Levis Quebec – Stairway to Heaven

October 11, 2023

A big advantage to staying in one place for a week is that you really get to know that place. We felt that way about beautiful Old Quebec. On Saturday, we took the ferry across the St. Lawerence River to the cute town of Levis. It was only a 12 minute ferry ride. Levis was […]

Quaint streets in Old Quebec

August 3, 2023

Old Quebec is made for walking. I just love exploring a new city by foot and seeing the sights. Here is right outside our flat on Rue St. Anne. Here are more street scenes from Rue St. Anne. I just love the red umbrellas; it makes everything look so festive! Another main street is Rue […]

What is your happy place?

June 7, 2023

I have a few happy places; kayaking of course, and playing with chipmunks. I also love to exercise. Cathe Friedrich is one of my “go to” exercise gals. I was so happy when she came out with her latest program, STS 2.0. STS stands for shock training system. It is a way to mix up […]

It’s kayak time – yay!

May 17, 2023

I am so happy that it is kayak time. For the past two years, our kayaking has been limited. In 2021 I had shoulder surgery, so no kayaking that season. In 2022, Mr. Ken broke his wrist, so our kayaking started late. God willing, we will have no injuries this year and will get in […]

Comments Off on Some reflections on an early morning walk

As most of you know, I am a morning person. There is nothing I love better than to get up early and do my exercise before the my day gets started. Spring has finally arrived here in New England. I just love the warmer weather and brighter days. I have been taking early morning walks. […]

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 […]

The joys of a November hike

December 7, 2022

September and October are glorious times here in New England. The brightly colored foliage never disappoints. November, not so much. All the leaves are off the trees and it is usually cold and grey, with not much sunshine. This year we were lucky to have several sunny days. Mr. Ken and I decided to take […]

The view

October 19, 2022

We returned to Dorset, Vermont and did the Gettysburg Quarry hike again. It was so much easier this time since it was cooler. The view from the top is to die for. Aside from being out in nature, we met some interesting people on the trail. One woman, a Dorset native, told us about some […]

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

October 12, 2022

We took a hike around our favorite place in Vermont, Lowell Lake State Park. We can walk to this beautiful area from where we were staying. So we are out hiking and we come upon a paw print in the mud. Mr. Ken says he thinks it’s bear paw. Except we keep seeing these prints […]

Dumplings anyone?

September 28, 2022

No, this won’t be a post about food. Rather, it is all about a fabulous hike that Mr. Ken and I had at Jamaica State Park in Vermont. It was a wonderful, early fall day and the sun was streaming through the trees. The trail follows the West River, which had been used for thousands […]
