Here at 963, we’ve started the new year off right by baking more bread. And by more bread, I mean fresh loaves of rosemary ciabatta or french baguettes every second day or so. That’s because I finally found some easy peasy recipes for bread machine ciabatta and bread machine baguettes, both of which keep turning [...]
The tree has been up since early December, and it’s made complete when Red lies in front of it on his sheepskin. Happy dog. The only thing that would make him happier is a cookie.
I do believe that it was at this time three years ago, when through a strange turn of events, my sister and I ended up traveling to Zurich, and then to Strasbourg for the annual Christmas market, and then to Paris. Good times.

We’ve turned the corner here at 963, and summer has slowly given way to a beautiful fall. It’s still warm, but the mornings are cool enough to make you want to wear a bit of a sweater and get a hot something from the local coffee shop. Fall also means our thoughts slowly turn to [...]
The Outside Comes In

One of the worker bees was kind enough to think these came from the garden, which I guess they could have when our lilies were blooming, but no, they were a surprise from The Other One, the big sweetie. And you’ll see how we’re now followed around by tomatoes wherever we go.
