Basse-Ville Old Quebec
Beautiful Old Quebec overlooks the St. Lawrence River. The lower town, known in French as “Basse-Ville,” is the original, older part of town. Basse-Ville has undergone many iterations through the years. It was home to the working class people of Old Quebec, but then fell into decline. Rebuilding started in the 1970’s and this area […]
Old Quebec – the walled city
June 28, 2023
Part of Old Quebec, Haute-Ville (Upper Town), is high on a cliff overlooking the St. Lawrence River. It is the only walled city in North America, north of Mexico. Old Quebec had walls to protect it from invaders. Here is a portion of the wall. There were also gates to get into the city. There […]

The big day has finally arrived and we are off to Quebec. Not only are we excited, but our little guys are excited too! Toby has gotten into the action are created his own itinerary. If you can’t read his list, it says: Here they are, all ready to go on the long trip! Although […]
What is your happy place?
June 7, 2023
I have a few happy places; kayaking of course, and playing with chipmunks. I also love to exercise. Cathe Friedrich is one of my “go to” exercise gals. I was so happy when she came out with her latest program, STS 2.0. STS stands for shock training system. It is a way to mix up […]
Bonjour Quebec
May 31, 2023
Mr. Ken and I are slowly emerging from our hermit state due to Covid. We are going to Quebec City, Canada later this summer. We can’t wait. We were originally scheduled to go in 2020, but then Covid hit. Canada and US shut their borders. Quebec City is one of the oldest cities in Canada. […]

Comments Off on Some cuteness to brighten your day
As you all know, Mr. Ken and I love our chipmunks. Hah, they are our “pets.” One of ours, aka Bad Bunny, has been in super food gathering mode, so we think she has some baby chipmunks down in her hole. It is so much fun to watch them as they emerge from the hole. […]
It’s kayak time – yay!
May 17, 2023
I am so happy that it is kayak time. For the past two years, our kayaking has been limited. In 2021 I had shoulder surgery, so no kayaking that season. In 2022, Mr. Ken broke his wrist, so our kayaking started late. God willing, we will have no injuries this year and will get in […]
Coronation Party
May 10, 2023
So, did you guys watch the coronation of King Charles III? As an American, I really don’t get the idea of a monarchy. I couldn’t see myself bowing to anyone, even a king or queen. That being said, I am quite the Anglophile and love all things British, including the monarchy. I told myself that […]
Misleading marketing
May 3, 2023
I consider myself an educated consumer, but I am still learning things. So I recently had blood work done and had my cholesterol checked. The cholesterol numbers were NOT good. And this in spite of the fact that I exercise a lot and eat kale. 🙂 I shouldn’t be since I have a family history […]
Facebook perils
April 26, 2023
My age may be showing here since Facebook is mostly for us, ahem, “older” folks now. I must admit, I spend way too much time on Facebook. I tell myself I’m learning about fitness trends, so it isn’t a total waste of time. I came across this image, posted in my town Facebook group. I […]
