What is going on here?

July 4, 2018

Any guesses as to what is going on here? Looks to me like a kayak store! What do you think? 🙂

I was out doing my favorite thing, kayaking, the other day. It was a glorious summer day; the temperature was perfect and there was just the slightest breeze.

Evoking memories of Asheville

June 20, 2018

It is amazing how a picture can evoke so many memories. That is why I love getting pictures as souvenirs. We bought this lovely forest scene last November when we were in Asheville.

Comments Off on Let it go

This sounds a lot easier than it is. I am a person who likes to be in total control of my life. This started from a very young age and I was raised by very strict parents. My whole life was pretty much charted out for me: be a good student, get into a good […]

Spring is here – finally!

April 25, 2018

So finally this week, we were able to shed our winter coats and wear spring clothes. It sure took long enough. Now I am a die-hard New Englander, but even this cold weather threw me. Here is just one sign of spring – pansies. Did you know that the official flower of my hometown is […]
