A walk through Cambridge

December 16, 2015

One of the many reasons that I love what I am doing right now is that I get to travel frequently to Cambridge, my favorite city in Massachusetts. I take the train into South Station, Boston and then I walk all the way to Harvard Square. It takes me about 90 minutes. I thought you […]

I was over at my Mom’s house this past week, like I am every day. She gets a lot of catalogs. Since I had some time to kill, I started looking through the Vermont Country Store catalog. This brought me back in time for a number of reasons. First of all, Mr. Ken and I […]

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. And no, it’s not because of the food, but because of the emphasis on being thankful and being around family and friends.

I just got back from a 3 day prayer and meditation retreat. Cell phones were not allowed and nor was there computer access. The retreat was held in a leafy suburb of Boston. The grounds were magnificent! Even though the Boston suburbs are built up, once you were on the property, you felt as though […]

Nothing deep this week, just a picture of a our local pumpkin patch! A local church displays and sells lots and lots of pumpkins. They use the proceeds to benefit various charities.
