I’ve been obsessed with blogging lo these many months, and of course petsitting nabbed the Fixation Award for a while there, but I have another passion you might not know about: flower gardening. It wasn’t always this way. After a decade of vegetable gardening at our previous home, in a backyard patch that was way … Continue reading Blogging vs. Gardening: An Epic Battle for Supremacy

As I mentioned in Part 1: Petsitting, Seattle was in full bloom on Easter weekend, so just walking around the Queen Anne neighborhood was great. But of course, I didn’t go to Seattle just to take care of pets and walk around residential neighborhoods. I wanted to do some sightseeing. With one exception (Pike Place … Continue reading Three Days in Seattle – A Petsitter’s Tale, Part 2: Sightseeing
OK, so I’m trying to book my first flight to Asia and it’s – pick your metaphor: giving me a fit, making me crazy, pushing me over the edge, getting my knickers in a twist. As I’m about to explain, this is no ordinary flight. We are not just flying round trip to some major … Continue reading Things I Learned from my Travel Agent

If you read my recent post on our new membership with an international petsitting company, you know that I couldn’t stop looking at the damn site, and it was causing serious problems. Chores were being neglected, hobbies fell by the wayside, several people ended up in the hospital. OK, I’m exaggerating here (and, with that … Continue reading Three Days in Seattle – A Petsitter’s Tale, Part 1: Petsitting

On the day that my travel blog was born, the husband also mentioned that he’d like to do a related podcast together. NO, was my answer. However, his persistent nagging over these last many months finally wore me down, and here we are. We hope you enjoy our travel-themed banter. Click here for Episode 1 on … Continue reading Podcast Episode 1: The Travel Architect & The Husband Team Up to Chat About Travel (Mostly)
A recent chain of events (a record-breaking polar vortex which led to a four-day school cancellation which led to a reorganization of the photo cupboard) brought to light a long-forgotten photo album of our first Southwest road trip. Turns out the husband and I (but mostly the husband – you’ll see his massive camera in several … Continue reading A Photo Journey: Death Valley National Park
A note to my readers: As I am in Seattle doing my very first petsit this weekend, I have handed over control of this week’s post to the husband, in what he calls a “blog takeover” and what the rest of the world calls a “guest post.” Yes, last week’s post was something of a … Continue reading Not As Advertised: Bikepacking the San Rafael Swell in Utah
