An Exceptional Experience
http://www.youtube.com/watch New to videos so practicing with this new series of exploring the local area around me. Besides the health benefits of being outdoors and learning new things, the discovery of wonderful things in my backyard or within a small distance from me, demonstrates how much, even in our seemingly insignificant spaces there is so […]
It took me a week from the new year to sit down and write. I had, as I have done many a year after year after year, consigned myself to do what I love to do and sit down and write more. Of course, with the new year in mind, I was waiting for that […]
Two ladies walk onto a train. One says, “This is going to be fun!” The other says, “Yes, but I’m a bit nervous.” By the end of the trip, the two ladies walk off the train. One says, “Let’s do this again.” The other says, “Yes, but not by the f*#king train.” Amsterdam, rich in […]
There aren’t a lot of options in the once rural dominated city of Fayetteville, North Carolina. However, with the expansion of Interstate 295 and a recent addition of a minor league baseball team, the Fayetteville Woodpeckers, some unique and wonderful businesses are popping up.

I flew into Newark, NJ to meet my husband, brother, and my husband’s family for a long weekend in NYC. It was a much more productive trip than our last visit last December when it rained seventy five percent of the time. The first day, my brother and I rambled from midtown to Central Park. […]
In August, I traveled to the island of Oahu, Hawaii visiting my best friend in the countryside of Wailua. Spending four days on the Tin Roof Ranch Farm was lovely and just what a hard working woman needed to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Just five minutes down […]
What was once a Rockefeller winter estate, just north of Fayetteville and Fort Bragg, North Carolina is what is now known as Carvers Creek State Park. Here you can find several trails that loop around the estate. Several historic buildings remain on the land and are being restored for public tours. A mill pond has been […]
One of our favorite past times with our pups is taking them to Mott Lake. Located on Fort Bragg with public access via Plank Road, this lake has become increasingly popular since we arrived in 2015. However, a recent tragedy may discourage avid goers from future visits. We often head out to Plank Road for […]
