Vermont – Old Buildings

November 19, 2025

Aside from beautiful nature scenes, Vermont has a lot of old abandoned buildings. Here are few that we came across. This old Getty Station was reborn as a skating rink for a few years. It then shut down. Since it is located right next to the West River, it is tough to build something else […]

Vermont – Walking Scenes

November 12, 2025

I not only saw pretty flowers along my walk, but some interesting other things. Of course, I wasn’t surprised to see a barn. 🙂 And some beautiful horses. A magnificent heron perched high in a tree. Vermont has lots of wilderness and lots of bears. This sign caught my eye. Mountains everywhere you look. After […]

Vermont – Flowers everywhere

November 5, 2025

So Mr. Ken and I spent several wonderful weeks in Vermont. Our first trip was in July. Boy was it hot! Who would think that the land of mountains and lots of snow would get this hot? Anyway, we had a great time. I was able to take a walk every morning. And even though […]

Some cuteness to brighten your day

October 29, 2025

So Mr. Ken and I had a fabulous four days away in Northampton, Mass., my new favorite city. Haven’t quite organized my blog posts for that trip. Actually, we spent several weeks in Vermont too and I have yet to organize those posts. So, a brief post this week with some of our beloved “guys,” […]

A joyful fall walk in the woods

October 22, 2025

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 […]

With a song in my heart

October 15, 2025

Mr. Ken never ceases to amaze me. His latest thing is taking guitar lessons. He used to play the trumpet for his high school marching band and has always had an interest in music. Of course, our little guys had to get in on the action too. Pickles, the corgi with the purple ribbon, looks […]

It’s pumpkin time!

October 8, 2025

Fall is my favorite time of year in New England. The crisp air and the pretty leaves are so nice. Our Toby loves the fall too. He especially likes playing in his very own little pumpkin patch. 🙂 What do you think of fall?

Mr. Ken and I love staying in Airbnbs on our travels. It is so relaxing to have a full kitchen so we don’t have to eat every meal out. It is also nice to come back to a comfortable place to relax after a fun day spent exploring. Our stay in Morristown, New Jersey was […]

Comments Off on New Jersey History Scene

Mr. Ken and I stayed in Morristown, New Jersey while we attended his college reunion. Morristown, NJ, was settled around 1715 as New Hanover and became Morris Town in 1739, named for Governor Lewis Morris. It became a pivotal American Revolution site under General George Washington, serving as a winter headquarters twice, first in 1777 and then […]

We just celebrated a special day for one of our “Guys”. On September 4, 2019 we adopted dear Sir Oliver from the Buckingham Palace gift shop while we were in London. We celebrate this day every year along with all the rest of the gang. Here’s the gang gathered around the birthday boy along with […]
