Back in 2019 BC (before Covid), there was a shindig called the Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration, every June in the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth, Washington. Accordion players would come from around the world to compete, play concerts, attend workshops, and generally have lots of fun. There were competitions for all age groups, from under 10 …

Well, this one should be pretty easy, as I spend lots of time snuggling with my pet kitty, Kikyo, and more time photographing her. In 2020, I even did a whole post entitled "Ten Years of Kikyo". She is named after a Japanese Anime character from the series InuYasha. It's about a present-day Japanese teenager, …
I caught our kitty, Kikyo, on her high cat tree while I was reading on the couch. Thank goodness for the iPhone 13 Pro camera, always at the ready! And for your cat laugh: Kikyo is a "rescue" kitty, and if you are in need of an overlord for your house (dogs have owners, cats …
Since most of my photos these days are taken with my iPhone 13 Pro, I am quite proud of how well it takes photos in low-light conditions. However, even my old iPhone XR took excellent low-light pictures. Last year, on July 4, we went to downtown Bellevue to watch the fireworks (that had been canceled …

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 …
