Over the weekend, I spent a wonderful day with my oldest niece, Riley. She is one of the brightest stars in my night sky. There is nothing I would not do for her or my youngest niece, Taylor (another bright star in my sky). Riley is 13 going on mature levels that most adults I know never reach. She is smart, funny, and stunning. I … Continue reading The Reasons We Are Blessed

There is nothing better … Continue reading Far Side of the World

On 95, more rain … Continue reading Key West…a Recap

The last time I stayed in Asheville, I stayed in … Continue reading Asheville, NC
The trip to Charleston swung into action the moment I saw that The Constellations were opening up for Minus the Bear at the Music Farm. Joining me for the show would be Suzanne & Krissie.
