Some of us have fitness related New Year’s goals, some of us do not. In looking at my week this week, it was all about food! (And no, I am NOT a foodie by any means.) So Mr. Ken and I made our monthly excursion to Market Basket. Even though it takes about 20 minutes […]

I live in New England and it gets COLD in the winter. I have to force myself to go out walking in the cold. But once I’m done, I feel great and energized. Back in the “good old days,” if I wanted to go out for a walk/run all I had to do was pull […]

Happy New Year! Now you all know that my dear Mr. Ken loves all things technology. So, not surprisingly he treated himself to the latest Google Pixel phone. Never mind that his old phone was only a year old. And he treated that thing very carefully. Now, if this makes Mr. Ken happy, then I’m […]

VT - West River Trail

During some of our time in Vermont, we were fortunate to stay very close to the West River Trail. I went out there every morning for my walks. The West River Trail’s story is the conversion of the historic West River Railroad that ran between Brattleboro, Vermont and South Londonderry, Vermont. It was a 36-mile […]

VT Weston Priory - Maze

As part of our travels around Vermont, we always stop and visit the Weston Priory. It is such a peaceful and beautiful place. It is located at the top of a small hill, in the midst of the woods. The Weston Priory was founded in 1953 by Abbot Leo Rudloff in Weston, Vermont. It grew into […]
