social media faux pas

Okay, so social media is here to stay. But it seems it is degenerating into quick hits. A few recent experiences got me thinking about how little thought we put into what we say on social media. 1. Why connect. I’m a big LinkedIn user, since it is more for professional use. I am always […]

Now is the time for my favorite blog post, one about Peeps. If you’ve been following me for a while you know that in addition to chipmunks, I love Peeps. I especially love Easter Peeps since there are so many different varieties. It is hard to be bored when one is following Peeps. 🙂 I […]

foot surgery again

So the annoying pains on the bottom of my feet turned out to be a bigger deal than I had hoped. I had surgery last Friday to remove a large neuroma (nerve growth) on the bottom of my right foot. I also had two large cysts removed, one from my right foot and one from […]

Well, so much for spring. We had our 3rd Nor’easter in two weeks on Tuesday. Needless to say our beloved chipmunks, having awoken from their big sleep, have gone back into hibernation. We even brought their water dishes back inside. We had one set up in the front and one in the back, since chipmunks […]

mystery object feb 21

I know all of you have been sitting on the edge of your seats, wondering What is it? Well, it is an air cabin filter. And I bet you thought they were only for airplane cabins. Well low and behold, all cars have them. They are located behind the glove box. Mr. Ken, being the […]

mystery object feb 21

So I was sitting and reading the other day, when Mr. Ken comes bounding down the stairs. He is mumbling something about “Have to get to the store as soon as possible.” Usually, the only time Mr. Ken “bounds” is when there is a donut involved. Away he goes and comes back about an hour […]

Mr. Ken – serious book reader

Ken the book reader

I love how my dear Mr. Ken has embraced reading. It all started several years ago when we were in a hiking phase (way before my foot issues . . .). I recommended Mr. Ken read the books about the barefoot sisters who through-hiked barefoot the Appalachian Trail. They hiked both ways on the Appalachian […]

football kitten

Blah, blah, blah. I don’t like football. There is just something very weird about 300 pound men jumping on top of each other. And for this they get paid millions of dollars a year! I just don’t get it. This dates back to my junior high days when I was a cheerleader. We had a […]

The importance of a thank you

thank you

Like many of you, I was scrambling at the end of the year to get my finances in order before the new tax law changes. Part of this was donating to charities. One of the charities is my church. On December 28, I personally dropped off a rather substantial donation check to the rectory. I […]
