Reflections on this past week

March 1, 2017

It was a year ago on March 6 that my dear mother passed away. She had been pretty healthy, except for the week before she died. That week was the hardest, saddest week of my life. In some ways it was harder than the week after she died. See my reflections: A post to honor […]

Having fun with tires

February 22, 2017

I had to get two new tires for my car. What did I do? Of course I asked Mr. Ken, the car guy, to help me. His words to me were “Toyo.” What? Is that short hand for Toyota? Nope, it’s a type of tire. Since small cars have small tires, the tires should be […]

Welcome to February

February 15, 2017

Here in New England, we have been lucky this winter. That is until last week, when a series of snowstorms started. Here’s how things looked on Thursday. These aren’t the clearest pictures, but there was no way I was going to stand outside and take pictures. These were all taken through the window. The frontyard. […]

It’s not all or nothing

February 8, 2017

Blame it on my foot surgery. Since December, I have not been able to get up at my usual 4:30 am. For the first few weeks, I could use the pain medications as my excuse since they made me really sleepy. Then, it was my body healing. But it has been two months now. Maybe […]

Life with a geek

January 18, 2017

Have you ever wondered what life is like with a little geek? Well, let me clue you in. 1. Pictures of weird things. Mr. Ken was very excited to tell me about his latest gadget for the kitchen. It is a combination charger and outlet! How exciting. Of course, one may wonder why you would […]

Answer to another what is it?

January 11, 2017

I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seats, anxiously awaiting the answer to the question posed last week, Another what is it? Well, here it is! This is a temperature and pressure gauge for our gas furnace. What???? Who knew. Last week, while I was busy browsing the internet, er […]

What is love?

December 28, 2016

What is love? It can be described in many ways, a feeling, an emotion, a thought, an action. . . For me, love is all about the little things. Last week, I came downstairs and found a wonderful surprise. Dear Mr. Ken had put up our tree, with the lights and all. He even set […]

Joyful Christmas

December 21, 2016

I try to silence the chatter this time of year, which is hard to do since we are surrounded by “noise.” “Buy this! Buy that! Time is running out.” What happens if you don’t buy anything? Will the world stop? Probably not. My dear cousin, who is like a sister to me, knows I love […]

Where there’s a will, there’s a way

December 14, 2016

Day by day my foot is getting better and healing. I am now able to hobble around without crutches and without much pain. I am still trying to be a model patient though and not overdo things. I am excited to report I have found a good setup in my exercise room. Note the cool […]

The aftermath

December 7, 2016

Well, so far so good with the foot surgery. I was pretty uncomfortable over the weekend, but the pain pills made me so sleepy that it is all a blur. I actually didn’t find it all that hard to sit still. Today I awoke and had no pain, yay! I am able to move around […]
