So much of what we see around us is in motion, especially outdoors. If there is any wind at all, all the plants are in continuous motion. Birds on the wing are some of my favorite subjects to capture with me cameras; both my Canon point-and-shoot camera, and the excellent cameras on my iPhone 13 …
So we need some new cat memes, and photos. First, here's Kikyo taking over the unmade bed. Remember this one? And some new ones. The above is especially relevant around here right at the moment. From last June, when it was over 100 here. Help! Kitten Invasion!! Happy International Cat Day! Pet your kitties, and …
On July 28, I packed a picnic dinner, and went down to Silver Lake Park to watch the kids and the ducks and geese swim. It was a beautiful, warm evening. The kids were having lots of fun diving off the dock and yelling. There were people out on their paddle-boards too. And the ducks …

Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips.

After the concert, we rented a car …

This shoe is designed to be used, worn out, and then returned to the company for recycling. For maybe the first time, a consumer …

...who just so happens to lead the US Women's Soccer (socialist sport) Team, which has done much better than the men. Megan Rapinoe is a smart-ass who has no compunctions about trashing police and her own country. She is thoroughly undeserving of the high honor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and over at RedState.com, …

As we have done in previous years, Hubby and I packed the picnic dinner, new chairs, and blanket, and headed over to Bellevue to watch the fireworks. Unlike last year, this year's crowd was back to normal, filling the lawn at the Bellevue Downtown Park with picnic blankets, chairs, coolers, and even some shelters. And …
I appreciate this week's challenge topic, because I have been prompted in more ways than one to be grateful for all the treasures that make life in our America wonderful. It would be so easy to wallow in misery at all the country's problems, but we definitely need to step back and appreciate what we …
My readers will know that my husband plays accordion. Until recently, he played in an accordion band, but is no longer, since the band now only accepts Covid-vaccinated players. The gathering was cancelled in 2020 and 2021, so everyone was thrilled that it went forward in 2022. We went for the entire time, from Thursday …
