Covid 19, People quarantined for over 3 months now,, summer vacation plans cancelled, Riots across the world, “Anarchy” in Capitol Hill (or not..depending on who you ask) historically unprecedented unemployment, toxic media coverage of everything and anything that is currently going on in the world and in all this mayhem, NASA launches the first private…
A pot of hot rice pudding is simmering on the stove, I am tucked away on the couch with a blanket, the dogs are on my lab and we are waiting for the Seahawks – Packers game to start and the forecasted artic storm to hit. Perfect conditions to catch up on my blog. FY19…
Good Bye fun Christmas time!! Since I just posted an extensive blog about the last 3 months nothing exciting to report – it was more a “sobering” week than exciting. The Seahawks lost against the Dallas Cowboys – unnecessary in my humble opinion; we “de-holidized” the house and took all the lights down, put the…
Bye Bye 2018 – Another Christmas is wrapped up and the countdown to 2019 starts in a little bit over 24 hours…I am ready for a New Year, I like New Beginnings and another chance of broadening my horizon to new opportunities. Do you take inventory of the past 12 months at this time of…
We just returned from our yearly 4th of July Long Beach outing and that means summer has finally started in the Pacific Northwest.

I can’t tell you how exited I am about my upcoming vacation! I think I already mentioned it in one of my prior posts and finally we are close to the countdown, 11 more days and Mike and I are taking off for a trip of a lifetime. Its our 10th year wedding anniversary and we…
I haven’t had a great “garden harvest” this year, mainly because I was too busy/lazy to water my veggie garden and it was just way too hot in the Pacific Northwest for my veggie garden to sustain itself. BUT my Zucchinis still grew with barely any water and so much determination has to be rewarded…
I for sure can not complain about not having anything to do these days, our weekends are filled with all sorts of fun activities like Open Air concerts, family visits, road trips and a special highlight: watching the Seahawks in training camp (thank you Astrid for sharing this special event with me!). Wow that was…
