Dodging the snow bullet

January 27, 2016

So I live in New England.  So we get snow in New England.  Last year we broke a record for snowfall; we got something like 108 inches total.  There was a blizzard warning for this past weekend and let’s just say us New Englanders were having deja vu about snow. Well, instead of this: We […]

Cookies!

So I’m not much of a cook or a baker. Let’s just say that this goes way back, starting when my best friend Lisa and I attempted to make pretzels from a recipe in Seventeen Magazine. The end result? See below. In all fairness, Seventeen Magazine posted a revised recipe the next month, explaining the […]

My latest obsession – Fitbit

January 13, 2016

My favorite Christmas present was a Fitbit. I got the simplest model, the Fitbit Zip, but it suits me just fine. Of course, who am I kidding, eventually I will be getting the fancier models that even track your sleep. Note the cute little smiley face on the display. If the Fitbit is happy, then […]

A walk through my hometown

I love to walk and part of my morning routine is a walk through my town. Even when I walk the same route, there is always something new and interesting to see. I thought I would share some of the sights with you. These pictures are taken with my little smartphone. We have a small […]

Christmas vacation week

December 30, 2015

I decided to do something a bit different this year. I decided to view the week between Christmas and New Year’s a real vacation. I used to love this week off when I was in school; you had the time to enjoy the Christmas presents and time to look forward to the New Year. We […]

In the spirit of Christmas, I thought you would enjoy this gingerbread house. It is a rendition of a local farm stand. Isn’t it cool? There are 8 Santa Clauses gathered in this piece. So far, I was only able to find 4 of them. I think the other 4 are hidden inside. I am […]

A walk through Cambridge

One of the many reasons that I love what I am doing right now is that I get to travel frequently to Cambridge, my favorite city in Massachusetts. I take the train into South Station, Boston and then I walk all the way to Harvard Square. It takes me about 90 minutes. I thought you […]

There is always a way

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. And no, it’s not because of the food, but because of the emphasis on being thankful and being around family and friends. I am always reflective now too, since I have such happy memories of spending Thanksgiving with my Dad’s side of the family. They lived in Plymouth, which is […]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  I love being with friends and family.  I especially love taking the time out to be grateful for all the blessings in my life. Every time I see this picture of cute little Pilgrim chipmunks gathered around a pie, I smile. I smile because: I love Thanksgiving I love chipmunks […]

What happens when you write a lot

November 18, 2015

I love to write. I started out doing it just for fun and because it relaxed me. My writing has given me so much in return. Can we say free stuff from Amazon? Mr. Ken is especially happy when I get free stuff like the candy pictured above. You may notice that one candy has […]
