How do you hide? It is a fresh new year ahead of us. It is time for me to finalize my plan and put it into action. Time is running short! I know that I will soon be getting that phone call that says, “Hi Barb. It is time for our quarterly review to see […]
Some things change… Some things stay the same…
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! It started snowing last Thursday in Seattle and hasn’t stopped. As I look out the window now, on Sunday evening, it is still swirling around. Very unusual for this neck of the woods. But absolutely beautiful! We took Tucker outside to experience his first romp in […]
Today was a big day. We took our family pictures. It had been several years since we had family photos taken, and I knew that it was time to do it again. The kids are now 21 and 18 (in 2.5 weeks!) and this might be the last opportunity to take photos while it is […]

We were doing our usual teasing and joking with each other. “I’m the better sister”. “No..no..I am the better sister!” My sister and I are not only […]
A big part of my plan in going home for Thanksgiving, was to pull off a Surprise 50th Birthday Party for my sister, Mary. Amazingly enough, we were able to hold the secret. She didn’t have a clue! The whole weekend came about because of a conversation that I had with my sister the week […]
I am now sitting at the Denver airport watching the snow swirl around outside. Soon I will be returning to Seattle and returning back to real life… What an amazing trip this was. Friends, family, laughter, fun. Who knew, when I made plans a short week ago to make this trip, that it would be […]
Wonderful success! She had no idea we were throwing her a party. I can’t believe that we were all able to keep our mouths shut! We are tired…more about the fabulous weekend later! Stay tuned!
