This darn puzzle took us 7 flippin months to do.  We received it from my Mom who got it from someone else. It ended up with one missing piece. We even had to use a magnifying glass to complete the darn thing. There is itty bitty writing on the puzzle. I am seriously going to put this darn puzzle in the TRASH.

Is anyone else doing puzzles?

There was a rare snowy owl spotted in a Seattle neighborhood. We spotted one in 2012 in our neighborhood.

Is Gratitude the Secret to Happiness?

Can you Find All the Squirrels?  It is a bit tricky

People have tracked down the mystery monolith - I kinda want to go find it

Sourdough Update

We had sourdough waffles for breakfast on Thanksgiving. I am continue to make some loaves every week.

Weekly Roll

Anyone else's hands drying out from the sanitizer and colder temps. I saw this Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion Sanitizer and I am giving it a go. I thought it was a genius idea. My hands feel great.

I am another year older. Yeah me I made another trip around the sun. I really had an awesome day and even better week. I can't complain. We finally have our family under one roof and that makes me ecstatic. 

What I Read November

 Well my reading has slowed to crawl.  But I did manage to do some reading. I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone else is reading.

The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves

Annika Rose is a English Major at the University of Illinois. She is awkward in social situations. Her roommate helps her out a lot. She enjoys the chess club and meets a boy there she likes. This boy Jonathon brings out the best in her but something happens (read the book) and their relationship is severed.  This is a book about a female character with Asperger's - high functioning autism. I thought the story was told well. It is a bit steamy so if that isn't your cup of tea this book isn't for you.

31 Bests - Days 1-4

 A lot of people do gratitude posts for the month of November. I saw a post on Modern Story Instagram about another instagrammer - Emilybellefreeman whose grandmother kept a list of 31 Bests.  These were things that lifted her heart. I thought I could do that with the project life app (scrapbooking app). In the screenshot above it explains a bit how to make a scrapbook page in project life. So here is the beginning of my 31 Bests.

Wordy Wednesday

 

I think my current letterboard covers alot. Like not today Karen and Not Today Satan etc. 

Weekly Roll - Happy November

Found the leaf above on a hike in the Deception Park area. It was just stuck in the branches. It feels very Halloween.

 I engaged in some experimental make ahead meals this week. I made taquitos.  They were delicious.  I made a double batch. I think I have 45 frozen taquitos. This is mainly for my son's as I shouldn't eat lactose intolerant and it contains onion, garlic, and chili's so it is out for my husband. I think I could make them relatively husband safe by omitting a lot of stuff. They would be somewhat bland. 

Did you survive the full moon Halloween?

Remote Learning Update

Nothing really exciting happened but this coming week we will be half way through the semester.  That is something, right. Above is my son's fish tank he put together for his aquaculture class.

Sourdough Update

Just have been minding the dough.

I have been practicing some Christmas music on my keyboard. I know it is way early BUT it is making me happy. It is a sorry not sorry kinda thing.
