Today Emma and I visited Howarth Park up in Everett for the first time. The park is right on the Sound and contains the city's original swimming beach, as well as many great paths, picnic areas, a playground, and a native plant garden. The off-leash area for dogs ...

Sleepy Emma

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

My folks returned to Colorado today. We had a really nice visit, and Emma loved the extra company and play time. She was still tuckered out when I got home this afternoon. She's usually underfoot when I'm cooking dinner, but tonight she curled up on the couch ...

Grilled Tri Tip

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

This recipe is inspired by one I found here that was very highly rated. My version is scaled down and has my own twists, of course. This turned out quite well, and I'm glad I gave it a try. I can definitely see doing this again over ...

A Fun Day on Whidbey Island

Saturday, June 4th, 2011
