Guilty pleasures in Vermont

August 10, 2022

So Vermont is known for all of its outdoor activities. It is so easy to be active and enjoy the outdoors up there. That being said, we also enjoyed the food. We had delicious, freshly picked corn. Our guilty pleasure was Gifford’s Sea Salt Caramel Truffle. Yum and yum! We went through two quarts in […]

By a burbling brook

August 3, 2022

We took another trip to Dorset for hiking at Cutler Memorial Trail. Once again, we missed the trail sign and continued on the road. Hah, we were so far into the wilds of Vermont that even GPS didn’t have the roads. No worries though, we drove by some very scenic farms and saw lots of […]

Quirky time

July 27, 2022

We did a road trip to Brattleboro Vermont. It was fun to visit a town, in addition to hiking in nature. I love towns like this! The best way to describe the vibe here is “quirky.” We had a delicious lunch at The Works Cafe. I had smoked salmon on a bagel with cream cheese. […]

The view from the top

July 20, 2022

The top of a beautiful mountain range that is. So Mr. Ken and I are back in Vermont. The first day of our vacation, we decided to take a hike at the Owl’s Head Trailhead in Dorset, Vermont. This trail takes you up to the Gettysburg Quarry, where marble blocks were cut for gravestones for […]

The latest adventure of our guys

July 13, 2022

Our little guys, Sir Angus, Toby and Sir Oliver, provide us with lots of smiles. Here they are in their latest adventure. Mr. Ken bought a new birdbath since our old one was cracked. The guys took one look at it and decided it is perfect for a swimming pool so in they jumped! What […]

Happy 4th of July!

July 6, 2022

I just love summer celebrations and I especially love the 4th of July. I was out doing errands the other day and came across this interesting sight. This inspiring field of flags was recently put up near a local playground. This is why I love going for walks; you never know what interesting and unexpected […]

Reasons to get up in the morning

June 29, 2022

I look forward to every day. And this isn’t because I have a big purpose in my life, it is because of the simple joys I feel every morning. What I love about my mornings: Coffee! We bought these pretty mugs as souvenirs on last year’s trip to Vermont. Every time I use one, I […]

First kayak adventure of the season

June 22, 2022

So the happy day arrived; Mr. Ken and I were all set to go kayaking. In deference to my shoulder injury and to us getting older in general, Mr. Ken bought a nifty new kayak rack system. With this new system, you only have to lift the kayak to about hip height, place it on […]

Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee

June 8, 2022

As most of you know, our beloved guys, Sir Oliver, Toby and Sir Angus, hail from across the pond. They love Queen Elizabeth and are so excited to be celebrating her Platinum Jubilee. Here are the guys watching their beloved Queen as she steps out on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. Here are the guys […]

30 years ago . . .

June 1, 2022

I can’t believe it was 30 years ago that dear Mr. Ken and I were joined in holy matrimony. It seems like only ten or so years ago. I wouldn’t change any minute of it. I met Mr. Ken on a blind date. We ate dinner at the Prestige Diner in New Jersey. I knew […]
