Curing Olives
Any day now we should be getting our box of fresh olives. Olives, really? You ask. Yes really. A few months ago the hubby and I were having daydreams about pulling up the stakes and heading somewhere where we could have an olive orchard and make olive oil. I know it’s very lawyer turned winemaker...
Independence days
We had a lovely relaxing day yesterday, except for the trip to the grocery store. I baked some kaiser rolls, and we had our neighbors over for a little BBQ. Turkey burgers, grilled corn on the cob, tomato and mozzarella salad. And then the show began.. Our neighbors were having a block party and lighting...
Right around the corner
In a week I will be in the glorious misty Pacific Northwest. So excited! I was up before the sun this morning and have already put in an hour and a half of work. It’s crazy how much more motivated I am these days. Work is way more interesting when you’re doing it for yourself. ...

March 1st-
So so close to Spring.. I’m chomping at the bit to get all of this slushy snowy mess out of here, off my puppy and see some green sprouting from the ground. This is always my restless time of year. I did buy a ticket to Portland, OR for the first weekend in April. Yippee!...

Foodie Info-
I have become obsessed with Flo lately. I ate there on Wednesday afternoon and was not disappointed. Thursday night we had a couple friends in town for the night and went to Sabatino’s. I had the most amazing gnocchi I’ve ever had. Our waiter was great and funny. There were strolling musicians serenading people. The...
Come and get it…

Saul
Here he is, the little man, Saul.. He’s our little pride and joy right now, except when he’s chasing the poor Moose, or eating her food or barking or running around like a maniac with a sock or shoe or hat.. He’s a good puppy. Well at least he really really tries to be good...
helicopters and simulated gunfire
yee haw. Kind of an exciting weekend. ER was filming on our street. The hubby and I were nosey and stood on the sidelines hoping to get a peek at Kovach or Forest Whittaker but no such luck. We did see Abby reviewing her lines. We were asked to leave before the helicopter came in...
