Common sight when I am on the road traveling for business.

I need tea, my lap top, my plug in Targus 10 key attachment, and the coloring book+map pencils to not only survive, but thrive.

I am blessed to have to have 2 sets of friends who share their farm fresh, organic eggs with me. 

Somewhat makes me want to build a coop in the backyard and get my own chickens too.

Spanky and me on an early morning flight from Seattle to Portland. 

The rest of the country is snowed or iced in and the Pacific Northwest, for the most part, is sunny and in the 40s.

One of the many reasons I prefer my Kindle2 aka Kenny to a printed book. 

Don't get me wrong, I love the feel and smell of a book but when I'm traveling and on the go, I prefer my Kindle any day of the week.

I refer to this store as my crack house. 

Another January rainy day, 10% off all purchases, and the desire for my creative soul to be fed led me here Saturday, January 15.

All in jeans.

Each letting a bit of personal style shine through in their choice of footwear.

The ground they've walked on and the places they've gone have more to tell than we'll ever know.

One of the many pairs of mittens I wear in the fall and winter.

These have been keeping me warm when I venture outside to take a walk in the brisk Pacific Northwest air.
