Time for Dairy Queen!
It was time for another road trip this weekend. And where else would we go but to our favorite Dairy Queen to get a Blizzard treat. This time we brought the “guys” with us, Sir Oliver and Sir Angus. As you can see they enjoyed the Blizzard too. We got our favorite, cappuccino heath bar […]
Yum, fresh corn
September 23, 2020
These days, it is the little things that make my day. For one, it is fresh corn from our local farmstand. It can’t get much fresher than this; they pick it every morning and bring it to the farm stand. Not to be forgotten, but we even have little corn ears for Sir Oliver and […]
Happy Sir Oliver Day!
September 9, 2020
With the continuing barrage of bad news these days, we must find reasons to celebrate. For us, we just finished celebrating Sir Oliver Day. It was a year ago on September 4, when we “adopted” Sir Oliver from the Buckingham Palace Gift Shop (that’s in London, in case you all didn’t know). So we had […]
What do you look forward to?
September 2, 2020
These days, it really is the little things that mean the most. I try to find something to look forward to every day. These days it is: 1. My morning coffee. I just have one mug, with real cream. It is such a treat and looking forward to this makes it easier to get up […]
A mini road trip!

Comments Off on A mini road trip!
Our world seems to be shrinking by the day. Now that Rhode Island is a newly re-emerging COVID hotspot, we will not be taking any trips there to visit my cousin. What is left? Trips to the grocery store, trips to Costco and what else? When all else fails, there is always Dairy Queen. It […]
Little things become big ones during the Pandemic
August 5, 2020
My attitudes sure have changed in the 5 months since the shutdown due to the Pandemic began. How many things have we all taken for granted, that now are either no longer in existence or have become big deals? Take hair cuts for instance. Now, I know in the grand scheme of things, getting one’s […]
What happens when you are stuck at home for months on end
July 29, 2020
Two words – online shopping. So normally, I am pretty disciplined when it comes to my online purchases. Well, except for exercise DVDs, but these don’t count since I consider them a necessity, up there with food and drink. 1. Feng Shui and Crystals. Feng shui, for the uninitiated, is an ancient Chinese practice of […]
A little rant
July 22, 2020
So this is rather tongue in cheek, but here goes. So my excitement last week was planning a trip to Ocean State Job Lot. Believe it or not, they have the best prices on Bob’s Red Mill Oat Bran. Yes, my local Whole Foods carries this, but it is $3.00 more per bag! It’s the […]
Gratitude
July 15, 2020
All the news is depressing, let’s face it. While one can’t crawl into a cave and be immune from all that is going on the world, there has got to be a better way. I think I’ve found it. I try to get out and walk everyday. I try to take in my surroundings and […]
God Bless America!
July 8, 2020
It is so sad and disheartening to read the news these days. America is being torn apart and sometimes I feel powerless to do anything about it. And yet, I believe that we will survive and somehow pull together as a nation. The 4th of July is a bittersweet time for me since my Dad […]
