Have you ever wondered what life is like with a little geek? Well, let me clue you in. 1. Pictures of weird things. Mr. Ken was very excited to tell me about his latest gadget for the kitchen. It is a combination charger and outlet! How exciting. Of course, one may wonder why you would […]

What is love? It can be described in many ways, a feeling, an emotion, a thought, an action. . . For me, love is all about the little things. Last week, I came downstairs and found a wonderful surprise. Dear Mr. Ken had put up our tree, with the lights and all. He even set […]

Joyful Christmas

I try to silence the chatter this time of year, which is hard to do since we are surrounded by “noise.” “Buy this! Buy that! Time is running out.” What happens if you don’t buy anything? Will the world stop? Probably not. My dear cousin, who is like a sister to me, knows I love […]

Day by day my foot is getting better and healing. I am now able to hobble around without crutches and without much pain. I am still trying to be a model patient though and not overdo things. I am excited to report I have found a good setup in my exercise room. Note the cool […]

No Thanksgiving post would be complete without a picture of Thanksgiving chipmunks! 🙂 I am going to attempt to bake two pumpkin pies this year. The last time I attempted to bake pies, I managed to almost set the stove on fire. And this was with my dear mother supervising. I’m on my own this […]

Sadly, it was time to put our kayaks away. We had a bit of a conundrum this year, since we now have to store four kayaks where we used to store only two. The other two had been kept over at my Mom’s house in her garage. But leave it to Mr. Ken to come […]

I’m more of an analytical person, so finding my creative side takes a lot of doing. So far, the only creative thing I’ve been able to do is to put together interesting exercise routines. This pretty stained glass is from my dear husband, Mr. Ken. He recently took a stained glass class from our local […]

As I have gotten older, I have come to really appreciate the simple things in life. Like the power of a nice phone call. October has been a tough month for me, it is the month of my Mother’s birthday and also my birthday. I have been feeling a bit melancholy. October is a busy […]
