Being creative

April 19, 2023

Are you creative? I suppose everyone has some creativity buried within them. I am analytical. I can organize coffee pods, closets and trips. My creativity is buried very deep inside me. My friend Lisa, on the other hand, is both analytical and creative. She loves to organize things, like me. But she is also very […]

Happy Easter

April 5, 2023

Happy Easter! Happy Spring! Not only are flowers starting to bloom, but our beloved chipmunks have emerged from their “big sleep.” Bad Bunny lives by our back steps. Maxwell lives on the other side of the house. And Baby CC lives by the front steps. I hope all my blogging friends have a wonderful Easter […]

It’s Peep time!

March 29, 2023

Yes, it’s that time of year. Spring has sprung, even here in cold, snowy New England. And with spring comes Peeps! Yay! I spent all day scouring the Internet for just the right Peep pictures. And here they are. Did you know that Peeps are very versatile. Not only can you eat them plain, but […]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

March 22, 2023

In Boston, where I live, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. I love celebrating holidays, no matter what the source. I love learning about different cultures. Except I’m not a fan of traditional Irish food. Mr. Ken is Irish. He loves to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by eating the traditional corned beef and cabbage […]

Sad commentary on our times

March 15, 2023

I usually write “feel good” posts so I can add a little sunshine to our rather gloomy times. But I just had to post this. On Sunday, Mr. Ken and I went to a classical music concert at a local high school. Now this school is in a very nice Boston suburb (not the town […]

Eek – a mouse!

March 8, 2023

So Mr. Ken inspects our basement every day. He claims he is looking for leaks, but I think he is eating donuts down there. The other day he comes back upstairs and says that there is some crumbling wall near the furnace. He thinks there may be a mouse living in the walls. Eek! Mr. […]

Snow joy

March 1, 2023

I live in New England. We get snow in the winter. But to hear the media talk about this latest snow, you would think it was an unusual as Southern California getting snow. Tuesday morning, I had a doctor’s appointment. Given the state of medical care these days, the appointment was made several months ago. […]

Adventures in healthy eating

Comments Off on Adventures in healthy eating

I am inspired by this healthy eating kick. So I went to Trader Joes and bought: – avocado – sea salt – refried beans – organic spinach – organic low fat yogurt. I have a half-baked idea that I will blend all of these items together to make a healthy something. 1. Avocado. Avocado has […]

Super Bowl alternatives

February 15, 2023

I am not a football fan. Even when the New England Patriots played in the Super Bowl, I just couldn’t get into it. I suppose I enjoyed football when I was a cheerleader (way back in my junior high school days.) But even then, I couldn’t grasp the concept. We had this neat cheer we […]

The people around us

Comments Off on The people around us

In all of my exercise classes, the instructor gently urges us to “be in the present moment.” Yes, even the instructors for the more strenuous sessions say this. I understand the concept, but the execution can be challenging. I find it easy to be in the moment if I am out in nature, or if […]
