Seeing my hometown through new eyes

January 8, 2020

Because of all my foot angst, 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 would […]

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2020

Okay, so we can’t predict the future. We can’t really control the future. All we have is the present moment. Easier concept to say than to understand. Like most people, I had been big on New Year’s resolutions. And having just one resolution would not do, I would have a list of ten. Needless to […]

Merry Christmas from Sir Oliver

Comments Off on Merry Christmas from Sir Oliver

Sir Oliver is all excited because he got one of his Christmas gifts early this year. As you can see, it’s a little drum and he just loves it. We’ve had to set some rules, however. No banging on it before 7 am and after 8 pm. Sir Oliver also has his own little Christmas […]

The adventures of Sir Oliver – Part 2

December 11, 2019

Yes, there are more adventures of our beloved Sir Oliver! 1. Sir Oliver watching his favorite show, “The Crown.” Sir Oliver is a bit homesick for London. He especially loves seeing his beloved Queen Elizabeth and his original home, Buckingham Palace. 2. Sir Oliver watching the little birds at the bird feeder. The little birds […]

Wishing all a very happy Thanksgiving!

November 27, 2019

It’s that time of year when I love to stop and think about how grateful I am for all the blessings in my life. This adorable chipmunk picture always makes me smile. This year I am grateful for: * My wonderful husband Mr. Ken, who is my adventure partner and who makes me laugh every […]

Giving up information

Comments Off on Giving up information

We do live in an information-based society. Most, or maybe just some, of us, are very careful about what we share online. But it’s funny how we react to things. A dear friend and I went to a financial seminar the other night. The topic was, “Managing your Retirment,” which is something we all need […]

Screeech!

October 30, 2019

So I recently celebrated a birthday. Never mind which one. . . Mr. Ken says to me, “How about we celebrate your birthday by going to a talk on owls? There will even be live owls there!” Um, okay. I’m really not a bird person, chipmunks yes, but not birds. I was a bit apprehensive […]

The London adventure – Part 6

Comments Off on The London adventure – Part 6

Yep, we took lots of pictures when we were in London. It’s fun to go back and look at them, so we can relive our vacation. I’m usually not a visual person, but when I think back on our trip, images come to mind. This picture of a quintessential English pub, with pretty flowers, brings […]

The London adventure – Part 5

October 16, 2019

Still(!) more London pictures, thanks to Mr. Ken. 1. Royal Guards. The Royal Mews is a part of Buckingham Palace. The Royal Guards sit on these magnificent animals. What a beautiful site! 2. God save the Queen. In addition to our dear Sir Oliver, we just had to get this refrigerator magnet. This sums up […]

The London adventure – Part 4

October 9, 2019

Thank goodness Mr. Ken is the photographer in the family. Otherwise, you’d all be seeing pictures of pavement and sky. I blame it on my lack of spatial awareness. 1. Love of monarchy. As the citizen of a pure democracy (well, more or less “pure”), I don’t completely get the concept of a monarchy. It […]
