Time to mix things up

September 19, 2018

Comments Off on Time to mix things up

I’ve often read that it is very good for your brain to mix things up. Even doing something as simple as driving a different route to work can help. Well Mr. Ken and I decided to improve our brains this past weekend. On Sunday, we went out kayaking to our favorite spot. The weather was […]

Guess who is coming to dinner?

September 12, 2018

Or maybe I should say, guess what is for dinner? I looked out the window and this sight greeted me – a rather large wild turkey family! Those are some big birds. I tried to shoo them out of our backyard, but they just sat there and looked at me. What interesting backyard scenes have […]

Irony

September 5, 2018

I just had to laugh when I received my latest package from Amazon. I ordered some skin serum. You see that teeny, tiny bottle? Yep, that’s it. You see that humongous box? Yep, that is the box it came in. Some Amazon warehouse worker must have wanted to spice up his day. The good news […]

Buying glasses on Mars

August 29, 2018

Well, not really doing that on Mars, but a recent event reminded me of the book, “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.” Mr. Ken needed a new pair of glasses. He has had his new prescription for over 8 months, but until he broke his current pair, he didn’t get around to […]

Another vacation from technology

August 15, 2018

I felt so refreshed with my last technology-free vacation, I am going to do it again this week! I will be off the computer for a week. Enjoy this peaceful scene. It reminds me of the view from my kayak. Have you tried a vacation from technology? If not, I highly recommend it. 🙂 Peaceful […]

The Law of Attraction

August 8, 2018

Some of you may have heard of this and some of you may not. This has to do with how we perceive our life and what we want. It is sometimes misunderstood to mean that “if you think it, it will happen.” It’s a bit more complicated than that. The Law of Attraction is one […]

It is time for a vacation

August 1, 2018

I had an “aha” moment this summer: “Vacation, for me, is just as much a state of mind as a state of place.” We normally don’t go away in the summer; I don’t like the crowds. It can be fun to stick close to home. Our town is deserted since most folks go away. These […]

What is your priority?

July 25, 2018

I think it’s important to periodically review your priorities, since they may change over time. Right now, my priority is kayaking. As I tell my friends: “It’s my happy place.” Making something a priority means that you may need to schedule your life around it. This can be hard to do, but I have found […]

Mr. Ken’s latest toy

July 18, 2018

So I come home from doing errands and this sight greeted me. This is a different phone that what Mr. Ken usually uses, so I am puzzled. I am even more puzzled when said object starts making odd noises, kind of like chirping sounds. Naturally, I reach toward the phone to see what is going […]

The view from a kayak

July 11, 2018

You may have noticed that there are a lot of posts about kayaking these days. This is the summer of kayaking. I would rather be kayaking than doing anything else. We have had some glorious days and it has been heaven to be out on the water. Thought you would enjoy the views from the […]
