My husband and I love to take trips that not many people have taken or at least people we know have taken. Plus, we like small hotels and resorts. We enjoy the privacy, intimacy, quiet, and okay, I’ll say it, the attention we get when there are only say 10 rooms and a guest-to-staff ration definitely in our favor! Combine this with the fact that…

Okay guys, here’s the latest and what I’m doing tomorrow. You can, of course, choose your own spectating plan, but this is one possibility. Some others were laid out in The Sport of Spectating and the first Update. I will be staying around the same area the whole time and not even venturing in town – to see my athlete anyway – until the finish….

Sometimes recipes can be “oh, so easy” and way delicious! These Easiest Scones Ever are my “go to” recipe for an after school snack, when friends show up, to serve with afternoon tea – no clotted cream for me – or just to have around the house on weekends. I use organic ingredients, but that’s my choice. I usually put strawberries on top or whatever…

August 30, 2014 It’s another beautiful morning in Mystic and I’m getting fit at 46… David and I walked under the interstate. Being a Saturday and a holiday weekend, the traffic was light. Then, he took off for his run and I did, too. It was nice to head into town along the Mystic River. The view was beautiful and being 6:30 AM, we were…

August 29, 2014 This morning we woke up and had so much time we did not know what to do with ourselves. David’s family gets up and gets going a bit later than we are used to and the meeting time to head to Mystic Seaport Museum was 10:15. By 6:45 AM, we were out the door to head for a run and get me…

August 28, 2014 And then we took the day off from getting fit at 46… Intentions were to get out of bed at 6 AM, go for a run around the beautiful neighborhood around Skidmore College, shower, wake up Sydney, have breakfast, and move her into her dorm at Skidmore. But, then this happened. At 5 AM, our really excited only daughter who’s twin brother…

August 27, 2014 It was a tough, tough morning. I knew that once I got up and got going, this would be the last full day I’d have to spend with Sydney before she officially became a college student. But, I thought maybe if I stayed in bed, reality would just go away….Then this guy said, “it’s all a good thing and what’s meant to…

When it comes to comfort food and real food, my mom takes the prize hands down. Not only is she a great cook because she’s my mom, but she just also happens to be a professional chef. This recipe for baked cod with fragrant vegetables, made with fennel, onions, cabbage, and potatoes, is one of my twins’ favorites. They always ask for it when…
