Since I am recovering from pneumonia, we mostly stayed home this weekend. On Saturday, New Years Day, I insisted on watching the big Hogwarts Reunion show on HBO Max. It was, simply, wonderful. I became a thorough Harry Potter fan in 2001, when we saw the first movie, and have been one ever since. I …
A few nights ago, I took a walk around my neighborhood, looking at all the Christmas lights put up by my neighbors. Some were very creative, and all were festive. Reindeer and deer were a common theme this year. One neighbor put up a pair of polar bears. I thank all my neighbors for their …
I understand that it's both National Cat Day, and the weekend of Halloween. So I decided to celebrate both holidays with pictures of our Halloween Black Cat, Kikyo. She is around 12 years old now, which makes her a Senior cat (to go with her Senior Staff, myself and Hubby). Here are some pictures of …

These are just too good to pass up. Enjoy. Just today, Kaiser Permanante suspended, without pay, over 2,500 of their employees, because they did not submit to the invasive medical procedure of Covid vaccination. My sentiments, exactly. And, finally, one from Joe himself. Thank you!
I just had to do this one, for my friend Cee, who doesn't live too far from me. Circles make the world go round (see what I did there?), and trace the roughly-circular orbits of all the planets and their satellites. Did you know that the ancient Egyptians did not use the wheel? They found …

In 2020, the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (pronounced Pew-al-up), was canceled, like everything else, due to Covid. This year, the Almighty Dictatorial Health Nazis in Olympia and Tacoma "let" it go on. Albeit with a Mask Mandate, requiring that all fair-goers wear a mask, indoors and out, regardless of vaccination status. What did that …

The Washington State Fair, or "The Puyallup Fair", as it is widely known, starts this Friday, September 3, and runs to the end of September. I just purchased our admission tickets online this afternoon, and they are good for any day. We are going on Saturday. Hours after I bought our tickets, I learned from …
Periodically, Hubby and I drive from our home in Everett, Washington to the town of Leavenworth, along US Highway 2. For years, I have noticed the roadside sign, pointing to the exit to Flowing Lake County Park. I have always wondered what was there at the park, but we were normally in a bit of …
