We still have my sister’s cat as a houseguest and she has claimed one of our couches and any place else we like to site. She also likes to have parties with her toys in the middle of the night. We stepped out to Hidden Falls for a hike and change of scenery since the […]
Warm Weather Eats for the List
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. I saw cute geese and duck families celebrating on some outdoor time this weekend and enjoyed sunshine after a lot of rain last weekend. But the weather has been interesting here, raining and in the 60s last weekend, sunny and 90s this weekend. I feel like […]
Wrapping up 2022 for the List
I’m here and have been enjoying a few days of being lazy and unmotivated. The holidays are such an interesting time that seems to end rapidly after weeks of buildup. I’m not complaining, instead enjoying a week of furlough that comes with my new job. In the past I rarely took additional time off for […]
Hints of Fall for the List
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 […]
Great Eats & Positive Outlook for the List
Here we are at Sunday again, wow. It’s been a good and interesting week, I got a run in one evening taking in the views since it was actually cool enough after work. And Miko has been doing okay, coughing more this week. But he had a vet appointment Friday with X-rays confirming it’s not […]
Rebooting a Classic
Miko is not happy with me. He took his favorite toy in the backyard and managed to set it down in a puddle of Leela’s pee. So it’s in the wash and he’s pouting, refuses to play with any of the other toys in his full toy box. The weather is nothing to pout about […]
New Cheese and Lighter Ginger Dressing
The dogs are having a rough week here relaxing in front of the fireplace. And I’m still trying to up my running pace with treadmill interval workouts, but that’s been tricky this month. Stress, anxiety, and the winter weather have me just hanging in there with my gym routine currently. But I need to get […]
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 […]
Citrus Ginger Dressing
Happy New Year! Going back to work today was tough, but also nice after a few lazy days to get back into the routine. The pups are still very satisfied with their fireplace routine during the cold mornings and evenings. New Year’s Eve was pretty laid back for us, hubby made a great dinner using […]
Post Holiday Peanut Dressing
Today was a celebrated rainy day in Northern California! That’s rain making our backyard view hazy, not smoke! Isn’t that beautiful? Many would consider today’s weather gloomy and wet, but we celebrated it to clear the smoky air and help firefighters. And hopefully much more rain to come in the next week or so. Miko […]
