It’s all about the attitude

May 3, 2017

We can’t control our lives. We can’t control what happens to us. What we CAN control is how we react to events. I am in the process of dealing with my health insurance company, my doctor’s office and the hospital. All I am trying to do is schedule a simple test. What should be a […]

Life with a geek Part 2

April 26, 2017

One thing I have learned from living with a geek like Mr. Ken is that there is never an end to the new computer parts. I can’t complain though since I feel there is never an end to new exercise DVDs. 🙂 Mr. Ken’s latest “toy” is a backlit keyboard! One may ask why a […]

Cuteness and inspiration

April 19, 2017

A very dear friend left me a surprise Easter basket this weekend. And guess what was in it? A fluffy pink Peep! Note the very apropos Easter egg design on the Peep. Does life get any better than this? I must admit I had been admiring this adorable little fuzzy for some time and almost […]

Nancy and Ken’s excellent New Jersey adventure

April 12, 2017

Yes, one can have a fun and excellent adventure in New Jersey. Mr. Ken and I were in the Garden State this past weekend for a family wedding. New Jersey holds a special place in my heart because a. I was born there and b. I first met Mr. Ken there. So the story of […]

Whistling Dixie

April 5, 2017

Well, not really, since I can’t whistle. Plus, no matter how hard I try to hide it, I have a Boston accent. Or should I say “bahstan akcent.” 🙂 Mr. Ken was recently in South Carolina, visiting with his mother and brother. The weather down there was gorgeous and the flowers were in full bloom. […]

15 minutes of fame

March 29, 2017

Most of you have heard of the adage, “we all get 15 minutes of fame.” Well this happened to Mr. Ken last week. He was quoted in an article about a castle in Summit New Jersey. Can you imagine a real live castle in suburban New Jersey? It was called Vanderpoel Castle and Mr. Ken […]

Beauty all around

Comments Off on Beauty all around

Nothing too deep this week, just some pretty pictures I took this fall. I just love walking because I see beauty all around me. Here are some pretty sights I saw on a walk last fall. The red leaves almost look like hand prints. I just love the bright red leaves. When the sun is […]

Welcome spring! (sort of)

March 15, 2017

March is here and spring is right around the corner, right! I was so encouraged last week. As I was out on my walk, I saw little crocus leaves poking through the dirt! I even saw it in multiple places. Okay, so the pictures make the leaves look like crab grass or weeds, but they […]

It’s Peep time again!

March 8, 2017

I am so excited that it is that time of year again – Peep time! My dear friend Lisa knows how much I love Peeps, so she scoured the stores and found the latest Peep invention – Peep oreos! What’s not to love? Note the lovely hot pink color. So much for natural foods. I […]

Reflections on this past week

March 1, 2017

It was a year ago on March 6 that my dear mother passed away. She had been pretty healthy, except for the week before she died. That week was the hardest, saddest week of my life. In some ways it was harder than the week after she died. See my reflections: A post to honor […]
