Since my last post nearly four years have gone by.  They were eventful years with a few significant markers along the way.  We moved house – again – and left Vermont.  We retreated to Italy.  I got a new hip.  We officially retired.  And after a bit of feeling rootless as we shuffled between family in the north and south, we landed right back where we started — Connecticut.

So here we are.  Retired folks in the ever-changing world of 2026 trying to be mindful of the beauty, calmness and order that surrounds us if we just take a moment to notice………like this cluster of forget-me-nots.

It would be difficult to categorize this blog.  It’s not just about travel or food or wellness or relationships.  I think it can best be described as a collection of observations, recollections, thoughts and wishes of a young-ish mind in an old-ish body!  I intend to have some fun.   Join me.
