Why do people sit parked in their vehicles with the engine running and the windows completely closed on a gorgeous evening? Why not open the windows? Turn the car off?

Mother’s Day moments, 2018
We’re not really big on Hallmark holidays, but I do indulge in playing the Mother’s Day card once a year.

The price was a little extravagant, and … Continue reading Running for the sun and in the rain
Girls’ Getaway – Manchester, VT

Sometimes, though, we need some recharging of the fun batteries and nothing works better than two days spent in an unfamiliar place with longtime friends. With that in mind, last week we headed to Manchester, a … Continue reading Girls’ Getaway – Manchester, VT
