So I live in New England and even with the infamous “global warming,” it is cold and snowy. It can get depressing to be stuck inside for months on end. Mr. Ken and I enjoy hiking all year long. A few days ago, we decided to emerge from “hibernation” and go for a hike at […]

So not much going on here. Mr. Ken hasn’t done anything goofy lately, so I can’t even write about his antics. A few days ago, Mr. Ken announces that he needs to put on his work clothes. No, this isn’t a suit and tie, but old pants and an old shirt. He rushes upstairs and changes his clothes. […]

We are in February and the days are noticeably brighter. I just love sitting in our family room in the afternoon as the sun comes streaming through the windows. It is the perfect place for reading. I also love having lots of pretty flowers around. Flowers in the dead of winter are especially nice. My mother-in-law and a few […]

Our beloved Toby is quite the little world traveler. His latest trip was with Mr. Ken to South Carolina. Toby, like Mr. Ken, has a wicked sweet tooth. He was very happy to see that there is a delicious bakery on site where Ken’s mother lives. Here is Toby, with a longing gaze, at the Bakery Shop. He […]

So I go back to writing about one of our favorite little creatures, Toby. Toby is a corgi that came all the way from Buckingham Palace. When Mr. Ken visits his […]

Here in New England, January can be a tough month. It’s dark; it’s cold and it usually snows. This is not exactly conducive to energetic days, but rather snuggling under a warm blanket and just chilling. Here are some of our beloved “gang” doing just that. From left to right, we have Windsor, Pickles and Chester (the […]

Another quintessential Vermont experience is a country fair. We are lucky that our Vermont visit is always around the time of the Chester Fair. This year, a beautiful golden retriever was available for photo opportunities. Mr. Ken couldn’t resist. I just love the happy face on the dog! There was a lively demonstration of how […]

One of the many things I love about Vermont is all the farms. Taylor Farm in Londonderry Vermont is very close to where we were staying. We had a fun time visiting here. As expected on a farm, there were lots of farm animals. And what could be more Vermont than cows? It sure looks […]

Inside Hildene, the Lincoln family home in Manchester Vermont, is just as beautiful as the outside. The Hildene dining room is beautifully appointed with a welcoming table. Wouldn’t you just love to work in a room like this? What a cozy study. Robert Todd’s bedroom was on the first floor since in his later years, […]
