Comments Off on Stratton Village – summer fun

Even though Stratton Village and Mountain are known for winter fun, there’s lots to do there in the summer too. One glorious sunny afternoon we decided to make a trip up to Stratton Mountain. Even though winter is their busy season, there is lots of stuff going on in the summer as well. As with […]

Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Comments Off on Lovely Grafton and Chester Vermont

Grafton Vermont is the quintessential Vermont town. I just love visiting here. The townspeople take a lot of pride in their town; there are always beautiful baskets of flowers along the road. Even the trip there is so “Vermont.” The road to Grafton is mainly a dirt road. Actually, over 50% of the roads in […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2024

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it is all about family, friends and being thankful for all my blessings. Even though November in New England is cold, dark and dreary, the holiday thoughts brighten my day. And what could be cuter than a Chipmunk Thanksgiving! Even though our little friends have gone in for their […]

Trees everywhere

November 20, 2024

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is all the forests. It is just so relaxing driving around and seeing just woods, instead of ugly built up areas. There are lots of places to hike in Vermont too. This year, Mr. Ken and I decided to do the easy hikes. Our lovely host […]

One of the (many) things I love about Vermont is the pretty scenery you see everywhere. All roads have nice views. Here are a few of my favorite scenes. Vermont has lots of trees.

Beware the bears

October 23, 2024

Mr. Ken and I did more than just eat on our vacation. We managed to get out and have some lovely hikes. When we visited Vermont in July, it was super hot! It did feel much cooler walking around in the woods though, especially if we were near a stream. Here are some scenes from […]

Comments Off on Eating out in Vermont

As you can probably tell by all the blogs I write about Vermont, I love the state! It is scenic, the people are friendly and most importantly, it isn’t crowded. However, being out in nature can pose some challenges. Going out to eat, for example. You can’t just hop in your car and drive 5 […]

Yummy food on Vermont vacation

October 9, 2024

Why is it that when one is on vacation, all one can think about is the next meal? Maybe it’s because we’re relaxed. Mr. Ken and I are not foodies, but we do enjoy our Vermont food. Here are some of the yummy things we ate. We love staying in places that have full kitchens. […]

Whose recliner?

Comments Off on Whose recliner?

So we have a new piece of furniture in the house. I think this is the first piece we’ve bought in about 30 years. 🙂 Mr. Ken has always wanted a recliner. So off we went to La-Z-Boy. We lucked out since we could take advantage of the tax-free weekend in Massachusetts. The recliner is […]

Deceptive marketing

September 18, 2024

I try to eat healthy. Hah, the operative word here is “try.” I know yogurt is good for you since it has calcium, protein and probiotics. I also try to be mindful of my sugar and fat consumption. I was excited to see this latest yogurt by Chobani, sugar-free no less! Greek yogurt has more […]
