iPHONE PICS & GOINGS ON Last Sunday Rob, Kayleigh, and I rode out to where our Boy Scout troop will start meeting. With COVID our troop has had very little activity. We could have met at a public park, but we have seen some much COVID shaming and strangers posting pictures of kids not wearing …

Part of being a consummate foodie (and/or travel bug) is the joy of experimentation. I, of course, enjoy trying new cuisines and new recipes. I love the art of experimenting with different combinations of flavors and textures. Being bold and pushing your tolerance for the strange (and the incredibly spicy). And for a certain kind …
Today I’m continuing to talk about what we did on our Rochester, NY trip. This was our 3rd day. However, we got up ate breakfast at the hotel and drove about 3 hours across the border to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Yeah, so I love old bridges and I always take pictures of them. There’s usually …

Traveling is a piece of cake, right?! If you had a dime for every person who told you that your glorified vacation was easy, you’d be a millionaire. Look, nobody is going to debate the lifestyle – it’s one of the reasons you love to take breaks as much as you do. However, it’s by …
September is one of my favorite months. Beginning of fall, back to school (back in the day when I was a student), cooler weather (hopefully), college football (hopefully), and my birthday month! It’s time for another currently post, so here we go! I am really /appreciating/ being able to work from home most weeks. It …
I wasn’t sure what call this post, because it wasn’t technically a commencement for Drew. However, its as a close as we’re gonna get to a ceremony. He got all dressed up (for pics mainly) and wore his cap and gown. We got to go into the stadium and he got his name up on …

I sure hope the temps start getting cooler. Anyway, I’m once again linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What’s Up Wednesday to recap some …
