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. The Spring was a bit intense at my day job which sadly left little room for much of anything else besides eating (no cooking), sleeping, some kitty pets and snuggles with the British Hubby.…Read more New Beginnings
Working from Home: Weeks 55 and 56 and 57
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
Kong Double Feature
I wish I had left Kong alone on the island. We continued our Kong movie marathon last Friday with the next two Kong movies. The British Hubby and I both thought we had not seen all the King Kong movies, but the first three Kong movies so far have been reruns for us. The Son…Read more Kong Double Feature
Craftvent: Day 16
Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. ~ Mae West Have you been wondering what's happening with my craftvent scarves? Each day is taking longer and longer to post about. I will admit as Spring approaches, it's hard to keep up steam on my winter scarves. Maybe that's the real reason crafters have…Read more Craftvent: Day 16
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. That means the 10 day forecast isn't reliable. Sometimes even the 2 day forecast is wrong. You learn to dress in layers and…Read more Celebrating Life: Grilling
Working From Home: Weeks 52 and 53
The one who falls and gets back up is so much stronger than one who never falls. It's been another two weeks. The British Hubby is still sole working from home. I'm mostly working from home. These two weeks have felt a bit like an eternity. Could be because we hit the year mark on…Read more Working From Home: Weeks 52 and 53
