It is starting to feel like fall this weekend, we got wind, rain, cool temps, and no wildfire smoke. So exiting we picked up pumpkins at Trader Joe’s and opened the windows for that wonderful fresh rain smell. Still eating like a queen for work lunches at Zest Kitchen and Pho Vegan Asian Cuisine as […]

Finding New Normal

We Lost Our Sunshine
I am writing that post I have been dreading for the last 2 years as I sit here broken hearted. On Monday, August 22nd, 2022 at about 11:45 AM, Miko left us. It seemed to happen so fast before we could get him to the vet and we were both with him cuddling him. I […]

Rodent Saga Continues for the List
