When I’m traveling, I find that the best way to get to know a city is to walk it. And I love to walk. So this morning I struck out in Berne (or Bern) while Ron did preparations with his team. I decided to follow the path we went our first night, when we walked... Continue Reading →
Have you ever experienced bad customer service, or dealt with someone who is so miserable that you feel like telling them to find a new job? We have all experienced those situations. Everyone has a bad day, but we have all experienced those who are just nasty, who clearly should not be providing customer service.... Continue Reading →
There is so much to love about travel. And a few things to hate. We have just started on our travel adventure to Europe. I love to explore new places, try new food, meet new people. I love to learn about the history of the different places we visit, many of which have long histories... Continue Reading →
This summer, the cucumber plants in my garden have absolutely flourished. We have eaten cucumber salads, cucumbers in salads, and just sliced cucumbers with salt and pepper. Not to complain, but we were starting to get a little tired of eating one or two cucumbers a day. So, I dug out my old refrigerator... Continue Reading →

I keep seeing posts for healthy alternatives to some classic favourite recipes. I decided the other day to try one, an alternative for Ranch dressing. This recipe uses avocado and plain Greek yogurt as the flavour base. This means it is healthy, but it certainly is not completely without fat. However, it is healthier than... Continue Reading →
I have always enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles. Recently, with extra time available for relaxing activities, I have been doing some puzzles. After a couple of 500-piece puzzles, I took on a 1000-piece puzzle. Not an easy task. But as I spent time working through the puzzle, it allowed me some quiet time to think. As... Continue Reading →
As mentioned in my last post, a love of walking has been re-awakened in me these last few weeks. Daily walks, exploring the area around us, has become a wonderful habit. I have always enjoyed going for a walk. When we used to have a dog, a daily walk - sometimes two - was a necessity.... Continue Reading →
