Kayaking!

It’s that time of year again and boy am I ready for it. It’s kayaking time! We store our kayaks (all 4 of them) in the basement over the winter. It is quite the production getting them up the bulk head and into the garage. Hah, it seems to get harder and harder each year. […]

Taking up a new hobby

May 13, 2020

I have not figured out what my new hobby will be. I guess it will have to be something I can do at home, with the materials I have on hand. However, our dear Sir Angus and Sir Oliver have taken up a new hobby – painting! That is when they are not trying to […]

Time to mix it up

May 6, 2020

No, I am not talking about an early cocktail hour. Although these days this sounds pretty good! We all are going a bit stir crazy with our “shelter at home.” The only time I get out of the house is for my walks and to go food shopping. The other day I went out for […]

Food, just food

Okay, so we’re all hunkered down in our living spaces, probably going a bit stir crazy. After all, how many YouTube videos can one watch in a day? Here is some light reading to brighten your day. 1.

Finding hope

March 25, 2020

Even I as an eternal optimist, am struggling to find hope in these dark times, but I have. Here are a few bright spots for our dark days. 1. Neighbor helping neighbor. I belong to my town’s Facebook group. Our local food pantry had posted a need for food, asking folks to go to the […]
