I’m a little sad to end this fun weekend, but it was such a wonderful weekend and pretty good, but busy, week. I did try to get more creative with eats this week starting with a delicious beans and rice dish Ron made for us one night, the leftovers were great re-heated in acorn squash, […]
Bad Air Again for the List
It’s smokey here again with the latest wildfires in the area which has been a bit of a bummer, I had nice dinner plans for us last night for patio dining that we canceled because the air quality was not healthy. Things are improving today thankfully and I was able to take Miko for a […]
Less Smoke for the List
This week we got a couple of days of decent air quality and a break from the smokey views! It was so nice to get in an evening run! The air quality is back in the unhealthy range again and smokey, but it was good to get a break and enjoy a little outdoor time […]
Still In Tough Times for the List
As you’ve probably heard, the entire west coast is burning. Thankfully we’re not directly affected by the fires, just lots of smoke and hazardous air quality making for another weekend sheltering inside. Tuesday was very eerie with ash raining down in the afternoon as I left work. I keep indoor pandemic masks and outdoor filtering […]
More Heat & Smoke for the List
Happy Labor Day weekend! This time last year we were having a great rafting trip in Tahoe and I wish we could be there this year. But 2020 is a special mess, the few fun options for getting out this weekend are overly packed and it’s smokey thanks to more new fires and more triple […]
Better for the List
Well, it’s less smoky here now, the air quality has improved, but still not good enough for outdoor runs and dining out. And work has been busy, very busy. Friday was a very long day that started at 6AM with server issues, so it’s been nice to decompress a little this weekend. Miko has been […]
Tough Times for the List
Early Monday morning we were woken up by an intense thunder and lightening storm that’s very rare here this time of year. That storm system caused a lot of lightening fires around the bay area and valley. Thankfully we’re only affected by the smoke and ash, but the air quality has ranged between unhealthy to […]
Melting for the List
Ugh, we are melting here with a high of 110 degrees. The weather has been so strange this week, but triple digits every day for the next 10 days is a little depressing. It was already hot when I got up at 6:30 am this morning and had to get Miko out on a long […]
Lake Camping Trip
Thank you for the kind words for Miko. We have been adjusting to his medication and waiting for a second opinion appointment. And just trying to hope for the best. He has been such a sweet heart and acting like his usual energetic and happy self. This has been an interesting week, we took a […]
Low Key Birthday for the List
Another week flew by and cases are so bad in CA now we’re just trying to hang in there are ride this out. Last week was my birthday and it was a low key day at home of presents, garden fun, vegan pizza and gaming. We joked at husband’s low key, shelter in place birthday […]
