Tips for watching the Super Bowl

February 7, 2018

Blah, blah, blah. I don’t like football. There is just something very weird about 300 pound men jumping on top of each other. And for this they get paid millions of dollars a year! I just don’t get it. This dates back to my junior high days when I was a cheerleader. We had a […]

The importance of a thank you

January 31, 2018

Like many of you, I was scrambling at the end of the year to get my finances in order before the new tax law changes. Part of this was donating to charities. One of the charities is my church. On December 28, I personally dropped off a rather substantial donation check to the rectory. I […]

Hiding in the bushes

January 10, 2018

Just some random thoughts this week, I’m still relaxing from Christmas break. So, I ordered some things from Amazon. And me, being the cheap, er, frugal person I am, never want to pay shipping so I had to order more stuff to make the required minimum. I think if I did the math, paying the […]

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!

December 27, 2017

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

December 13, 2017

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 […]

Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving

Comments Off on Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving

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 […]
