What is Mr. Ken up to now?

November 14, 2018

So I come home from doing errands and I see this sitting in the middle of our driveway – a traffic cone! What is going on here? Did Mr. Ken suddenly get a job with the local highway department and thus decided to practice placing cones? What do you all think? Answer to be revealed […]

Happy times

November 7, 2018

It has been a while since I have posted a picture of chipmunks and I know all of you have missed that. Our beloved chipmunks have gone underground for their big winter sleep, so I have to make do with pictures of chipmunks. My dear cousin sent me this card and I just had to […]

Some lessons learned from Zumba

October 17, 2018

This post isn’t about becoming a better dancer. For those of you wondering what the heck is Zumba. Zumba is a mix of Latin and international dance. It’s the latest fitness craze. Alas, my Zumba dancing looks more like a spastic cockroach waving its legs. Fitness is my passion and I always enjoy learning about […]

Comments Off on Insights from a John F. Kennedy Library visit

My two best friends and I are on a library kick and we’re trying to get more culture in our lives. This past weekend we visited the John F. Kennedy Library in South Boston. We initially planned to go because they were going to have a special exhibit about Jackie Kennedy Onassis, not so much […]

Last Sunday was supposed to be, “a beautiful sunny day.” (Quote taken directly from the weather forecast). So we decided to go kayaking at our favorite spot. There was a big cloud cover, but we thought […]

Guess who is coming to dinner?

September 12, 2018

Or maybe I should say, guess what is for dinner? I looked out the window and this sight greeted me – a rather large wild turkey family! Those are some big birds. I tried to shoo them out of our backyard, but they just sat there and looked at me. What interesting backyard scenes have […]

Buying glasses on Mars

August 29, 2018

Well, not really doing that on Mars, but a recent event reminded me of the book, “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.” Mr. Ken needed a new pair of glasses. He has had his new prescription for over 8 months, but until he broke his current pair, he didn’t get around to […]

Procrastination

August 22, 2018

Normally I am not one for procrastination. I am more of a “get it done” type of person. 1. Choosing a gravestone. As most of you know, my Mom passed away a little over two years ago. I have yet to get a gravestone for her. In my defense, the family plot where she is […]
