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 […]

A local walk in the woods

October 25, 2017

Even though I live in a suburban, built-up area, I can still find nice, natural places to walk. One such place is the campus at Wellesley College, specifically around their Lake Waban. It was a glorious fall day last week and I wanted to take advantage of this nice weather. Here are some of the […]

Comments Off on Things that make me happy

It really is the small things that make life worth living. As we enter the season of cooler days and longer nights, I find it important to find ways to keep my spirits up. Here are some things that make me happy. 1. Trader Joe’s Cold Brew Coconut Coffee. I treat myself to this whenever […]

Life and kayaking into the wind

September 6, 2017

I love kayaking in the fall. The beautiful, colorful leaves of the trees look especially nice from the river. The humidity is a lot less in the fall, but you still get bright sunshine. The only thing that often comes with the sunshine is the wind. The other day was sunny and the temperature was […]

New sights in Boston

August 16, 2017

So I have been enjoying my sojourns into Boston to meet with potential consulting clients. I recently was lucky to have a client located right near Fenway Park. Yes, that’s right, right next to the home of the Red Sox. I walked from Back Bay Station to this location. I was fascinated by the walk […]

We aren’t 30 anymore

August 9, 2017

I have come to the sad realization that we are not 30 years old anymore. I kind of knew this since it has been many, many years since I celebrated that birthday, but recent events have brought home this fact. No more Mexican jumping beans. In the evenings, Mr. Ken and I like to sit […]

Just do it!

July 19, 2017

This is my favorite slogan. It can apply to so many things in life, from exercising to facing unpleasant tasks. It’s funny since it is so easy for me to apply this to my exercise. I’m really good at making myself exercise, even if I don’t feel like it. I know that I will feel […]

Rocks under water

Comments Off on Rocks under water

We are off to a good start with our kayaking this year. The weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve have been mainly kayaking on the Charles […]

Nancy’s boot camp adventure

June 28, 2017

It all started way back in high school. I took one of those career/skills tests and my results came back: Your ideal career would be a. Accountant b. Physical Education teacher c. Army Drill Sergeant. Ever since then I have been fascinated by boot camp workouts. If you ask Mr. Ken, he may also say […]

Take a step back

June 21, 2017

So off I went to the dentist to get a filling fixed. The dentist is a talkative fellow. I guess he has to be so he can distract his patients from the torture, er discomfort of what he is doing. All of a sudden he stops talking and goes, “Mmmmm.” I have learned that when […]
