The pancake special : May 2003 In keeping with the theme of yesterday’s post, I display yet another example of food/beverage yumminess. Uncommon Ground is my absolute favorite breakfast spot of all time. Ask any of my friends and family who visited us in Chicago. Like Chad and Tiffany who […]
Alcoholic goodness
So good it required a photo; Vancouver : August 2003 I had a martini once. At the Blue Angel in Chicago on a cold, rainy afternoon. My friend Mark ordered an entree that actually included your choice of a free drink. The martini was one of the options. The one […]
Champs!
Wrigley Field : May 2003 Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs win! Now that’s the way to play a double-header! It wasn’t televised in these parts yesterday, which was a good thing since I can’t stand to watch under such suspense-filled conditions. I always feel like I’ll be a bad-luck charm […]
Buckets of rain
It’s supposed to be a dog bed Just bought the soundtrack to Moonlight Mile the other day. Now I have Buckets of Rain floating through my head. It’s a pleasant song to get stuck on. Better than the AC/DC tune I had skittering around in there the other day. It’s […]
Why are pets so expensive?
Columbia River Gorge : August 2003 I have no idea what I’m going to do should we ever have children. When I walk into PetsMart (or any other pet store), I walk out having spent too much money on things my pets probably don’t need. Nylabones, fancy dog biscuits, catnip […]
Traveling with Lori (if you dare)
Trilium Lake, Oregon : August 2003 You have to give my husband a lot of credit. I’m not easy to travel with. Take Trilium Lake, for instance. I insisted that we do the Columbia River Gorge/Mt. Hood Loop during our Pacific Northwest jaunt. Which meant driving down to this area […]
Greetings
Apparently this is how Canadians say, “Danger: Electricity”; Grandville Island, Vancouver : August 2003 By my observations, there are subsets of people in our culture. Those who say “Hello” or “Good morning” Those who gleefully say “Hello” or “Good morning” Those who smile in greeting Those who say absolutely nothing […]
Heh…you said “nut”
Scenic beach along Chuckanut Drive, Washington : August 2003 On our way from Vancouver to Seattle, we decided there had to be a better way than traveling Highway 5. So we inquired at the Travel Information Center across the border. The woman pointed us toward Route 11, otherwise known as […]
The reason I never make the bed
Lucy in her favorite spot When I get out of the shower, this is where I find Lucy. Every morning. Snoozing away. So how can I disturb her simply to make the bed? I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’m such a sucker!
The bulb dilemma
Is it the “el” or the “L”? (I vote for the first one) I love the garden center. It’s kind of like the art supply store. I’m not so good at art, but I love all the brushes, pens, papers and gadgets that go into creating masterpieces. I’m getting better […]
