Comments Off on Eating out in Vermont

As you can probably tell by all the blogs I write about Vermont, I love the state! It is scenic, the people are friendly and most importantly, it isn’t crowded. However, being out in nature can pose some challenges. Going out to eat, for example. You can’t just hop in your car and drive 5 […]

Yummy food on Vermont vacation

October 9, 2024

Why is it that when one is on vacation, all one can think about is the next meal? Maybe it’s because we’re relaxed. Mr. Ken and I are not foodies, but we do enjoy our Vermont food. Here are some of the yummy things we ate. We love staying in places that have full kitchens. […]

Comments Off on Whose recliner?

So we have a new piece of furniture in the house. I think this is the first piece we’ve bought in about 30 years. 🙂 Mr. Ken has always wanted a recliner. So off we went to La-Z-Boy. We lucked out since we could take advantage of the tax-free weekend in Massachusetts. The recliner is […]

Deceptive marketing

September 18, 2024

I try to eat healthy. Hah, the operative word here is “try.” I know yogurt is good for you since it has calcium, protein and probiotics. I also try to be mindful of my sugar and fat consumption. I was excited to see this latest yogurt by Chobani, sugar-free no less! Greek yogurt has more […]

We just celebrated a special day for one of our “Guys”. On September 4, 2019 we adopted dear Sir Oliver from the Buckingham Palace gift shop while we were in London.

Everything about our place was well planned. Here is the view from the kitchen window. There is something so homey and […]

More Northampton neighborhood scenes

August 28, 2024

Can you tell that I loved our time in Northampton? We were only there for three nights, but there were so many interesting things to see. We stayed at a lovely Airbnb, right outside of downtown Northampton. I loved walking around the residential neighborhood and seeing some unique sights. This neighborhood, like a lot of […]

The reclusive and mysterious Emily Dickinson

August 21, 2024

Emily Dickinson is one of the leading 19th century American poets. Her honest and uninhibited writing made her an early feminist voice, even as she maintained an outward appearance of submissiveness. One of her most famous quotes: “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.” Emily Dickinson was born in 1830 at […]

Out and about around Northampton

August 14, 2024

Even though Mr. Ken and I only spent a few days in Northampton, we saw a lot. Here are some more scenes from Northampton and the surrounding areas. I love crystals. (Mr. Ken calls them Pet Rocks. . .) I was very excited to learn of a crystal store, Groundings, located in Florence, which is […]

Victorian Gothic houses in Northampton

August 7, 2024

I don’t even know if “Victorian Gothic” is even a style, but it aptly describes a lot of the houses in Northampton. Everywhere I walked, I saw such interesting old houses, no two alike. No cookie cutter suburban sprawl here! Several houses looked like haunted houses to me. I think the style of the blue […]
