I just love summer celebrations and I especially love the 4th of July. I was out doing errands the other day and came across this interesting sight.

So our beloved Toby loves hummingbirds. He has been anxiously awaiting their arrival back from South America, where they winter. (Yes, these teeny, tiny birds fly all the way to and from South America.) Well, the little birds have arrived. Toby is happy watching them come to the feeder. If you look closely at the […]

As the Covid news gets a bit better, it should be time to venture out more. At least for some of us who have been hermits for the past two years. Last Sunday, Mr. Ken and I went to a talk at our local library. I was a little bit nervous going there since the […]

So Mr. Ken and I came home from our weekly hike and I was excited to see two packages from Amazon awaiting us. Mr. Ken looked at me and said, “What did you order from Amazon this time?” I replied, “Um, I can’t remember.” And then Mr. Ken gave me another look. You all know […]
