Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties ~ W.L. George Today is a special day in our house. It's the kitties birthday! Woot Woot.

Bulbs, Birds and Books
Some days you just have to create your own sunshine. This weekend, my allergies hit with full force. Things are starting to sprout. This makes the pollen count high. I noticed these bulbs on our back deck. This Spring, we added some bird feeders. The kitties love them. The birds love them. The birds are especially…Read more Bulbs, Birds and Books
World Domination Through Grilling
Food is our common ground, a universal experience. ~ James Beard We love to grill. The British Hubby still misses BBQ from Texas. This week a new grill/smoker arrived at our house. Our old grill was rusting through. It had made several cross country journeys with us as we moved to different parts of the…Read more World Domination Through Grilling
Mystery and Intrigue in Knitting: Clue 2
The final mystery is oneself. ~ Oscar Wilde 2018 is the year of Mystery, Intrigue and World Domination. I've interpreted this theme to challenge myself and stretch outside my comfort zone in all areas of my life. At the day job, I'm trying to think of challenges as growth opportunities (this one is a continual…Read more Mystery and Intrigue in Knitting: Clue 2
Conspiracy: How is it Monday Already?
Just once, I would like to wake up, turn on the news, and hear... 'Monday has been canceled, go back to sleep.' Ever feel like the time goes faster on the weekend than it does through the work week? I blame the Government. I suspect these two top secrete missions have forever messed with Space…Read more Conspiracy: How is it Monday Already?
Saturday Morning Decadence
All happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast. ~ John Gunther A typical Saturday morning at our house included some type of low-carb breakfast casserole or quiche. This week, my seasonal allergies have started. Roughly translated, my energy levels are sub par. So we splurged and had eggy on toast! Doesn't this look decadent? Yum! The rest of…Read more Saturday Morning Decadence
The First, My Last, My Everything
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star. ~ Barry White It's the last day of February. My group photo this month is a little sparse. It's the first cast on and the last completed wip for the month. Presenting Alipuns I. I decided to make this a beanie instead of slouchy and not add…Read more The First, My Last, My Everything
Naught to Sixty
I feel the need for speed! ~ Top Gun My commute car can go 0 to 60 in 6 seconds and has a manual gear box. Ulysses goes 0 to 60 in about 9 seconds. (In case you've missed it, that's our sidecar motorcycle.) The kitties top speed is 30 mph which they can only…Read more Naught to Sixty
Pom Poms, Badges & Snowstorms
A man who asks is a fool for five minutes. A man who never asks is a fool for life. ~ Chinese Proverb Yesterday afternoon I had my next Stitch Sprouts lesson. We were making pom poms! I was pretty excited. Here's a no tech way to make a pom pom. Or you can get…Read more Pom Poms, Badges & Snowstorms
Saturday Brunch
Saturday mornings are for mimosas and brunch. This morning, the British Hubby and I woke up to a sleety rainy snowy mixture coming down. It wasn't accumulating, but it looked sort of miserable. Naturally, as carb addicts our first thought was carbs. Fortunately I had made a low carb breakfast casserole earlier in the week.…Read more Saturday Brunch
