Wi-Fi is good in your house; it is good in public places and it is good on airplanes. But in a garage for a sprinkler system? Well, Mr. Ken says absolutely! The workings of any sprinkler system escape me. Where is the on/off switch? Why are there so many buttons? Here is the old-school sprinkler […]

Do you know what these things are? To me, they look like some fancy magic markers. According to Mr. Ken, they are the very important voltage testers. Say what? Why would someone want to test voltage? Maybe if you are an electrician. . . And of course, one needs two of these. Why? Just because. […]

Tea seems to be my theme for this spring. My dear friend Lisa invited me to an afternoon tea at Fancy That. This is an adorable tea house and gift shop, based in an old Victorian mansion. We arrived and were led to a lovely, sun-drenched private room. It was as if we were having […]

So my dear Mr. Ken is the quintessential car guy. Last week, he had a bad cold. (And yes it really was a cold and not COVID; he did lots of COVID tests – all negative.) Last week was his birthday and on his birthday it was raining. Most people would take “their” special day […]

I am slowly starting to emerge from COVID isolation/hibernation. My friend Lisa and I had a really fun experience a few weeks ago. We went to a tea tasting at the Golden Ball Tavern, a cool historic place in Weston, Massachusetts. From the Golden Ball Tavern website: “The Golden Ball Tavern Museum offers visitors a […]

My dear mother-in-law recently sent me some yummy chocolates. Yes, I am a health fanatic, but I do love my chocolate. But . . .Mr. Ken was just as excited as I was to get this chocolate. (And Toby was too, since he has a wicked sweet tooth.) I can ration the chocolate and make […]

I was a Math and Science major in college, and spent a good deal of my career as a project manager for technical projects. Hah, you would think that using technology would be second nature to me. Well, not quite. Hello, hello. Can anyone hear me? I remember the first time I was using my […]

So I live in New England and even with the infamous “global warming,” it is cold and snowy. It can get depressing to be stuck inside for months on end. Mr. Ken and I enjoy hiking all year long. A few days ago, we decided to emerge from “hibernation” and go for a hike at […]
