Mr. Ken – serious book reader

February 14, 2018

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 […]

Tips for watching the Super Bowl

February 7, 2018

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

January 31, 2018

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 […]

What is possible

January 24, 2018

So my foot pains have not gone away; they have gotten worse. I went to the doctor and he decided to give me a cortisone shot to help with the pain. Well, ouch – the shots made my foot feel as though it was on fire. Not exactly conducive to walking and an active life […]

Hiding in the bushes

January 10, 2018

Just some random thoughts this week, I’m still relaxing from Christmas break. So, I ordered some things from Amazon. And me, being the cheap, er, frugal person I am, never want to pay shipping so I had to order more stuff to make the required minimum. I think if I did the math, paying the […]

Joyous Christmas!

December 27, 2017

Wishing all my WordPress friends a very joyous Christmas and a happy and healthy 2018! I have my dear cousin Lib to thank for this picture. She sent me a Christmas card with this adorable little creature on the front. I can just picture one of our little guys prancing around like ballerinas. Let’s be […]

Little things can make a BIG difference

December 13, 2017

With the shorter days, I find it a lot easier to fit in my meditation practice. One of my meditation teachers gently tells us to, “Stop wanting things to be different. Be content with things just the way they are.” We all want something in our lives to be different; if only I had more […]

What do the holidays mean?

Comments Off on What do the holidays mean?

After my rousing pod walk on Thanksgiving Day, I was very much looking forward to sitting in our family room, enjoying the sun streaming through the windows, drinking a nice cup of coffee and reading the paper. The calm before the storm, so to speak. We invited our neighbor over for a Thanksgiving meal. I […]

Adventures of Ken and Nancy – Part 2

November 29, 2017

I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seat, just wondering where Ken and Nancy went on vacation. Well, the answer is beautiful Asheville, North Carolina! I think the pictures of the Biltmore Estate gave it away, that, along with the mountain views. Two things that Asheville is known for. Here […]

Hidden Boston – Bay Village

November 8, 2017

Comments Off on Hidden Boston – Bay Village

Boston is such a great city for walking. A few weeks ago, a dear friend took me for a walking tour of Bay Village in Boston. Bay Village is the smallest officially recognized neighborhood in Boston and is home to about 1300 residents. It is near Back Bay and the architecture is very similar to […]
