The people around us

February 8, 2023

Comments Off on The people around us

In all of my exercise classes, the instructor gently urges us to “be in the present moment.” Yes, even the instructors for the more strenuous sessions say this. I understand the concept, but the execution can be challenging. I find it easy to be in the moment if I am out in nature, or if […]

The view from a window

February 1, 2023

It’s amazing what you notice when you slow down and really pay attention to your surroundings. Mr. Ken and I live in a suburb of Boston. It is a very nice suburb but, like most of the surrounding areas, it is quite built up, with not a lot of green space. Mmm, I think that […]

Geeks, geeks and more geeks

January 25, 2023

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this. The other day I came downstairs and hear Mr. Ken talking to his twin brother. Except he was holding his phone and had earphones on and was using the earphones to talk with his brother. I wonder if he used an NDSI card in those earphones? Sigh, […]

Return of the geeks

January 18, 2023

My dear Mr. Ken loves donuts and chipmunks. He also loves technology. He claims to never have had a pocket protector, but I know better. There must be one floating around our house somewhere. The other day, he was in his office, very focused on his computer screen. I asked him a question and no […]

Happy, happy New Year!

January 4, 2023

The new year is a time for new beginnings. And a time for making resolutions. As for me, I used to dutifully write down my resolutions. They were quickly forgotten by mid-January. So now I do something different. I focus on a particular word for the year. In the past it has been words like […]

Merry, merry Christmas!

December 28, 2022

I love the Christmas season. The lights and decorations are so pretty. I especially love putting up our Christmas tree. All of our ornaments have a story behind them. The Ken and Nancy snowmen were bought in Weston, Vermont, during one of our many trips to Vermont. The Santa in a kayak,on the upper left, […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

December 21, 2022

The tree has been put up, the Christmas cards written and the Christmas meal planned. Now it is time to relax and enjoy the season. It is just so nice and relaxing to sit in our family room on these cold, dark nights and look at the pretty Christmas tree. Mr. Ken also has the […]

The joys of a November hike

December 7, 2022

September and October are glorious times here in New England. The brightly colored foliage never disappoints. November, not so much. All the leaves are off the trees and it is usually cold and grey, with not much sunshine. This year we were lucky to have several sunny days. Mr. Ken and I decided to take […]

Too much time on my hands

November 30, 2022

So the Covid lockdowns have eased and even I have been getting out of the house more. That being said, I still don’t get out enough. The other day, I went into a closet to get a coffee pod for my morning coffee. I am still half asleep. As I am gazing into the cardboard […]

Happy Thanksgiving from the gang

November 23, 2022

Our guys, Sir Oliver, Toby and Sir Angus, wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! And something to make you smile. Mr. Ken and Sir Angus seem to have identical taste in clothes. I call them my doppelgangers! 🙂 I just love this time of year. I take lots of time to slow down and reflect […]
