Snow joy

March 1, 2023

I live in New England. We get snow in the winter. But to hear the media talk about this latest snow, you would think it was an unusual as Southern California getting snow. Tuesday morning, I had a doctor’s appointment. Given the state of medical care these days, the appointment was made several months ago. […]

Adventures in healthy eating

Comments Off on 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 […]

Super Bowl alternatives

February 15, 2023

I am not a football fan. Even when the New England Patriots played in the Super Bowl, I just couldn’t get into it. I suppose I enjoyed football when I was a cheerleader (way back in my junior high school days.) But even then, I couldn’t grasp the concept. We had this neat cheer we […]

The people around us

Comments Off on The people around us

In all of my exercise classes, the instructor gently urges us to “be in the present moment.” Yes, even the instructors for the more strenuous sessions say this. I understand the concept, but the execution can be challenging. I find it easy to be in the moment if I am out in nature, or if […]

The view from a window

February 1, 2023

It’s amazing what you notice when you slow down and really pay attention to your surroundings. Mr. Ken and I live in a suburb of Boston. It is a very nice suburb but, like most of the surrounding areas, it is quite built up, with not a lot of green space. Mmm, I think that […]

Geeks, geeks and more geeks

January 25, 2023

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this. The other day I came downstairs and hear Mr. Ken talking to his twin brother. Except he was holding his phone and had earphones on and was using the earphones to talk with his brother. I wonder if he used an NDSI card in those earphones? Sigh, […]

Return of the geeks

January 18, 2023

My dear Mr. Ken loves donuts and chipmunks. He also loves technology. He claims to never have had a pocket protector, but I know better. There must be one floating around our house somewhere. The other day, he was in his office, very focused on his computer screen. I asked him a question and no […]

Unusual hobbies

January 11, 2023

Hobbies are fun. They can take us away from everyday life. Mr. Ken has recently taken up metal detecting. I’m glad he has something to take him out of the house and away from donut eating. 🙂 When I picture metal detecting, I picture an old guy in white socks, walking along the beach. Thankfully, […]

Happy, happy New Year!

January 4, 2023

The new year is a time for new beginnings. And a time for making resolutions. As for me, I used to dutifully write down my resolutions. They were quickly forgotten by mid-January. So now I do something different. I focus on a particular word for the year. In the past it has been words like […]

Merry, merry Christmas!

December 28, 2022

I love the Christmas season. The lights and decorations are so pretty. I especially love putting up our Christmas tree. All of our ornaments have a story behind them. The Ken and Nancy snowmen were bought in Weston, Vermont, during one of our many trips to Vermont. The Santa in a kayak,on the upper left, […]
