Birthday Weekend

What a great weekend!  My birthday was Saturday, and birthdays around here always drag out for a week or so, although this year I was able to rein it in to just a weekend.  On Friday night, Paul and I had a date night at Earl's Kitchen + Bar.  I had been wanting to go there for years and we finally did and it was great. We got the calamari appetizer and then I had steak and tortellini and Paul had a southwest chicken salad.  Everything was delicious.



Saturday morning the four of us went to brunch at the neighborhood Irish Pub.  That was really great as well.  Then the girls went out to get me a coffee from Huxdotter and some flowers.


Paul had got me flowers, too, and I also had some delivered from my best friend.


So many flowers!

In the afternoon Paul and I took Kona for a nice walk and it was a beautiful sunny day.  The whole week has been really nice.  Then we went to Paul's mom's for dinner and she had got my favorite cake from Costco.


Today we just ran some errands and then watched the NFC Championship game and were thrilled that the Seahawks won!  They are heading to the Super Bowl for the 4th time ever and the first since 2015!




That was the icing on the cake of my fabulous birthday weekend!

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...
