For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water. Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area. Wherever we travel, we like to check out local lakes and rivers. And when we are on a cruise ship, my favorite activity is sitting out on our stateroom balcony, …

I spend a lot of time alone these days, and I have no problem with that. I get up early, long before my husband, and get ready to go to work. But first, I have to satisfy the furry animal who waits outside the bedroom door, meowing for her breakfast. In the evenings, when Hubby …

Until this week, I had never been to Palm Springs, California. My parents used to go there every winter for a few years, but that wasn't until I was an adult, an I never had a reason to go there before. This week, Hubby and I hopped a plane and went down to a Hillsdale …
In Japan, the word Kanban means "sign", and those companies who use the Toyota Production System of just-in-time inventory control see and use a lot of Kanbans. I just started a new job at a Japanese-owned company, and I saw a sign in the Ladies restroom which I had not ever seen before. It took …

I thought that 2021 was the worst year, the first of the reign of the dementia-plagued, America-hating, lying Joe Biden. But I was wrong. 2022 turned out to be as bad, or worse. It is depressing, knowing that the elites who run our formerly-strong and free country are doing their best to tear it down. …
With 2022 coming to an end, I guess it's time to look back at what we captured on the digital equivalent of film. With the vast majority of my photos taken with my always-ready iPhone 13 Pro, that's a lot of photos! I'm going to start in the very near past, and work backwards. Today, …

I'm always on the lookout for patterns in the natural, and man-made world around me. And I am always thankful for my trusty iPhone 13 Pro which is always with me to capture intriguing patterns, since you can never know when something will catch the eye. Yesterday afternoon, I had a bit of shopping to …

So Terri gave us alternatives this week. Photos of our town, or our favorite town. I live in Western Washington, in a small city considered a suburb of Seattle. This is the waterfront on Puget Sound, just north of the US Navy Base in Everett. This is Silver Lake, just south of my house. And …
