I'm the world's biggest klutz, so I don't engage in many sports myself, but I have no problem watching, especially when the sport is squash. Hubby is a competitive squash player, and together we have been to many tournaments since we met in 2001. The farthest away we have been for a tournament is Vancouver, …

This is the final week of summer vacation for Washington schools. School normally resumes on the Wednesday after Labor Day. I took a stroll by Silver Lake, and here are some observations. On a very warm Tuesday, the lake is usually packed with kids swimming, kayaks and paddle boards with people standing and paddling around …
Earlier this week, Hubby and I had a little getaway to LaConner, situated on the Swinomish Channel. It’s a long tidal channel northwest of Seattle. On the West side of the Channel is the Swinomish Indian Reservation, and on the West side is the picturesque town of LaConner. We go there often, as it’s only …
We have Ricochet friends who just moved from LosAngeles to Anacortes, and now that they both are up here, we scheduled lunch for yesterday, and included our other friend from Seattle. I decided to extend the lunch a couple of days, since I thought we were in need of a short break from home. Drive …

So here are some real and cartoon black cats who have crossed my path lately. Of course, the most important black cat in my life is the one who rules the roost at our house, and has both Hubby and me wrapped around her furry paw. The Lady Kikyo. She is 15 years old now, …
No Friday Funnies day would be complete without a new Simon’s Cat animation. I marvel at that kitty’s paw-dexterity every time. https://twitter.com/simonscat/status/1954893263795618006?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Every cat begs! This crime story from Washington DeSleaze (h/t Jewels Jones) started out as a serious account of a beta-male attacking a federal officer doing his duty, but ended up as comedy, …

Well, since just this week I posted some photos from this year's Bellevue Arts and Crafts Fair, I guess I need to find some others for this post! Hubby and I always go the Washington State Fair, and I am always a picture-taking fool when we go (especially since I got my first smartphone and …

So here it is. Normally the last weekend in July, the Fair takes up a large portion of the Bellevue Square parking garage, and sometimes parking lots on surrounding streets. In its heyday, it ran 11 hours a day, with hundreds of booths. It was sponsored by the Bellevue Art Museum, and included an art …
