I went to Mounts Botanical Garden, where I volunteer, for the first time since my surgery. I would normally be in the garden, guiding tour groups, two or three times a month during the winter and spring. I obviously haven’t been able to do that for a while. Next week,…

We are back in our usual routine, with Ken cooking on Tuesday evenings. He had chosen to make a Cooking Light version of chicken corn chowder. It turned out to be a great choice; I started with a head cold on Sunday afternoon, and there’s nothing better when you have…

Spring training has begun, I always look forward to college baseball and softball games in the spring, and Ken gave me a baseball glove for Christmas, so one of these days I need to break it in with some pitch-and-catch in the yard. I’m better at catching than hitting a…

What experiences in life helped you grow the most? I had been asked to sing at a funeral. It wasn’t just any funeral. The wife of a prominent car dealer in Miami had been killed, along with two other people, in what police described as a targeted attack. Because of…

I don’t know about you, but if I’ve eaten cheesecake at lunch, I’m really not interested in eating a lot for dinner. Even though Ken and I had both chosen a salad as our entree at Ocean Grill on Friday, we had decided to make a salad for dinner to…

I promised a post about our lunch in Vero Beach yesterday, because it was a delicious meal in an unusual setting. There aren’t many places where you can look out at the surf while you eat, but that’s a feature of the Ocean Grill. Built in 1941, it’s built on…

It’s not my intention to make those of you who are still experiencing cold weather or who are far from a coast, but I have to share some pictures I took this morning, as we walked on the beach at Vero Beach. We don’t really need to drive 80 miles…
