Flashing Lights and Noise

It is an awfully chiily night for road work and I can't figure out exactly what they are doing but they just keep going back and forth along the barrier.

The gift of rain

Just looked out the window and saw this amazing sight!  The Kent Valley has never looked so good. :-)  If you look very closely you can see a very faint second rainbow to the left of the very distinct one.

Happy New Year!

Six blocks from the Space Needle and we can't see a damn thing thanks to the weather. It was still a great celebration with friends! :-)

Pies!!

Christmas cooking began tonight with brine prep and pie baking. Made 2 Pumpkin, 1 Apple, 1 Bourbon Pecan and 1 Cranberry Mincemeat for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations this week. The house smells amazing!

Homemade Ravioli

My first attempt at making homemade ravioli. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

Everywhere we go today...

I am being tempted by Egg Nog lattes. I will be strong, I will be strong.

Stan 'The Man'

The inside of The 5 Spot in full St Louis theme mode. I've got the perfect seat to enjoy the Stan Musial poster.

Cannon Beach Sunset

Watching the sun sink in the sky and sipping a glass of wine. What a glorious day!

It has been a long week...

I'm starting my second Starbucks beverage of the day and can't wait for the work week to be done.

Crepe View

Space Needle atop Lumen is our view from our wine and crepe evening at Citizen.

Counting the minutes...

Until the start of Wicked. Pic taken from our seats. :-)

Red Velvet Heaven

Cheesecake Factory's newest creation mixing two of my favorite things, red velvet cake and cheesecake.

Oh so yummy!

From the vine to the pot

Just finishing making a GIANT pot of spaghetti sauce with tomatoes that I grew in my garden.

Fantasy Island Falls

Wailua Falls made famous by the opening credits of the tv show Fantasy Island.

Waimea Canyon

We spent the day exploring the canyon, what a remarkable and beautiful place.

Sunset Dining

Celebrating a belated birthday with Don at the Beach House in Koloa.

Goodbye Bonfire

Spending the final night around a bonfire with the HFH crew.

Where is my ogre baby?

My favorite feature of "Blue Ox" the tool van is this alien baby hanged from the front grill. It screams, giggles, convulses when you run the van into something, great feature.

Build site

Looking a whole lot different than it did at the beginning of the week.

Kauai Sunset

Watching the sun set as we head back to Port Allen.
