These two photos have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The first one was captured at a used-car dealer I visited this afternoon. The car next to me pulled in just as I was turning off the engine. It belongs to an employee there. The dealer does not handle cars like this one. Isn't …
At age 73, I still don't think of myself as "over the hill". However, I have taken some hills in my long life. Here in Western Washington, we are hemmed in by the Cascade Mountains to the East, and we cross them often. On the way to Stevens Pass, the road winds by Mount Index. …

Here are a couple more of the photos I took of the youngsters and their beautiful horses at the State Fair. This young lady is finished with her competition, and leads her horse back to the barn. She will remove its saddle, rub it down well, and feed it (hopefully it will get some treats …
I don't have much of a garden, since I'm not much into yard work. But I do have a couple of plants that add some color to the front and back yards. In 2000, when I bought my house, my real estate agent bought me an azalea plant, which I added to the front yard. …
For some reason, I'm feeling very oppositional today. And I caught all these opposites on our shopping trip this afternoon! My readers will know that I am opposed to the government's insistence that we all drive electric cars, for reasons discussed in many previous posts here. I happen to live in a far-left-environmental-wacko area of …

Since our local smoke is gone, the following photos are from our trip to Montana and back in September of 2017. Glacier Park was closed, and fires were burning within a few miles of our vacation cabin. Lake Coeur D'Alene from I-90. Spokane Valley from I-90 View across the street from our cabin in Bigfork, …
I always keep my eye out for colorful flowers. This planter was along a walkway at the Washington State Fair.
Thinking back on the past three years, it occurs to me that we have pretty much stayed out of big cities, both at home and on vacations. In the last three years of Covid madness, I have only been to Seattle once, for a private concert at the new Center for Chamber Music, which Hubby …

On Friday, September 9, Hubby and I again went to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (in Pierce County). This year's fair was much freer than last year's, when masks were required even outdoors! I did not wear a mask last year, in defiance of the Health Nazis, and even though they were not required …
Hubby said "Let's drive to Leavenworth", so we got in the car and set off, up US Highway 2, to our favorite day-trip destination, just on the East side of the Cascade Mountains. It was a beautiful high-70s day, and most of the traffic was going in the opposite direction! We were quite fortunate, and …
