Screeech!

October 30, 2019

So I recently celebrated a birthday. Never mind which one. . . Mr. Ken says to me, “How about we celebrate your birthday by going to a talk on owls? There will even be live owls there!” Um, okay. I’m really not a bird person, chipmunks yes, but not birds. I was a bit apprehensive […]

Yep, we took lots of pictures when we were in London. It’s fun to go back and look at them, so we can relive our vacation. I’m usually not a visual person, but when I think back on our trip, images come to mind. This picture of a quintessential English pub, with pretty flowers, brings […]

The London adventure – Part 5

Still(!) more London pictures, thanks to Mr. Ken. 1. Royal Guards. The Royal Mews is a part of Buckingham Palace. The Royal Guards sit on these magnificent animals. What a beautiful site! 2. God save the Queen. In addition to our dear Sir Oliver, we just had to get this refrigerator magnet. This sums up […]

The London adventure – Part 4

Thank goodness Mr. Ken is the photographer in the family. Otherwise, you’d all be seeing pictures of pavement and sky. I blame it on my lack of spatial awareness. 1. Love of monarchy. As the citizen of a pure democracy (well, more or less “pure”), I don’t completely get the concept of a monarchy. It […]

The London adventure – Part 3

October 2, 2019

So the London adventure continues . . . 1. A real sense of history. I have always been interested in World War II, my Dad fought in that war. Although, he never wanted to talk about it. As much as I have studied about it, it seemed to be a war that happened, “over there.” […]

Hello again. It’s time for the second installment of our London adventures. I know you all can’t wait. 🙂 1. Mind the gap. I just love the English accents! Of course, the English would say that we Americans have the accent, not them. I swear, I could listen to someone reading the phone book with […]

The London adventure -Part 1

September 18, 2019

We just came back from a fabulous two weeks in London. I have a new favorite city! The history, the culture, the people – I loved it all. If I were 30 years younger, I would seriously consider moving there for a few years. And so the adventure begins. 1. Let’s talk about packing, shall […]

Mr. Ken’s definition of healthy food

Comments Off on Mr. Ken’s definition of healthy food

Yet(!) another story from the life of Mr. Ken. Mr. Ken just got back from his daily walk. He yells up the stairs. On an aside here, what is it about spouses that feel compelled to carry on a long conversation when you are not in the same room with them, yet when you are […]

Some adventures in healthy eating

Comments Off on Some adventures in healthy eating

I am inspired by this healthy eating kick. So I went to Trader Joes and bought: – avocado – sea salt – refried beans – organic spinach – organic low fat yogurt. I have a half-baked idea that I will blend all of these items together to make a healthy something. 1. Avocado. Avocado has […]

This past Saturday, I was very busy up in my office. I was on my computer doing very important stuff. Well actually, I was perusing YouTube and looking for more Jessica Smith videos that included her adorable French bull dog, Peanut. Mr. Ken, yells up the stairs, “I need you to come outside quickly.” I […]
