I guess we can count ourselves lucky, we are in the middle of winter, according to the calendar, and the temperature is quite balmy.  Who knows if real winter weather will hit again. The cold snap we had in the last couple of weeks was enough for me.   A good thing is it is getting […]

Almost all the sparkle and Christmas cheer is gone from our halls, Christmas tree is down.  Back to our normal day-to-day chores and living.  On one hand I’m happy to be back to “normal” on the other hand I will miss all the great Christmas light displays and social events that happen during the holiday […]

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving weekend. I’m assuming everyone enjoyed the turkey and all the trimmings. Now everyone will switch into Christmas mode, decorations, and shopping will be on everyone’s list of things to do. We are skipping the December Book club and will resume in January.  I will be hosting the event […]

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend. It was a lovely weekend, a great time to hang out with family and friends but also to pay homage to the real, meaning of Memorial Day.  A chance to honor all who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can all live in peace and […]

Happy April Fools Day Today Linda and I are going to the Seattle Zoo.  We plan to put food coloring in the penguin and otter swimming pools.  Set free as many birds and small animals as possible.  Then while Linda fakes a medical emergency in one part of the snake and reptile building I’m going […]
