I cannot remember which grade I was in, … Continue reading Mother’s Day 2021 | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 8, 2021

It is almost three o’clock on what has been a very cold day. When Dale was walking our dog Molly just a short time ago, it was windy, and there were snowflakes in the air.

Good Friday | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 2, 2021

The Best of Times | Walk With Ken Boyle – March 21, 2021
Charles Dickens begins his novel The Tale of Two Cities with the sentence, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” As I begin my walk with you, those words come to mind.

The time is five-thirty in the evening, and the day has been warmer and less windy than earlier this week.

Thanksgiving | Walk With Ken Boyle – November 22, 2020
I’m so sorry I have not walked with you for a time for I have missed our walks together. My oldest brother told me how busy he was after he retired, and I questioned that would happen when I retired.
