Random New Jersey scenes

June 12, 2024

I just love downtown Summit. Here is a picture that doesn’t do it justice. There were a lot of interesting bistros in the downtown area too. Bistros seem to be more prevalent here than in Massachusetts. Piattino is where we met some of Ken’s college friends for lunch. Mr. Ken introduced me to videos way […]

A Room with a View

Comments Off on A Room with a View

Or should I say an entire apartment with a view. Mr. Ken and I stayed in a lovely one bedroom apartment during our trip to Summit, New Jersey. The location was perfect since it was within walking distance to Summit Center. It was also in a quiet, pretty complex. Here is one view from the […]

Wi-Fi here, there and everywhere

May 15, 2024

Wi-Fi is good in your house; it is good in public places and it is good on airplanes. But in a garage for a sprinkler system? Well, Mr. Ken says absolutely! The workings of any sprinkler system escape me. Where is the on/off switch? Why are there so many buttons? Here is the old-school sprinkler […]

Everybody needs one . . . or two

May 8, 2024

Do you know what these things are? To me, they look like some fancy magic markers. According to Mr. Ken, they are the very important voltage testers. Say what? Why would someone want to test voltage? Maybe if you are an electrician. . . And of course, one needs two of these. Why? Just because. […]

Tea time redux

May 1, 2024

Tea seems to be my theme for this spring. My dear friend Lisa invited me to an afternoon tea at Fancy That. This is an adorable tea house and gift shop, based in an old Victorian mansion. We arrived and were led to a lovely, sun-drenched private room. It was as if we were having […]

Only a car guy . . .

Comments Off on Only a car guy . . .

So my dear Mr. Ken is the quintessential car guy. Last week, he had a bad cold. (And yes it really was a cold and not COVID; he did lots of COVID tests – all negative.) Last week was his birthday and on his birthday it was raining. Most people would take “their” special day […]

Tea time

April 10, 2024

I am slowly starting to emerge from COVID isolation/hibernation. My friend Lisa and I had a really fun experience a few weeks ago. We went to a tea tasting at the Golden Ball Tavern, a cool historic place in Weston, Massachusetts. From the Golden Ball Tavern website: “The Golden Ball Tavern Museum offers visitors a […]

This is my favorite time of year since this is when Peeps are out in full force! Wishing everyone a Happy Easter and a joyous Spring! What could be more cool than Peep Mobile! Especially when it is next do the LLBean Boot Mobile! 🙂 What are your favorite Peeps? 🙂

Yours, mine and ours

My dear mother-in-law recently sent me some yummy chocolates. Yes, I am a health fanatic, but I do love my chocolate. But . . .Mr. Ken was just as excited as I was to get this chocolate. (And Toby was too, since he has a wicked sweet tooth.) I can ration the chocolate and make […]

Ack! Technology

March 13, 2024

I was a Math and Science major in college, and spent a good deal of my career as a project manager for technical projects. Hah, you would think that using technology would be second nature to me. Well, not quite. Hello, hello. Can anyone hear me? I remember the first time I was using my […]
