It has been bitterly cold and snowy here in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts and I haven't left the house in a day and a half. I am lucky, that I am at a point in my life when I don't have to, but there is no mail delivery and it's time. So I will take my newly serviced car, out of the gar

The snow has been constant and beautiful. After an early morning run to have my car serviced, and a scary return trip to retrieve it in a loaner, I got home to just be. My doggies were and are happy to hang out with me and the birds outside are busy flying by my window. Talk about tranquility, I

It is one of those days. We are expecting a blizzard here today and I just dropped my car off to be serviced hoping to get it back before the worst hits. I have a loaner and it took me ten minutes to find the heat. It is snowing lightly now but the forecast is for a foot or more. I hope I can fin

There was a great local Mexican place not two miles from my home in New Jersey. I went often and enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the ability to know there was always a good meal close to home. When I moved to the Berkshires I missed Mexican food and finally tried a place I had passed. It was

It is one of those days. The weather for tomorrow is foreboding and there will be a run on groceries, gas and salt. A contractor that was scheduled for today fell on black ice last night and can't come, and now....it may be weeks before this dust settles. So like everyone else, I am going out soo

Today I had my annual physical. I like my Dr. very much: she is savvy, smart and pleasant. It isn't easy to get in but once you do, she really listens and spends whatever time is necessary. I then had blood work and a second shot for pneumonia. Once you hit a certain age, I think it is 65, you ne

I am confused and frankly miffed as well. Why would you stop by, read my post and not say anything? Perhaps you found my post inane, or frivolous or worse. Just tell me, but please leave a comment. If you have nothing to say, simply say hello. I can't remember the last time I read a post and had

I love to watch and view nature where ever I find it. Sometimes I capture amazing things when I travel. Other times I have only to look out my rear window and see the beauty all around me. These two shots happened here (in the Berkshires, where I now live) within the last hours. Sunrise and Sunset.

I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a weekend as much as did this last one. It was nice to be with friends and family, enjoy some down time, and then some very special time together eating well and sharing our lives. It really is the little things and even my pups enjoyed their new toys, lar

To all who celebrate this is a very special day and I wish you a very Merry Christmas. For me, I am content to just be and I look forward to dinner tonight with family at a local Greek Restaurant that I enjoy. A be day is a good day and my pups and I are happy.
