Nancy and Ken’s excellent New Jersey adventure

April 12, 2017

Yes, one can have a fun and excellent adventure in New Jersey. Mr. Ken and I were in the Garden State this past weekend for a family wedding. New Jersey holds a special place in my heart because a. I was born there and b. I first met Mr. Ken there. So the story of […]

15 minutes of fame

March 29, 2017

Most of you have heard of the adage, “we all get 15 minutes of fame.” Well this happened to Mr. Ken last week. He was quoted in an article about a castle in Summit New Jersey. Can you imagine a real live castle in suburban New Jersey? It was called Vanderpoel Castle and Mr. Ken […]

Beauty all around

Comments Off on Beauty all around

Nothing too deep this week, just some pretty pictures I took this fall. I just love walking because I see beauty all around me. Here are some pretty sights I saw on a walk last fall. The red leaves almost look like hand prints. I just love the bright red leaves. When the sun is […]

Welcome spring! (sort of)

March 15, 2017

March is here and spring is right around the corner, right! I was so encouraged last week. As I was out on my walk, I saw little crocus leaves poking through the dirt! I even saw it in multiple places. Okay, so the pictures make the leaves look like crab grass or weeds, but they […]

It’s Peep time again!

March 8, 2017

I am so excited that it is that time of year again – Peep time! My dear friend Lisa knows how much I love Peeps, so she scoured the stores and found the latest Peep invention – Peep oreos! What’s not to love? Note the lovely hot pink color. So much for natural foods. I […]

Reflections on this past week

March 1, 2017

It was a year ago on March 6 that my dear mother passed away. She had been pretty healthy, except for the week before she died. That week was the hardest, saddest week of my life. In some ways it was harder than the week after she died. See my reflections: A post to honor […]

Having fun with tires

February 22, 2017

I had to get two new tires for my car. What did I do? Of course I asked Mr. Ken, the car guy, to help me. His words to me were “Toyo.” What? Is that short hand for Toyota? Nope, it’s a type of tire. Since small cars have small tires, the tires should be […]

Welcome to February

February 15, 2017

Here in New England, we have been lucky this winter. That is until last week, when a series of snowstorms started. Here’s how things looked on Thursday. These aren’t the clearest pictures, but there was no way I was going to stand outside and take pictures. These were all taken through the window. The frontyard. […]

It’s not all or nothing

February 8, 2017

Blame it on my foot surgery. Since December, I have not been able to get up at my usual 4:30 am. For the first few weeks, I could use the pain medications as my excuse since they made me really sleepy. Then, it was my body healing. But it has been two months now. Maybe […]

Meet Ruby

February 1, 2017

So this is what dear Mr. Ken has been spending all his time on last week. He has even named it, Ruby! Lots of mysterious packages have been arriving at our house lately. Mr. Ken excitedly runs to the door and quickly sweeps up the packages. Then, one day, I come downstairs to see all […]
