One of the earliest memories I have is going with Granny to the nursing home to visit her father, Pa. We never stayed long, just a few minutes (probably because she had a little rugrat in tow!)–just long enough to say hi, ask how Pa was doing and hand over a bag of candy. My … Continue reading A Peep at My Sweet Tooth
Remember my post about Wine Pairing where I mentioned a special Burgundy I had collecting dust at the bottom of my wine rack? Well, I recently went to Florida to celebrate the Big Birthday (a little early) with the BFF & BFFH. I thought it would be the perfect time to take The Burgundy along … Continue reading Savoring Life
Yesterday started my birthday week. By that, I don’t mean it’s the week of my birthday, but rather: starting yesterday, I have at least one birthday a day until the end of the month (and yes, I know it’s technically 8 days, but channel your inner Beatles and work with me here people!). The only … Continue reading Birthdays Galore!
There are a lot of types of love in the world. All of them special in their own way, but nothing–NOTHING–is better than the love you get from your grandparents.

Mainly due to it not turning into a Ph.D. dissertation. I did a lot of drinking and even more culling & without further … Continue reading Wine Pairing
The lucky winner of this TBT is my BFF and BFFH, whose anniversary is this week. I can’t divulge with you the exact date date because they had a “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” wedding. A few years ago, they moved within driving distance to Disney World. On one of my first trips … Continue reading An Epcot Throwback
A couple of weeks ago, I got a text from Aunt Kathy that read: OMG, been eating squash for only a week and already tired of it! Anybody have recipe suggestions? Of course, since this was a group text the rest of the evening was spent with my cousin (who lives in IL) and I trying … Continue reading The Great Squash Debate
A few days ago there was a spectacular storm that swept through New York City. Naturally, social media of every shape and form was quickly filled with stunning pictures, like the one below. If you’d like to see more of this storm, click on the photo and you’ll get to see a lot of amazing photos. But this one–this … Continue reading Independence.
