Somehow May is over and once again my first question is: How?!? 🙂 Time continues to fly over here. This month I went back to my ‘home’ of Seattle after a lovely month exploring California and expanded my housesitting capabilities while seeing what it’s like to care for someone else’s home and hot tub 🙂 . So let’s see what I got up to!

I then summarize all of that in my annual goals and accomplishments posts.
