I was over at my Mom’s house this past week, like I am every day. She gets a lot of catalogs. Since I had some time to kill, I started looking through the Vermont Country Store catalog. This brought me back in time for a number of reasons. First of all, Mr. Ken and I […]

I am deeply immersed in my volunteer consulting project. I am working more hours and much harder than I ever did when I was getting paid to work. But, you know what? I am having a blast and I wouldn’t change anything. Sure, I have some frustrating days, but on the whole, I have never […]

I just got back from a 3 day prayer and meditation retreat. Cell phones were not allowed and nor was there computer access. The retreat was held in a leafy suburb of Boston.

Just a simple post this week. I am off to a marketing conference for the rest of the week and didn’t have a chance to prepare anything deeper. Here is a picture of some pies I baked over the weekend. Or rather, I baked them while my Mom supervised. Ever since we had the stove […]
