Yet more Pandemic tales

January 19, 2022

As we enter the second year of the Pandemic, time seems to slow down. And, once again, I find myself doing and thinking things that I would not have dreamed of before the Pandemic. Having lots of time to look at stuff Since Omicron is raging, I am even more reluctant to go into a […]

Winter Wonderland

January 12, 2022

A simple and quick post this week. Mr. Ken hasn’t done anything goofy lately. And I haven’t really been out anywhere so I can’t write about our adventures. We just had our first snowfall of the season. Snow can be fun, as long as you don’t have to go anywhere. The day after a snowfall […]

Taking a fresh look at my surroundings

January 5, 2022

My hip has been bothering me, so I have had to drastically cut back on my walking. I still prevail a little bit though. I no longer take walking for granted and I savor every step. Even when I walk the same route, there is always something new and interesting to see. I thought I […]

Empty box mania

December 8, 2021

There is such a thing as “too much of a good thing!” After my cleaning frenzy for the past few weeks, I can’t seem to get organizing out of my mind. So now everytime we get a delivery from our online orders, albeit Amazon, Zappos, or Total Fitness DVDs, I keep the box. My thinking […]

A clean sweep

December 1, 2021

So it isn’t often that I get into an extreme cleaning mode, but when I do, watch out! A few weeks ago, the urge to clean hit me. At first glance around our home, it looks clean and uncluttered. However, when one starts opening closets and drawers, it’s a whole different story. I decided to […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

What would Thanksgiving be without a chipmunk card? Once again, my dear cousin, Lib, came through with another cute chipmunk card. Wishing all my American friends and very Happy Thanksgiving! May your Thanksgiving Day be filled with love, laughter and gratitude. To all of my other dear friends, I wish you happiness and peace. What […]

The joy of random conversations

November 17, 2021

I try to approach each day with joy, gratitude and an open heart. It really makes a difference! Even the most mundane of errands can turn into a happy experience. I had an especially nice experience the other day. I got out of my car in the local Trader Joe’s parking lot and next to […]
