It's impossible to walk in the woods and be in a bad mood at the same time. The temperatures have finally dropped. There is still a hint of smoke in the air, but it's not as hazy as last weekend. The British Hubby and I thought we would attempt to hike. We're a bit rusty…Read more Secluded Hiking
Team Work Saves the Day
I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse. ~ Florence Nightingale Last week we got off track with our Godzilla movies. We should have watched Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. This movie was produced in 1964 and was the first Godzilla movie in color. It's the fifth movie in the Godzilla anthology. The…Read more Team Work Saves the Day
Conspiracy Thursday: Area 51
The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other. ~ Douglas MacArthur Last Thursday, the British Hubby and I started listening to Conspiracy Theories podcast. The next two episodes talk about Area…Read more Conspiracy Thursday: Area 51
Signs of Autumn
Each moment of the year has its own beauty. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson This past weekend, there was a brief reprieve from the heat and smokey conditions. I took advantage of the lovely weather to have a morning stroll with a Stitch Sprouts knitting chum and check out a yarn store. The trail we were…Read more Signs of Autumn
Godzilla Paraphernalia
The only thing scarier than Godzilla is Godzilla's lawyers. ~ Paul Watson Friday night is Godzilla movie night.

Conspiracy Thursday: Princess Diana
"Trust no one." The X-Files For the past year, the British Hubby and I have instituted a No TV Thursday. It's so easy to zone out in front of the boob tube. You've probably noticed the British Hubby and I love a good movie. Growing up before internet, smart phones and social media, I remember…Read more Conspiracy Thursday: Princess Diana
The Haze Days of Summer
There shall be eternal summer in the grateful heart. ~ Celia Thaxter Have I mentioned the PNW is having the hottest summer on record?

Dances with Mothra
He that plants trees loves others besides himself. ~Thomas Fuller Friday night has become Godzilla movie night at our house. The next movie on our list was Mothra vs. Godzilla. The movie started with a typhoon that dislodged a huge egg from Infant Island and ended up on the shores of Japan. You may recall…Read more Dances with Mothra
Radioactive Update
There are no ordinary cats. ~ Colette It's Friday! This has been another scorching hot week in the PNW. While the day job does provide relief from the hot air outside, I spent a rather large amount of time there attempting to keep up with the demanding work flow this week. The highlight this week…Read more Radioactive Update
Hiking in the Heat
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. ~Beverly Sills The PNW is having a record breaking hot summer. This makes hiking and outdoor activities challenging. On Sunday, the British Hubby and I went for a mild hike. Okay, the British Hubby said it was a stroll. Weather you're hiking or strolling in the…Read more Hiking in the Heat
