2018 was an odd year, something I feel like I been saying too much the last couple of years. There were a lot of ups and down and I’m ready to move onto a fresh year. There were adventures and fun. But also sadness and negativity. I think I’ve learned to deal with that and […]
Christmas Fun
What day of the week is this? Take a few days off work and I’m totally disoriented. That’s fine though, I have been relaxing, catching up on projects, going for a hike today, and just enjoying not being at work. The pups have been enjoying the fireplace a lot the last few days with the […]
Holiday Time
You ready for Christmas? Can’t believe it’s here and my posting schedule is a little off and will be until next year. I am taking time off work until next year and I’m thrilled! No actual plans yet, just some down time to recoup from the holidays, work on projects, and have a little fun. […]
Just Egg & Running for the List
This week flew by, right? And Christmas is getting closer! I’m not complaining, shopping is pretty much wrapped up and truthfully with no kids or huge office parties, my shopping is pretty simple. I did get gifts for the pups this weekend, a new toy for Miko and treats for Leela since she’s not into […]
Brazil Nut Dressing & Gift Guide
Whew, it’s been another crazy week here and it feels like time is flying and Christmas will be here like tomorrow! The pups aren’t stressing, they’re enjoying the fireplace fully relaxed. Miko leaves his toy in front of the fire a lot to warm it up. This time of year can bring on a lot […]
Holiday Spirit for the List
Another weekend whiffed by and whoa, it’s December! 2018 is almost done, that is crazy. We’ve been getting so much rain here lately that things are starting to look green and clear which is such a welcome change after all the smoke. Miko has been happy to snuggle in his blanket and skip the cold […]
Easy and Interesting Meals
I had every intention of having a new recipe ready this week, but that did not happen. Work has been crazy, on call has been crazy, we’re still eating through leftovers, and time has been an issue. Oh well! The fall trees are gorgeous here and we finished our Christmas tree. Both of our chihuahuas […]
Rain and Celebration for the List
It’s been a great few days off for Thanksgiving, so great I’m a little sad about going back to work tomorrow. Oh well, back to the grind. Thanksgiving started with an easy 4-mile run in the chilly wind. I didn’t mind, so great to see clouds and fall lease everywhere after smoke and dryness during […]
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 […]
Comforting Eats for Tough Times
We’re still here with very frustrated dogs! Currently our air quality status is hazardous from the Camp Fire just north which is the worst rating I’ve ever seen. That rating basically means don’t go outside without a mask and it’s been consistently bad every evening since Friday so no evening walks for us. I’ve been […]
