The Chester Fair
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 […]
Old MacDonald had a Farm
December 6, 2023
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 […]
The Inside Scoop
November 29, 2023
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, […]
A very Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Even though this can be a crazy busy time, I always find time to step back and be thankful for all the blessings in my life. What are you grateful for?
We hold these truths to be self-evident
November 15, 2023
Even though Mr. Ken and I have been to Vermont many times, we always find somewhere new to explore. This time it was Hildene, the Lincoln Family Home, located in Manchester Vermont. This beautiful estate is the former summer home of Robert Todd Lincoln and his wife Mary Harlan Lincoln. Robert Todd Lincoln is the […]
Go with the flow
November 8, 2023
It’s good to chill out on vacation and be flexible. The first full day of our Vermont vacation our plan was to hike at Jamaica State Park. We had a fabulous time there last year (see the Dumplings anyone? ) post. This sounded good except all of the park trails were closed due to mudslides […]
Deliverance
November 1, 2023
I view every day as an adventure and our drive up to Vermont was no exception. Mmm, normally, the ride is pretty straightforward; Route 128 to Route 2 to Route 91 and presto you are in Vermont. But no this time Google maps decided to make life interesting by taking us a VERY scenic route. […]
Lasting memories of Old Quebec
October 25, 2023
I love getting souvenirs from my trips. They don’t have to be anything fancy or expensive, just something to remind me of my trip. Our trip to Old Quebec was no exception. CRYSTALS I can’t go anywhere without picking up some crystals. I got four of them from a cute little store in Basse-Ville. I […]
A joyful local walk in the woods
October 18, 2023
Even though I live in a suburban, built-up area, I can still find nice, natural places to walk. One such place is the campus at Wellesley College, specifically around their Lake Waban. It was a glorious fall day last week and I wanted to take advantage of this nice weather. Here are some of the […]
Levis Quebec – Stairway to Heaven
October 11, 2023
A big advantage to staying in one place for a week is that you really get to know that place. We felt that way about beautiful Old Quebec. On Saturday, we took the ferry across the St. Lawerence River to the cute town of Levis. It was only a 12 minute ferry ride. Levis was […]
