I really enjoy writing these blog posts about Vermont. When I look at the pictures I took, it is as though I am reliving the vacation. The place we stay is lovely and very comfortable. It is nice to go back there and just chill, after exploring different parts of Vermont during the day. It’s […]

It’s the little things

January 15, 2025

So if you read my blog last week, Down for the count, you know I recently had shoulder surgery. I’ve been through it before, with my other shoulder so I know that it is a long haul, but if I do everything my doctor says and keep up with the physical therapy, my shoulder will […]

Mr. Ken and I did more than just eat on our vacation. We managed to get out and have some lovely hikes. When we visited Vermont in July, it was super hot! It did feel much cooler walking around in the woods though, especially if we were near a stream. Here are some scenes from […]

As you can probably tell by all the blogs I write about Vermont, I love the state! It is scenic, the people are friendly and most importantly, it isn’t crowded. However, being out in nature can pose some challenges. Going out to eat, for example. You can’t just hop in your car and drive 5 […]
