This is a public service message from your friends in Boston. Hang in there guys! This, too, shall pass. I’ve been seeing encouraging signs […]

Time seems to pass differently during the Pandemic. Maybe it’s because our schedules have been thrown off. The other day Mr. Ken says to me: “Do you want to go to Costco tomorrow?” I replied: “Not tomorrow, I have to mail the estimated taxes.” Mr. Ken nodded and said: “Well, we can go the next […]

Actually, I don’t do resolutions any more since they don’t work for me. I used to start of all gung-ho with my list of New Year’s resolutions. By January 3, they were forgotten. So, I’ve been doing something different. Every year I pick a theme for that year. The plan is for my actions to […]

The news just keeps getting worse and worse. So I try to have something to look forward to every day. The latest is Season 4 of The Crown. As you can see, our “guys” like watching this show as well. Sir Oliver loves seeing his fellow Palace Guards; Sir Angus loves seeing his fellow Balmoral […]

Wishing all my American friends a very Happy Thanksgiving! My wish for you (and all of my blogging friends, even if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving), is for you to find something to be grateful for. It is tough with all the bad news out there. Mr. Ken and I will have a quiet dinner. Normally, […]

The news just keeps getting more and more depressing. Between the election and the COVID, there doesn’t seem to be any good news. So, this week, I thought I would focus on something to make you all smile. We all need to smile more these days. As most of you know, Mr. Ken and I […]
