Donut days

June 10, 2020

So our dear Mr. Ken managed to really hurt his shoulder, so we have to take a rest from kayaking for a while. We are both bummed since when we are out on the water, life seems almost normal. But, better to be safe than sorry. Since we are still sheltering at home, there is […]

Comments Off on COVID surprises

Ack, I probably shouldn’t use the word “Covid” and the word “surprise” in the same sentence. Enough with the Covid already! I don’t know about you all, but since I have sheltering in place, I’ve had a lot of time to think. As I was reflecting this weekend, I realized that I have been surprised […]

Scenes from a Memorial Day paddle

May 27, 2020

I am happy since we got to go out kayaking last weekend. It was a glorious sunny day, with perfect temperatures. Kayakying is always my “happy place,” but it is especially so this year. When I’m out on the water, life seems almost normal. There are no worries about coronavirus or anything else. We saw […]

Kayaking!

May 20, 2020

It’s that time of year again and boy am I ready for it. It’s kayaking time! We store our kayaks (all 4 of them) in the basement over the winter. It is quite the production getting them up the bulk head and into the garage. Hah, it seems to get harder and harder each year. […]

Taking up a new hobby

May 13, 2020

I have not figured out what my new hobby will be. I guess it will have to be something I can do at home, with the materials I have on hand. However, our dear Sir Angus and Sir Oliver have taken up a new hobby – painting! That is when they are not trying to […]

Oh no, not another post about the Pandemic. Enough already! Now that I’m stuck at home, all I have is time. Here’s what is happening at our house this week: 1. What’s for dinner. Mr. Ken and I have undergone a change in roles. I now do the grocery shopping and meal planning. Especially for […]

Happy Easter and Happy Spring!

April 15, 2020

Nothing about the pandemic this week; we’re all overloaded with information about that. I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter and a Happy Spring! What could be cuter than a chipmunk? A big thank you to my friend Lisa for sending me this picture. 🙂

Tales from the Pandemic

April 1, 2020

Okay, so we’re all hunkered down in our living spaces, probably going a bit stir crazy. After all, how many YouTube videos can one watch in a day? Here is some light reading to brighten your day. 1. The shopping frenzy. No, I’m not going to bemoan the scarcity of toilet paper. We’ve heard enough […]

Finding hope

March 25, 2020

Even I as an eternal optimist, am struggling to find hope in these dark times, but I have. Here are a few bright spots for our dark days. 1. Neighbor helping neighbor. I belong to my town’s Facebook group. Our local food pantry had posted a need for food, asking folks to go to the […]

No comment

March 18, 2020

We all know what is on everyone’s minds these days. Such interesting, yet sad times. I opened the paper last week and this was the headline: And the insert inside the paper was even better: Mmmm, so much for trying not to panic. This picture says it all though: Stay calm, stay well and wash […]
