Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving

Comments Off on Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving

I couldn’t resist a chipmunk picture for my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. The adventures of Ken and Nancy will return next week. Once again I attempted to bake pumpkin pies. I gave one of my baked pies to my cousin last year and she is still alive, so I guess all is well. They don’t look […]

Where in the world are Ken and Nancy?

A bit of a mystery this week. Can you guess where Mr. Ken and I vacationed last week? The only hint I will give is that it is in the mountains and I am now tempted to start saying, “Y’all” instead of “You all.” All will be revealed next week, so stay tuned. In the […]

Comments Off on Hidden Boston – Bay Village

Boston is such a great city for walking. A few weeks ago, a dear friend took me for a walking tour of Bay Village in Boston. Bay Village is the smallest officially recognized neighborhood in Boston and is home to about 1300 residents. It is near Back Bay and the architecture is very similar to […]

I just love fall in New England. The crisp, clear days and beautiful colors make up for some of the awful winters we have. One of our local churches has a pumpkin festival every year. They sell every imaginable size and shape of pumpkin and donate the proceeds to charity. Enjoy!

Working in the 21st Century

Boy, times sure have changed. Sometimes I feel that I was born in the wrong century. My volunteer consulting project recently started up. I am very excited about this year’s team since we have a mix of both “older” volunteers (older meaning they are over 50) and “younger” volunteers (younger being under 30). Everyone is […]

Peep is in the house

The other day I was hard at work at my computer, er rather I was attempting to reach Level 400 in Candy Crush, when I heard Mr. Ken come back from shopping. I thought I heard him say: “Peep is in the house.” I will admit that I am getting a bit more hard of […]

It really is the small things that make life worth living. As we enter the season of cooler days and longer nights, I find it important to find ways to keep my spirits up. Here are some things that make me happy. 1. Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coconut Coffee. I treat myself to this whenever […]

Awful marketing

What ever happened to honesty and integrity? I know, I know, I am asking a rhetorical question, but two recent incidents really got me thinking. By now, you all must have heard of the Equifax data breach. At least 143 million names, birthdates and social security numbers were stolen by hackers getting into Equifax. Now […]

Just slow down

I was rushing around last Saturday, like I usually do. We had gone out kayaking on Friday and I was tired so I had slept late on Saturday.  I had a bunch of errands to do. Usually, I am up and at it early and get everything done by 10 am. This is a way […]

There isn’t much for me to say this week, after all the terrible news about Hurricane Irma.  All I want to ask is that you keep the hurricane victims in your thoughts and prayers. There are many ways to help.  Unfortunately, times like this also bring out the scammers. Here’s some information on where you […]
