This summer my man Dan and I traveled to Northern California, Napa and Sonoma, specifically, for our vacation. I am on the verge of writing a series of posts with regard to our trip. I want to share the stories from the vineyards we visited as well as relate the delicious wines we enjoyed. We primarily stayed away […]
Sonoma Wine Tour
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 […]
Travel Necessities
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 […]

I always bring my own – do you? I usually make my own “trail mix” and bring some chocolate and fruit or cheese in my carry-on to keep me satisfied. I mean, […]
A Week In Napa
Recently I had the pleasure of spending a week in Napa, California. Most of us are familiar with the name “Napa”. It conjures up visions of countless vineyards and tasting rooms complete with limos whisking groups of fun-loving tasters from tasting room to tasting room, empty nesters strolling through the wineries, sipping glasses of Cab whilst enjoying each […]
2014 and the Greensboro Adventure
I completely missed my date of return. In my final post of 2013 I indicated I’d be back up and running by November. I didn’t mean to lie but I should have known better. If you have been following my blog for anytime and read the last post you know my husband was working out […]
Enjoy!
2013 has arrived and brought with it a big change for me. You may or may not have noticed my absence lately. I have felt it daily, my absence. I’ve not blogged once in this new month and I’ve missed it terribly. I have particularly missed the cooking and eating part of writing a food […]
Potato-Gorgonzola Gratin
Today is Friday. I feel as if it is Tuesday or Wednesday. Does that ever happen to you? There is a change in the way your week generally goes and the next thing you know, you don’t know what day it is! Adoring hubby and I took off for the hill country,
Dark and Stormy
This summer while vacationing in the British Virgin Islands I had the pleasure of being introduced to this cocktail. It has become my preferred libation on hot afternoons of late. The refreshing taste of ginger beer and the strong rum flavor will surely take me through fall months as well, I seriously like this drink! […]
Same Song Second Verse
Last summer I posted a story about the Mt. Gainor Inn, a B&B in Dripping Springs, Texas. You can read it here: http://74.220.215.203/~theoran3. If you have not yet visited I strongly encourage you to do so. With fall upon us the Texas hill country is a beautiful, peaceful place to kick back and unwind for a couple […]
