I have been to Wallingford and saw on the map that Fremont was nearby, therefore I suggested Hubster drove and we parked on the street near to a Record Shop - Jive Times for Mama S to look in for a Journey Record, then we could see the Fremont Troll too! BIG MISTAKE! Parking was… Continue reading Fremont Troll 1/24/16 and Leavenworth Road Trip 1/25/16
First visitor to our new home! 1/14/16 -1/29/16
The last couple of weeks have been crazy busy in the Gordon household! We welcomed Mama S, who came for her first visit over here and her first holiday abroad in a little while! She is with us for 2 weeks, and hope she'll have a great time. Edit: she did!! It took us a while… Continue reading First visitor to our new home! 1/14/16 -1/29/16
West Summit Snoqualmie 12/30/15
Bam! Snowboards are out, and we are ready! It took less than an hour from ours to West Summit. We went along the I-90 and took my baby girl for a spin to the mountains. She did brilliantly...didn't get to try out her out in snow mode as the roads were clear the entire way… Continue reading West Summit Snoqualmie 12/30/15
Boxing Day 2015
Boxing Day morning was a slow one. For some reason - probably because we stayed overnight at friends - we were up early. Way to early! Before Igloo and Sausage woke up. So after a shower I had fun playing their piano. I really miss having a piano to play around on, but at least… Continue reading Boxing Day 2015
Christmas Day 2015
This was not our first Christmas Day spent away from our families. We agreed a couple of years ago when we first moved in together that we would alternate between a Christmas for Us and a Christmas with Family. We are lucky because both our families - parents and siblings on both sides - live in… Continue reading Christmas Day 2015
12K’s of Christmas 12/20/15
Well I thought it would be a good idea to do the 12K's of Christmas in Kirkland. It would up my distance to 12km approx. 7.4 miles I think, and that would set me up well for January and being almost at my 10 miles. This was on Sunday 20th December and there were some… Continue reading 12K’s of Christmas 12/20/15
Snowflake Lane 12/13/15
It had been mentioned that we should check out Snowflake Lane. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Festivities, happiness, Christmassy, Princesses, Drummers, Nutcrackers, Fairies, Free Candy!!!! Part of the Road is closed to traffic and Drummers and Majorettes dance and play in the middle for about 20 minutes. Fake snow in the form of bubbles float down and… Continue reading Snowflake Lane 12/13/15
Redmond Reindeer Romp 12/05/15
As part of my sudden (?) interest in running I thought the best way to stay motivated was to have goals and therefore I needed runs/races to complete regularly. Joining East Side Runners and joining them on Saturdays and during the week is great, but being last all the time began to annoy me. It put me… Continue reading Redmond Reindeer Romp 12/05/15
Kirkland Tree Lighting 11/29/15
I joined a Be Neighbourly group on facebook for our local area. It has been an interesting read at times, but also a great source of information. Places to go and visit, things and activities in the direct area, and other aspects of the larger area in which we live. Kirkland Tree Lighting 2015 was… Continue reading Kirkland Tree Lighting 11/29/15
Kirkland 5km Turkey Trot 11/22/15
Hubster did not partake this morning. He was feeling very fragile and rough from yesterdays run, even after a huge brunch with Igloo. (I'll think of a proper name for him but didn't want to just write "I"!) I picked up my race number and free t.shirt a couple of days before the race, which… Continue reading Kirkland 5km Turkey Trot 11/22/15
