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 […]
Working Hard for the List
How are you? We are here and it’s raining! Finally getting some much needed rain which Miko is not happy about and pouts about backyard trips, forget walks in the rain! Since it’s supposed to rain all day, it’s a great excuse to stay home and catch up on work. Trying to decide if I […]
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. […]
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 […]
