The time change had us up bright and early, so we ventured out to the Seattle “attraction” that was sure to be open that early…. Pike Place. We were there so early that there wasn’t even a line at the “original Starbucks”, so Chloe’s dream came true. We wandered the halls of the market as…

Create, Project 45, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. June’s main theme was Blogs. I checked on old…

As much as I love being in a big city, I also appreciate living in a small town. A place where you run into neighbors when you go out. When the chief of police gives you a hug as does the fire chief. Where you can volunteer and feel you have a hand in making…

Today is World UFO Day and I Forgot Day. Up at 6:30 and tackled the long list of things to get done. After filing, cleaning, organizing, walking the dog, and all the rest, I was finally done with the bulk of my list by 2:30. Chloe left around 10am to go to the MLK Center…
After two weeks of scrubbing, purging, shopping, and making piles, the house is once again organized! As careful as I am to try to keep things organized all year long, piles grow. Things accumulated. Organization turns to chaos. Clean gets dirty. For the start of the school year, I like to have a clean, organized…

Chloe had an eyebrow appointment, so I took her to Fabu while Barbara took Phelix geocaching. When we got back, we went to…
As we sat down to plan our family/college tour trip to the Pacific Northwest, I had it in my mind that I really wanted to stay on a houseboat during our time in Seattle. While it took a little searching and was certainly not the cheapest option, we found a very conveniently located houseboat for…
