called vacuum tube transportation. And all these tubes, they crisscross all of the world, so we’re going to sit in cars that run through the tubes,…Read more The Vast of Night and Goldfinger
Celebrating Life with Sardines
A cat does not want all the world to love them, only those they have chosen to love. Since the British Hubby and I are finding new ways to celebrate life, why shouldn't the cats as well? To be fair, I think our cats already have a pretty amazing life. Sure, they wash their own…Read more Celebrating Life with Sardines
