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 […]

Down for the count

January 8, 2025

In December last year, I had to have surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder. I had the same surgery for my right shoulder in 2021, so I knew what to expect. All I can say is ouch! You wear the sling 24/7, even while sleeping. Four times a day, you […]

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2025

What better way to celebrate the New Year than with a chipmunk! Of course, our little dears are in for their “big sleep,” so we won’t be seeing them for a while. I don’t know about you, but I’m not really doing New Years resolutions anymore. I tended to have a long list of resolutions […]

Happy Christmas!

December 25, 2024

December in New England is dark and cold, but all the pretty and festive Christmas decorations make it bearable. A good friend, Cloice, sent us this beautiful Christmas card. The cute little snow angels on either side were my Mom’s. My Mom was not a materialistic person, but she loved these little snow angels. I […]

Comments Off on Peaceful walks in Vermont

As you can see, I love Vermont. One big reason is because it is so peaceful there and you are surrounded by nature. The place where we stayed is located on a nice dirt road, which was perfect for my morning walks. Here’s how I started my day; the view from our kitchen window. Here’s […]

Comments Off on Stratton Village – summer fun

Even though Stratton Village and Mountain are known for winter fun, there’s lots to do there in the summer too. One glorious sunny afternoon we decided to make a trip up to Stratton Mountain. Even though winter is their busy season, there is lots of stuff going on in the summer as well. As with […]

Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Comments Off on Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Grafton Vermont is the quintessential Vermont town. I just love visiting here. The townspeople take a lot of pride in their town; there are always beautiful baskets of flowers along the road. Even the trip there is so “Vermont.” The road to Grafton is mainly a dirt road. Actually, over 50% of the roads in […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2024

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is all about family, friends and being thankful for all my blessings. Even though November in New England is cold, dark and dreary, the holiday thoughts brighten my day. And what could be cuter than a Chipmunk Thanksgiving! Even though our little friends have gone in for their […]

Trees everywhere

November 20, 2024

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is all the forests. It is just so relaxing driving around and seeing just woods, instead of ugly built up areas. There are lots of places to hike in Vermont too. This year, Mr. Ken and I decided to do the easy hikes. Our lovely host […]

Scenic Vermont

October 30, 2024

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is the pretty scenery you see everywhere. All roads have nice views. Here are a few of my favorite scenes. Vermont has lots of trees. Vermont also has rolling hills. Vermont also has lots of farms and barns. More farmland and barns. And my favorite scene, […]
