The cookie saga

January 3, 2018

Betty Crocker, I am not. Ever since my dear friend Lisa and I had a pretzel explosion when attempting to make pretzels, I have stayed away from the kitchen. I decided to make Christmas cookies this year. I view baking like chemistry and see it as just a matter of mixing ingredients together. I read […]

Joyous Christmas!

Wishing all my WordPress friends a very joyous Christmas and a happy and healthy 2018! I have my dear cousin Lib to thank for this picture. She sent me a Christmas card with this adorable little creature on the front. I can just picture one of our little guys prancing around like ballerinas. Let’s be […]

Little things can make a BIG difference

With the shorter days, I find it a lot easier to fit in my meditation practice. One of my meditation teachers gently tells us to, “Stop wanting things to be different. Be content with things just the way they are.” We all want something in our lives to be different; if only I had more […]

What do the holidays mean?

Comments Off on What do the holidays mean?

After my rousing pod walk on Thanksgiving Day, I was very much looking forward to sitting in our family room, enjoying the sun streaming through the windows, drinking a nice cup of coffee and reading the paper. The calm before the storm, so to speak. We invited our neighbor over for a Thanksgiving meal. I […]

Adventures of Ken and Nancy – Part 2

November 29, 2017

I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seat, just wondering where Ken and Nancy went on vacation. Well, the answer is beautiful Asheville, North Carolina! I think the pictures of the Biltmore Estate gave it away, that, along with the mountain views. Two things that Asheville is known for. Here […]

I couldn’t resist a chipmunk picture for my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. The adventures of Ken and Nancy will return next week. Once again I attempted to bake pumpkin pies. I gave one of my baked pies to my cousin last year and she is still alive, so I guess all is well. They don’t look […]

Where in the world are Ken and Nancy?

November 15, 2017

A bit of a mystery this week. Can you guess where Mr. Ken and I vacationed last week? The only hint I will give is that it is in the mountains and I am now tempted to start saying, “Y’all” instead of “You all.” All will be revealed next week, so stay tuned. In the […]

More fall scenes

Comments Off on More fall scenes

I just love fall in New England. The crisp, clear days and beautiful colors make up for some of the awful winters we have. One of our local churches has a pumpkin festival every year. They sell every imaginable size and shape of pumpkin and donate the proceeds to charity. Enjoy!

A local walk in the woods

Even though I live in a suburban, built-up area, I can still find nice, natural places to walk.  One such place is the campus at Wellesley College, specifically around their Lake Waban. It was a glorious fall day last week and I wanted to take advantage of this nice weather.  Here are some of the […]

Working in the 21st Century

Boy, times sure have changed. Sometimes I feel that I was born in the wrong century. My volunteer consulting project recently started up. I am very excited about this year’s team since we have a mix of both “older” volunteers (older meaning they are over 50) and “younger” volunteers (younger being under 30). Everyone is […]
