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. […]
Fall Fun for the List
I hope you’ve been having a great weekend, it’s been relaxing and fun here. We got new phones and have been having a great time playing with the new camera which Miko has been the subject of most photos – haha. Wow on the detail and low light action shots – those would have been […]
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 […]
Happy World Vegan Day for the List
Halloween is over, time to break out the Christmas playlists! Seriously, I probably will be listening to them this week, not ashamed. And what a strange Halloween! Finally we get a year with it on a Saturday night and fall back for an extra hour of partying … but it’s during a pandemic. 2020 just […]
Fun Weekend for the List
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, […]
Getting into Fall Spirit
It’s really starting to feel like fall here and highs will be in the 70s next week! Miko is ready, we washed his massive stash of soft blankets for every bed in the house. And the weather is perfect for runs and long dog walks. It was another crazy week at work, kind of a […]
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 […]
Day by Day for the List
Taking it day by day sums up this week month year. It was a crazy busy week that flew by. We did have good air quality and it was so nice to return to running outside regularly, gotta enjoy that while I can! I only worked from home one day this week and had 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 […]
