Cool weather is upon us

November 16, 2016

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 […]

Find your creative side

November 9, 2016

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 […]

The power of a phone call

November 2, 2016

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 […]

Reflections on an early morning walk

October 12, 2016

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. As I look ahead to foot surgery in December, I want to get the most I can out of moving and walking while I […]

A visitor to our new front steps

October 5, 2016

Since I started a new consulting project, I haven’t had much time to think about blogging. We just had our front side steps redone and they look great. And, more importantly, one of our “pet” chipmunks, named Peep, has given them his stamp of approval. Note the little white object in the lower right corner […]

Mystery object revealed

September 21, 2016

My first attempt at taking a picture of the “real” object. Can we say, “oops?” I guess I will never make a living as a photographer. Here it is. You may still not know what it is, so I shall tell you. It’s a little barre ball. A what???? It’s a small ball that can […]

What is it?????

September 14, 2016

What do you think? A word to some of my friends (and you know who you are) – you will know immediately what this is.

Healthy herb adventures

September 7, 2016

I suffer from periodic bouts of gastritis. And as much as I like natural stuff, I’m all for taking a pill to make things better. Except, as with most medicines, the cure can kill you as much as the ailment. So I have been on a quest to find a more natural way to heal. […]

Chipmunks=2; Mr. Ken=0

August 31, 2016

As most of you probably know, we have several chipmunks that we consider our “pets.” They come right up to us and eat out of our hands. Well one day, Mr. Ken happened to look out the front door to see if his beloved “Peep” had collected the peanut treats he had left out for […]

My weekend

August 24, 2016

So here’s a picture diary of how I spent my weekend. Enjoy! 🙂 1. Gift time. Mr. Ken was in Charleston, South Carolina visiting family. He returned bearing gifts. This is just what everyone wants and needs – a bandana with cows and sport balls. Who says that Mr. Ken isn’t a romantic? FYI – […]
