Let it go

May 2, 2018

Comments Off on Let it go

This sounds a lot easier than it is. I am a person who likes to be in total control of my life. This started from a very young age and I was raised by very strict parents. My whole life was pretty much charted out for me: be a good student, get into a good […]

Spring is here – finally!

April 25, 2018

So finally this week, we were able to shed our winter coats and wear spring clothes. It sure took long enough. Now I am a die-hard New Englander, but even this cold weather threw me. Here is just one sign of spring – pansies. Did you know that the official flower of my hometown is […]

Surreal customer service

April 18, 2018

Queue the Twilight Zone music. . . I had another surreal customer service experience. On March 5, I went in person to close my account at Citizens Bank. I should have known something would be amiss since it was first day of work for the teller who helped me. Score one for the teller, he […]

Do you solemnly swear?

April 11, 2018

Death, taxes and jury duty are the only sure things in this life. My time has come to be summoned for jury duty. I got summoned to Wrentham District Court. Now Wrentham is nowhere near here I live, but since it is in the same county, I can get called there. Normally, one wouldn’t associate […]

Social media faux pas

April 4, 2018

Okay, so social media is here to stay. But it seems it is degenerating into quick hits. A few recent experiences got me thinking about how little thought we put into what we say on social media. 1. Why connect. I’m a big LinkedIn user, since it is more for professional use. I am always […]

Here we go again

March 21, 2018

So the annoying pains on the bottom of my feet turned out to be a bigger deal than I had hoped. I had surgery last Friday to remove a large neuroma (nerve growth) on the bottom of my right foot. I also had two large cysts removed, one from my right foot and one from […]

So much for spring

March 14, 2018

Well, so much for spring. We had our 3rd Nor’easter in two weeks on Tuesday. Needless to say our beloved chipmunks, having awoken from their big sleep, have gone back into hibernation. We even brought their water dishes back inside. We had one set up in the front and one in the back, since chipmunks […]

Another touch of spring

March 7, 2018

Spring will be coming soon. This pretty hyacinth is a gentle reminder of that, courtesy of Trader Joe’s. What touches of spring do you see?

What is it demystified

February 28, 2018

I know all of you have been sitting on the edge of your seats, wondering What is it? Well, it is an air cabin filter. And I bet you thought they were only for airplane cabins. Well low and behold, all cars have them. They are located behind the glove box. Mr. Ken, being the […]

What is it?

February 21, 2018

So I was sitting and reading the other day, when Mr. Ken comes bounding down the stairs. He is mumbling something about “Have to get to the store as soon as possible.” Usually, the only time Mr. Ken “bounds” is when there is a donut involved. Away he goes and comes back about an hour […]
