Having fun with tires

February 22, 2017

I had to get two new tires for my car. What did I do? Of course I asked Mr. Ken, the car guy, to help me. His words to me were “Toyo.” What? Is that short hand for Toyota? Nope, it’s a type of tire. Since small cars have small tires, the tires should be […]

Welcome to February

February 15, 2017

Here in New England, we have been lucky this winter. That is until last week, when a series of snowstorms started. Here’s how things looked on Thursday. These aren’t the clearest pictures, but there was no way I was going to stand outside and take pictures. These were all taken through the window. The frontyard. […]

It’s not all or nothing

February 8, 2017

Blame it on my foot surgery. Since December, I have not been able to get up at my usual 4:30 am. For the first few weeks, I could use the pain medications as my excuse since they made me really sleepy. Then, it was my body healing. But it has been two months now. Maybe […]

Meet Ruby

February 1, 2017

So this is what dear Mr. Ken has been spending all his time on last week. He has even named it, Ruby! Lots of mysterious packages have been arriving at our house lately. Mr. Ken excitedly runs to the door and quickly sweeps up the packages. Then, one day, I come downstairs to see all […]

Irony

I pass this sign on my daily walks and I can’t help but laugh. Notice that there is not one, but TWO dessert places: the Dessert Workshop and the Treat Cupcake Bar. A picture is really worth a thousand words. . .

January 11, 2017

I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seats, anxiously awaiting the answer to the question posed last week, Another what is it? Well, here it is! This is a temperature and pressure gauge for our gas furnace. What???? Who knew. Last week, while I was busy browsing the internet, er […]

Another what is it?

January 4, 2017

Believe it or not, last week was a very busy one for me. You would think the week between Christmas and New Year’s would be quiet, but I was busy with my consulting project. The week just flew by! I was “stuck” inside because of my foot, so I was looking for things to do. […]

What is love?

December 28, 2016

What is love? It can be described in many ways, a feeling, an emotion, a thought, an action. . . For me, love is all about the little things. Last week, I came downstairs and found a wonderful surprise. Dear Mr. Ken had put up our tree, with the lights and all. He even set […]

Joyful Christmas

December 21, 2016

I try to silence the chatter this time of year, which is hard to do since we are surrounded by “noise.” “Buy this! Buy that! Time is running out.” What happens if you don’t buy anything? Will the world stop? Probably not. My dear cousin, who is like a sister to me, knows I love […]
