Walking downstairs today and realized my Christmas wreath is still hanging on the door. Definitely dead. Really dead.

I will be forever grateful that my (stunningly gorgeous) daughter refuses to post pics of herself online (digital footprints are a thing, mom). So it’s up to me to post the occasional photo of her doing amazing things lol.

If you’ve never seen/used an Ikebana vase (Japanese) and you are a flower lover, you are missing out. Cut blooms last 3x longer and they are simply gorgeous. Go get one (or 5 like I did). They also make perfect gifts.

My dahlias have started to bloom.

Found two regal lilies in my garden tonight. Warning: google tells me they are especially poisonous for cats.

He thinks he is hidden. Orange cats are idiots.

I can never quite reconcile the signs versus actual surroundings here in Western Washington

This kindle unlimited thing really is a mixed bag. But if we aren’t allowed to meow on guard anymore, this might fill the need.

Co-pilot worn out.

Name it

Another kind of flight. I think I’m better at the airplane kind.

Obligatory road trip photo

Big alert for anyone who needs a Mother’s Day gift for a book lover. (I overpaid but both the ceramic vase and the planter are also on Amazon for you Prime members out there!) Stay tuned for aviation-related gift ideas.

Just my luck: smooth as glass. 😑

After months and months of solid rain, the sun returns to the Pacific Northwest! It will take a full week to scrub the poor filthy boat and chase away the seals. You know where I’ll be. 😑

Now she’ll forever complain about Snoqualmie Pass.

Northern Lights SEA to AMS 💙

Not a meme kinda gal, gotta admit. But who is with me here?

Spent a lot of time in Germany over the course of my long flying career, but this is the first time I’ve been for multiple weeks over Christmas. Pretty stinking magical.

Where my attitude problem originates.

Taking odds on how long before the HOA would send a sharply worded letter.

I was so close….only 1.5 yrs away from raising two children with zero school detentions. This isn’t how I envisioned my parenting record being smashed…I’d have thought she was more inventive.

They say animals slowly adopt their human’s personality. Slightly worried.

Currently caught up in some dastardly time warp in which I am old enough to have a daughter in flight training. Someone save me.
