Thanks again for the kind words on Shadow, it’s been tough dealing with multiple losses this month. We’re thankful to have had the time we did with them and trying to focus on celebrating that. Miko, Leela, and Smokey have been so sweet to us as we’re dealing with everything, Miko has been extra cuddly […]
More Vegan Chef Challenge & Local Stew
It’s been a nice and relaxing weekend so far. The last few weeks have been so busy with work and outside of work that it’s nice to get a little down time at home to blast the house clean and catch up. Friday we sold Skipper’s dog house and I wasn’t looking to or planning […]
Scenes from Apple Hill
Thank you for the kind words on Skipper, I really appreciated the sweet comments and emails. It’s a tough time since Shadow, our sweet older kitty, is not doing well and losing more weight. Hoping for good news from the vet tomorrow. But I’m grateful to be able to share our lives with so many […]
Another Half Done
I made it through another half marathon yesterday in under 2 hours, but it was an early morning and long day! We got up at 4:45 am to get ready and be out of the house by 5:45 am, picked up my sister, and headed to Land Park for the Urban Cow Half Marathon. After […]
Getting into Fall and More Hemp Tofu
Skipper has been hanging in there after his little spell on Friday, but still not 100%. He’s slower, not as interested in food as he was, which is very strange for him, and seems a little more confused. He still seems happy and not like he’s in pain, but that can be tough to tell […]
Scenes from the Farm-to-Fork Festival
Yesterday we had a scary event with Skipper. When we rescued him over a year ago, we knew he was old, at least 12 years old, and probably abandoned which breaks my heart. And the long list of health problems the vet found was scary – diabetes, erratic heart beat, possibly tumors causing other blood […]
Squash Stir Fry for WIAW
What I Ate Wednesdays are great for me because they mean the work week is halfway over and that’s big this week since I’m ready for it to end! I’m on call for work this week and have already had my precious beauty sleep interrupted by server problems too many times, running on about 5 […]
Baked Banana Squash
It’s been a laid back Saturday of running, catching up with house projects, shopping, laundry, gardening, office paperwork, and lots of playing with this little guy. I also re-imaged my laptop with Windows 8 and still getting the hang of it. It’s very different from Windows 7 and I’ll be testing it for awhile before […]
Celebrating Fall at Apple Hill
Every fall I like to make at least one trip to Apple Hill, a fun area of orchards, tree farms, crafts, breweries, and wineries all connected by narrow, winding, hilly, scenic roads. And it comes alive in fall with harvest festivities, pumpkins, apples, turning leaves, and the smell of pumpkin pies. It’s corny, but gorgeous […]
Starting the Weekend Early
I figured that since it’s my birthday this weekend, it should be a long weekend taking today and tomorrow off work just to relax, play, and do anything but think of work. I started my laid back celebration last night with a simple dinner using Trader Joe’s vegan Meatless Meatballs, a total lazy crutch freezer […]
