I hope you had a wonderful holiday! We did here with lots of great eats, family, and fun. We did have a small, socially distanced, outdoor family gathering on Christmas Eve that went well even though it was cold! And a relaxing day at home on Christmas Day staying in from the cold rain and […]
Getting Better for the List
This weekend seemed to fly by too fast, but it was a productive weekend. We still have my mom’s dog, Dasher, while she is recovering from hip replacement surgery and he is a, uh, portly dog. He’s a sweetheart, but could stand to loose a few pounds and gets tired on long walks with Miko […]
Fun Eats & New Dressing
It has been a wild few days here with heavy rain and winds. Not complaining, California always needs it! But we have two very unhappy chihuahuas who refuse to go outside. Even our covered porch is a wind tunnel that Miko refuses. Crazy winter weather calls for steaming bowls of chili and hubby is amazing […]
The 4th & Great Eats
As fun as the 4th can be, I am glad it’s over. I guess fireworks aren’t as exciting as I get older and I hate what they do to the dogs more. Leela used to be terrified and was a nervous wreck during fireworks. Now that she’s older, blind, and mostly deaf, she doesn’t notice […]
Time to Chill
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. The last few days have been a blur here in a good but stressful way. I’ve said it before, but for me the day after Christmas feels more like Christmas as a time to relax after all the chaos and stress and really enjoy the gifts and decorations […]
Holiday Chaos Starts for the List
Happy Sunday! Kind of feels like it’s already Christmas with the shopping madness and house decorations up, I guess the weeks between Thanksgiving and actual Christmas is the new Christmas. The pups sheltered themselves from the chaos all snug in their warm beds this weekend. And Miko made sure he’s ready at the table to […]
Pre-Race Week for the List
Hello and happy Sunday! I am feeling wiped after the Shamrock’n half marathon and enjoying sitting a bit before finding energy to walk dogs. The race recap is coming soon after I finish sorting pictures and resting. The week leading up to the half was jam-packed with work stress, but also great eats. Sweet hubby […]
Disconnected Camping Vacation
Happy 4th of July! I’m back after 5 nights of camping in the Humboldt Redwoods with family. I had every intention of blogging from our campsite and even had posts ready to go, but no cell reception through most of the trip even though the coverage map showed there was coverage – it lied! Disconnecting to enjoy […]
Feeling Spring for the Weekend List
Smokey seems to think she runs the house, don’t all cats? Poor Miko was just trying to have a nap snuggled in his favorite couch blanket. When Smokey decides it’s her bed now. Thankfully Miko is a good sport about it and willing to share. It’s been an interesting week here, for a short work […]
