Here’s to a happy weekend and a happy Mother’s Day! To me that also means celebrating all the special woman in our lives, who aren’t necessarily our own mothers. The women I admire the most is Rosalie. Her kindness, creativity, love of gardening and reading, patience, […]
Local asparagus is in season, and it has been fantastic so far. Almost every time I visit the grocery store, I’ve picked up a giant bunch of these succulent bright green spears. I don’t peel asparagus because I’m not one to make a big fuss […]
A couple of weeks ago, I met my friend Marlene at the mall for a cup of coffee. After coffee and conversation, we walked a few laps around the mall and then headed straight to the bookstore. We both love books, and it’s always fun to browse […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hard to believe that 2016 is almost over! I won’t be going out on New Years Eve this year. How about you? Do you have any exciting plans to celebrate?

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I will be relaxing and staying at home since I’ve never been a Black Friday shopper. Are you a Black Friday shopper?
For the last few days I’ve been glued to my computer. Every year, I make calendars from my travels near and far for friends and family. It’s something I love doing despite all the time it takes to sort through a year’s worth of photographs, […]
Enjoy the weekend and spend some time in nature! I will go on a hike with my camera. What are your plans?
The weather has been chilly and very rainy here in the Pacific Northwest this month. Rain is good and we do need it. But when I think that this is just beginning of the wet season, I sure wish I had a fast-forward button to […]
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 […]
