Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
I've loaded all of the Seattle pictures onto my Flickr page for August Moms Gatherings. Seattle starts at the photo I posted here from the Phoenix airport. A few featured highlights: Pumpkins and peppers from the farmers market. In keeping with the fall theme 🙂 I toyed with putting that up in my blog banner... Continue Reading →
We started off at Pikes Place Market to sit in a cafe and have breakfast and plan out the day. We ended up having Breakfast in Seattle where they filmed a scene in Sleepless in Seattle: Internet connection at the hotel is spotty so I wont upload any other pictures from here, but we are...

One picture from my travel day - rocky hills at the Phoenix ariport that caught my eye. It was a gorgeous day and that meant flying out I had a magnificent view of the grand canyon. Also loved seeing the Arizona Diamondbacks stadium (the BOB) from the air. I think I also saw a spring... Continue Reading →
I am off to see August moms. Including, but not limited to, some of those who blog: LSM Alto2 Rambling Mom Doc Thelma (private) - A reunion virgin! and Squib my very bestest roommate friend. We will have great food and conversation interspersed with some museum and sightseeing and shopping time. Camera batteries are charged.... Continue Reading →
Ok, not really. I just set this to post when my plane takes off 🙂 Grilled Salmon - ok, broiled in my version. Some garlic dill butter with capers sprinkled on top at the very end. So this one took me all of 10 minutes. I added some peas and a crusty roll on which... Continue Reading →
Las Vegas is in all caps because I am trying to override something else in my brain. You see, there was a group of school aged kids on the airplane last night. Going home from a field trip. We were landing at night which is always the best as you can see all the garish... Continue Reading →
Ah, the hula hoop. Making a comeback. Our summer parties at work usually include a hula hoop contest (won by me last year). I have an advantage though - I've always had a knack for it and now I have a 5lb weighted hoop here at home that I use as part of my exercise... Continue Reading →
The shuttle will be here in about 90 mins. It's been a manic 48 hours of course. Work is blowing up. Talk about a horrid time to be gone. The auditors arrive on the 20th. They want schedules done one week before and yesterday my staff member who is pregnant was told they would do... Continue Reading →
Ooof - hard to sit through sessions when you only had 5.5 hours of sleep! Thank heavens I didn't really drink much Monday night so I was only tired, but still! Awesome sessions though! Also saw some white ibis and swallow tailed kites (those are cool birds!). Bailed on the Hootie concert though - just... Continue Reading →
It's pitch dark at 6:30am in Orlando with the time change.I have never been to a convention and spent so much damn time on buses!!Birding here would be awesome. I saw a bald eagle and a pair of cardinals.A combination of lack of full sleep and proper meals from Sat-Mon yielded a VERY spacey me!... Continue Reading →
