As far as I am concerned, spring might as well make an early appearance around here. We had mountains of snow, some ice and freezing rain, the coldest temperatures in a decade and lots and lots of rain. Needless to say, I am ready for spring! May […]
Cold, hungry, thirsty The snowy table is set for a winter feast. This winter brought an unusual amount of snow to the Portland, Oregon area. Our backyard is a perfect restaurant for the many birds in our neighborhood. One of my favorite visitors is the […]
If there is one thing I can count on most days, it’s a message from my sister in Germany. She often sends short fun video clips that make me laugh. This one however was so amazing that I had to share it. I hope you […]
After the holidays I’d been feeling tired and a bit of track. I figured that that, and the severely cold weather which is unusual for us here in Portland, must be to blame. Just as I was starting to get my energy back, I suddenly felt […]

A peaceful meditation seat with toadstools and pillowy moss. Steal this wink of time, I think … To miss it would be a great loss. .
Have a great weekend! Hard to believe that it’s November already!
Truth be told, despite all the reading and researching I did before our trip to London, the London Film Museum had eluded me! As a matter of fact, I didn’t know of its existence until I stood right in front of it one afternoon in […]
On our trip to Europe this spring, we spent a few days in Haarlem, Holland. We have always enjoyed Amsterdam, but decided that it was time to mix it up a bit! Haarlem is a small city right outside of Amsterdam and can easily be […]
For years I had been wanting to go to the National Heirloom Exhibition! However, I rarely think about this event, until I’d be driving past the fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California, during my annual visit there. I’d see the huge sign, and tell myself that next year, I would […]
