Monday morning update:
I have never seen this much snow in the Pacific Northwest. I guess this is only appropriate for the first day of winter. I’m holding everyone who dreamt of a white Christmas personally responsible!
Update: I took the first picture this morning. The second one was taken about 5:00 PM. This snow is [...]

I had such a wonderful time at Art & Soul. It’s always over too soon. The people who attend are some of the most wonderful women I’ve met. And the classes are always great. I don’t know why, but I was extremely tired the whole five days. I was feeling foggy and slow; not creative [...]

While I was in Seattle, I drove by some places I knew growing up (we moved to Oregon when I was 14).
Here is a picture of the Federal Way house. It is really cute from the outside.

Yesterday Steve and I decided to go out and have some bar food, a couple beers, and watch the Portland Trail Blazers game. Unfortunately they couldn’t pull off the win but they are still fun to watch. They never give up and play hard. Go Blazers!
Afterwards we decided to go to Washington Square. The first [...]

I am so ready for spring. Living here in Oregon, it’s so grey and dreary this time of year. I feel drained both physically and emotionally. This happens to me every winter. One bright spot happened yesterday when I was at lunch. The sun peeked out behind the clouds and the geese at the park [...]

I know what you’re thinking. It’s true, I am a little off balance today. But I am so thankful for living in the Pacific Northwest with the rain and all that goes along with it. The days are short now but soon they start getting longer. It’s always a nice time of year to throw [...]
