Coeur d’ Alene
Great company (Rob, Regan, and Paul). Time to relax (left the computer at home). The opportunity to knit. Spectacular meals (thank you, Regan and Paul). Delicious wine (at times, maybe too much, but no complaints here). Bananagrams. Inspired to take … Continue reading

Dinner plans
Tonight, we are trying these baked potatoes. They look scrumptious. I think the picture below has been pinned (along with a link to the recipe) at least a couple thousand times on Pinterest. With them, we will have chicken breasts … Continue reading

Foodies on a diet

Blogland
Frustrated with computers and technology at the moment… Lately, my internet connection speed cycles between slower than dial-up to acceptable. There was a post started…and then it was gone. Probably better that way. Wordy. Boring. Went … Continue reading

What’s for dinner?
Thanks to Good Seed Organics, I have lots of fresh vegetables. Most of my weekly allotment was used in a salad last night. Store bought lettuce, especially from the bag, is sooo sad. Tonight, I roasted the broccoli (from our … Continue reading

More on Coeur d’Alene: maybe we should just move there and get it over with? :-)
One busy day on the lake, we went out in Paul and Regan’s boat as the sun was setting. The water was (surprisingly) placid. The sky was beautiful with orange, pink, purple, and blue hues. We even jumped in the … Continue reading

Today we cooked…
Happy to say that we started our day with a 5-mile “long” run. This used to be a short run…but we have been a wee bit lazy lately. Time to prep for our 1/2 marathon in November. No excuses. This … Continue reading

Santa Barbara Getaway
Back from a great getaway to Santa Barbara. Awesome weather. Convertible cars were designed with Santa Barbara weather in mind. As usual, we enjoyed our stay in Santa Barbara…maybe even a little too much. Here are some of the places … Continue reading

Paris Tour 2011
After being in the super clean and uber-efficient Switzerland, getting used to Paris took a little adjustment. The Metro is efficient and a great mode of transportation, but the stairways and underground thoroughfares smelled like urine. P-U. We never saw … Continue reading

Productive day, delicious dinner
Ripped out a bunch of lawn…labor intensive and soooo rewarding. Made some space for a magnolia tree. Planted two flowering plum trees and modified the “landscape.” I spent the whole day in the yard. Thus, my cheeks are rosy…and my … Continue reading
