Still(!) more London pictures, thanks to Mr. Ken. 1. Royal Guards. The Royal Mews is a part of Buckingham Palace. The Royal Guards sit on these magnificent animals. What a beautiful site! 2. God save the Queen. In addition to our dear Sir Oliver, we just had to get this refrigerator magnet. This sums up […]

Thank goodness Mr. Ken is the photographer in the family. Otherwise, you’d all be seeing pictures of pavement and sky. I blame it on my lack of spatial awareness. 1. Love of monarchy. As the citizen of a pure democracy (well, more or less “pure”), I don’t completely get the concept of a monarchy. It […]

So the London adventure continues . . . 1. A real sense of history. I have always been interested in World War II, my Dad fought in that war. Although, he never wanted to talk about it. As much as I have studied about it, it seemed to be a war that happened, “over there.” […]

Comments Off on The London Adventure – Part 2
Hello again. It’s time for the second installment of our London adventures. I know you all can’t wait. 🙂 1. Mind the gap. I just love the English accents! Of course, the English would say that we Americans have the accent, not them. I swear, I could listen to someone reading the phone book with […]

We just came back from a fabulous two weeks in London. I have a new favorite city! The history, the culture, the people – I loved it all. If I were 30 years younger, I would seriously consider moving there for a few years. And so the adventure begins. 1. Let’s talk about packing, shall […]

Comments Off on Mr. Ken’s definition of healthy food
Yet(!) another story from the life of Mr. Ken. Mr. Ken just got back from his daily walk. He yells up the stairs. On an aside here, what is it about spouses that feel compelled to carry on a long conversation when you are not in the same room with them, yet when you are […]

Comments Off on Some adventures in healthy eating
I am inspired by this healthy eating kick. So I went to Trader Joes and bought: – avocado – sea salt – refried beans – organic spinach – organic low fat yogurt. I have a half-baked idea that I will blend all of these items together to make a healthy something. 1. Avocado. Avocado has […]

Comments Off on What we do for love
This past Saturday, I was very busy up in my office. I was on my computer doing very important stuff. Well actually, I was perusing YouTube and looking for more Jessica Smith videos that included her adorable French bull dog, Peanut. Mr. Ken, yells up the stairs, “I need you to come outside quickly.” I […]

Ah, summertime. Long sun-filled days, the desire to be outdoors all the time and the slower pace. I love kayaking more than anything (well, maybe not more than Peeps or chipmunks). So we’ve spent all our spare time out on the water. When I’m out there, all my problems disappear. It’s like a mini-vacation. Here […]

Computer records can be a lot neater than paper records, that’s for sure. I understand the push for medical records to be online. Except, for me, there have been several VERY annoying consequences. 1. The doctor spends his/her time looking at the computer screen and not at me while asking me questions. Am I really […]
