Sunday night Jeremy and I carved our pumpkins that we picked out the weekend before at the farm. I wanted to wait a bit because pumpkins here seem to rot really fast and I wanted my pumpkin to last at least until the ‘Trunk of Treat’ at the church parking lot next week (Blog to [...]
A few weeks ago I got the decorating bug (perhaps I always have the decorating bug). I decided to take the day off of work and paint our bedroom. I’ve been pestering Jeremy for awhile about painting the room, and we had gone thru a few color choices but finally settled on this turquoise color. [...]
Despite what Washingtonians say, crisp fall days are rare here. Usually they are drippy, damp fall days. But friday and saturday was a treat. The sun was in full glory and I celebrated with the leaves the time we had to dry up and soak up some much needed sun rays. Jeremy and I decided to [...]
With my luck in the kitchen these days, I think Culinary Capers is going to be a regularly appearing column. I’ll share successes and failures in my quest to become a decent cook.

I’m not sure what the catalyst to start cooking “real” meals [...]
Did you know that at a Weird Al Yankovic concert you can be exposed to at least 9 different cultures at a time? Amish, Grunge, White & Nerdy, Star Wars Fanatics. And that’s not saying anything about the people sitting around you! Jeremy and I met up with Nathan and Holly at the Puyallup Fair [...]
We’ve been meaning to set this Blog up for some time now. I guess really it’s just me who’s been wanting to Blog. I’ve so much enjoyed reading the blog’s of my friends and family. It makes me feel more connected since I’m way up here in Seattle. So I thought I’d feel even more [...]
