Double or Nothing

Work has been tightening up as the end of the fiscal year draws closer. I’ve got some trainings coming up which will be nice for a change of scenery, but hard in terms of workload. I’m already putting in a lot of extra time. This week I’m up in beautiful Humboldt Bay. [...]

Yo Yo

Fall crept into my room last night. And the wind blew slightly chilly today.
I harvested my first corn today.

It’s really the sole reason I garden. Sure, fresh basil for pesto is great, yummy lettuce and carrots are delish, even the green beans have been hitting the spot lately. But corn on the [...]

El Precio

I love garage sales. And all the variants: yard sale, estate sale, moving sale. Some of my most warm childhood memories are of visiting my grandpa in the land of THE best second-hand sales, Nevada. Clamoring out of the car, opening the covered porch door, and running into my Pa with hugs [...]

Who Can It B Now

Someone that works there is a pure Genius.
Tonite’s radio show is brought to u by the letter C.
That’s for Cake, made by yers truley. Substituted coffee for water and added some toffee pieces and it is delish when eaten at 10 pm. U could even eat Cake until midnite. It’s a good [...]

R.R. Weekend

Pump up your tubes. Another day lost, this time on the Russian River. I headed south with another gal from the office to meet up with a numero uno birthday girl. Pumped up our tubes and scoped out our entry points on a couple of maps. Seems like one map was [...]
