Comments Off on Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Grafton Vermont is the quintessential Vermont town. I just love visiting here. The townspeople take a lot of pride in their town; there are always beautiful baskets of flowers along the road. Even the trip there is so “Vermont.” The road to Grafton is mainly a dirt road. Actually, over 50% of the roads in […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2024

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is all about family, friends and being thankful for all my blessings. Even though November in New England is cold, dark and dreary, the holiday thoughts brighten my day. And what could be cuter than a Chipmunk Thanksgiving!

Trees everywhere

November 20, 2024

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is all the forests. It is just so relaxing driving around and seeing just woods, instead of ugly built up areas. There are lots of places to hike in Vermont too. This year, Mr. Ken and I decided to do the easy hikes. Our lovely host […]

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 […]

Not only was outside in Northampton wonderful, the place we stayed in was great too. I’m a big fan of Airbnb. Mr. Ken and I have had some wonderful travel experiences thanks to Airbnb. Everything about our place was well planned. Here is the view from the kitchen window. There is something so homey and […]

We stayed at a lovely Airbnb, right outside of downtown Northampton. I loved walking around the residential neighborhood and seeing some unique sights. This neighborhood, like a lot of […]
