I am totally off schedule this week coming off a week of vacation and today being a holiday and it’s great. I hope you had a great Valentine’s Day. Hubby arranged for the Valentine’s Day dinner pickup from Nectar Cafe that included a delicious salad, stuffed acorn squash, roasted Brussels sprouts, and an amazing red […]
Getting Creative for the List
Happy Sunday! I feel like this blog has been a boring lately because my life has felt like more work than play lately. Someday that will change and there will be more fun adventures, it will be safe to travel and even visit stores I’ve been missing since the pandemic started. Until then, weather was […]
Rain and Busy Times for the List
I miss 3 day weekends, I could use another. Yesterday we decided to get out of the house for a hike at Folsom Lake where the water level was depressingly low, it was more like a pond and we nearly walked across the lake where there was supposed to be water. It has been very […]
Finding Motivation for the List
I hope all is going well, we are enjoying a lazy long weekend after another busy week. Miko is a fan of lazy weekends, he is very spoiled with us being home more. I have been trying to be healthier at home, I need to after the roller coaster of 2020. But also struggling a […]
Starting 2021 for the List
2021, still feels strange typing that. It’s been an interesting week here, another busy short week at work and quiet at home trying to busy ourselves with little projects we’ve been meaning to get to. Ron took apart the dishwasher yesterday since it was misbehaving and found a chunk of glass blocking the drainage that […]
Quiet Holidays for the List
How are you? Hanging in there I hope. It’s official here, Christmas will just be us, no family gatherings with cases still out of control. We are trying to make the best of the situation and focusing on what we have to be thankful for. I know Miko will be thankful to have us at […]
Holiday Spirit for the List
How are you? Staying safe while getting ready for the holidays I hope. Interesting times here, well this entire year really and cases are going crazy in this state again and ugly fights over locking down again due to it. Meanwhile we’re just trying to lay low, make the most of staying home, and get […]
Thanksgiving Weekend for the List
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It’s been a quiet and relaxing long weekend here where Miko has been a sweet cuddly buddy and we got to enjoy our new propane backyard fire bowl for camping and winter outdoor gatherings. We had a small Thanksgiving gathering at my sister’s with limited time indoors while […]
Lots of Colors for the List
Still wrapping my head around Thanksgiving being less than a week away, this year has both flown by and felt like it’s actually been 5 years long at the same time. That can’t be healthy. But hanging with a sweet work from home buddy who loves his soft blanket and being near my desk is. […]
VCC Votes and Great Eats
What a week, right? I’ll leave it at that and note that Miko has been all sorts of cute this week being a sweet cuddle buddy when working from home, sharing weekend breakfast cereal with me, enjoying his dog friendly plates with us at dinner, and loving that it’s finally cold enough to use the […]
