The Adventures of Toby – Part 1

January 24, 2024

Nothing much happening here in the quiet of winter. And our dear Mr. Ken hasn’t done anything goofy lately so that I could write about it. So I go back to writing about one of our favorite little creatures, Toby. Toby is a corgi that came all the way from Buckingham Palace. When Mr. Ken visits his […]

Bright spots in the dark of winter

January 17, 2024

Here in New England, January can be a tough month. It’s dark; it’s cold and it usually snows. This is not exactly conducive to energetic days, but rather snuggling under a warm blanket and just chilling. Here are some of our beloved “gang” doing just that. From left to right, we have Windsor, Pickles and Chester (the […]

Happy Christmas!

December 20, 2023

What better way to celebrate Christmas than with a cute chipmunk. 🙂 Wishing all a very happy and joyous Christmas!

The Chester Fair

December 14, 2023

Another quintessential Vermont experience is a country fair. We are lucky that our Vermont visit is always around the time of the Chester Fair. This year, a beautiful golden retriever was available for photo opportunities. Mr. Ken couldn’t resist. I just love the happy face on the dog! There was a lively demonstration of how […]

Old MacDonald had a Farm

December 6, 2023

One of the many things I love about Vermont is all the farms. Taylor Farm in Londonderry Vermont is very close to where we were staying. We had a fun time visiting here. As expected on a farm, there were lots of farm animals. And what could be more Vermont than cows? It sure looks […]

A very Happy Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2023

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Even though this can be a crazy busy time, I always find time to step back and be thankful for all the blessings in my life. What are you grateful for?

Go with the flow

November 8, 2023

It’s good to chill out on vacation and be flexible. The first full day of our Vermont vacation our plan was to hike at Jamaica State Park. We had a fabulous time there last year (see the Dumplings anyone? ) post. This sounded good except all of the park trails were closed due to mudslides […]

Deliverance

November 1, 2023

I view every day as an adventure and our drive up to Vermont was no exception. Mmm, normally, the ride is pretty straightforward; Route 128 to Route 2 to Route 91 and presto you are in Vermont. But no this time Google maps decided to make life interesting by taking us a VERY scenic route. […]

Lasting memories of Old Quebec

October 25, 2023

I love getting souvenirs from my trips. They don’t have to be anything fancy or expensive, just something to remind me of my trip. Our trip to Old Quebec was no exception. CRYSTALS I can’t go anywhere without picking up some crystals. I got four of them from a cute little store in Basse-Ville. I […]

A joyful local walk in the woods

October 18, 2023

Even though I live in a suburban, built-up area, I can still find nice, natural places to walk. One such place is the campus at Wellesley College, specifically around their Lake Waban. It was a glorious fall day last week and I wanted to take advantage of this nice weather. Here are some of the […]
