Many of you don’t know much about my past. I haven’t shared it with you. There is no particular reason for this except that it doesn’t fit the mold of “food-travel-beekeeping blog”. The time has come…for me to tell you a bit about my past and how I spent a big part of last week. For over […]
Have you ever had one of “those” experiences that you know you will never forget? An occurrence that isn’t planned or even thought of. For me it’s the “sweet spot” of life. Drinking wine with American screenwriter Robert Kamen at his vineyard on our “Tour de California”, was unequivocally the highlight of our tour! Totally unplanned, unforeseen […]

Autumn in Texas is a quick browning of the leaves with minimal colors to enjoy and […]
The second wine tasting on our “Tour de California”, on this warm June day, brought us to Hanzell Vineyard. The wine cellar, 34 feet underground was a welcome respite from the rising temps in Sonoma. The cellar remains at a constant temperature of 57*F, the perfect temperature for barrel aging. We took a moment to stop and enjoy the […]

I want to share the stories from the vineyards we visited as well as relate the delicious wines we enjoyed. We primarily stayed away […]
Today at yoga practice the teacher encouraged us to focus on peace. Sounds rather cliche for a yoga class – wouldn’t you say? In spite of that, the concept was not only to focus on peace within ourselves but how a small, kind gesture to another can help to spread peace one step at a […]
In mid-July I traveled to New York City for the BlogHer15 conference. The conference schedule is non-stop but I found that I had a few free hours midweek to explore the city. Having lived in NYC for a couple of years, back in the day, I wasn’t interested in merely pounding the pavement and hitting all […]
Recently my man Dan and I traveled to California for many reasons. The #1 reason was to visit our daughter and son-in-law in Napa. Another reason we made this plan is; a few months back while dining with some great friends in Texas we were exchanging vacation ideas and talked about a trip to northern California. Our […]
Recently I had the pleasure of attending a walking food tour in Charlotte, N.C. My daughter was visiting from Napa, where we had taken a food tour back in January. She suggested a local tour in North Carolina and since I thoroughly enjoy these kinds of “tours” I hooked us up with Tour de Food – […]
Traveling is at the top of my “favorites list”. Jetting across the country, seeing the U.S.A by car or flying overseas I have a list of “must haves” and it is imperative I don’t leave home without them! When you travel do you haphazardly pack and throw things together at the last minute or do […]
