A castle room renovation included an up-cycled door insert as a mercury glass mirror.
Don’t buy that stuff ! You can make you own at home and it’s super easy.
When your cousin marries a fabulous guy, you make her anything she needs for the Big Day! That includes 100 jars of tasty, low sugar blueberry jam with berries straight from the farm.
Get out there, it’s lovely out. (well, it was today)
Check the Local Haunts for some places to visit. Why did the chicken cross the road? Beacuse it’s a railroad CROSSING! And besides, it’s Ybor City…urban poultry.
I spend an inordinate amount of time in my favorite space, creating and changing recipes to fit a more healthy – and completely doable – lifestyle.
“to dance artlessly, without particular grace or skill but usually with enjoyment” – That pretty much sums up what goes on in my head most of the time. Here’s a collection of miscellaneous fun favorites.
Get out there! Check out my adventures near and far.
It’s no secret that I now work for The Mamo Team at Keller Williams. Learning a new trade is interesting, fun, and exhausting (I’m too old for this s%#@!). Although, as the Marketing Coordinator, it’s really right up my alley. I’ve got this 😉 That said, before I post something to the corporate Blog, I’m […] Read more…
You’re welcome. Yes, it’s that time of year here in Tampa and Ye Mystic Krewe of the ‘Jose Gaspar’ has kidnapped the Mayor…or do they rescue him/her? Who knows – who cares. It’s Gasparilla !!! This year our ‘cousin-in-law’ who lives in the swanky spot of Tampa called Davis Island, (*sigh*) invited us to come […] Read more…
Tony Bennet might really have left his heart in San Fransisco, he wasn’t the first. He’ll, by no means be the last. Mine went home – begrudgingly. We left Yosemite and headed west for our estimated 3.5 hour drive. Our original plans had us with the idea of driving up through Napa and down into […] Read more…
This should be on everybody’s Bucket List. Period. A few days before we left on our big adventure, we had watched a Ken Burns documentary called The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. I like Mr.Burns work, and this one did not disappoint. I learned so much. I really didn’t realize that we, as Americans, came […] Read more…
I still don’t know why they don’t call it Yos-e-mite? Then again, that’s probably why I’m not an English major. Last post had us in Santa Barbara, well fed and rested. The next morning, we went for some breakfast before we headed out. Does anyone remember Sambos? I used to LOVE Sambos! I even had […] Read more…
After our ordeal with Amtrak, we slept very soundly in little enclave of peace and quiet known as the Beachside Inn Best Western, Santa Barbara. I have to make a note here about the Best Western name that keeps popping up. In my planning of this trip, I had big plans to save money here […] Read more…
If you haven’t seen ‘Planes, Trains, and Automobiles’, well you should… then think back to the movie ‘Speed’. Yes, the one with the miserable people on an LA bus…. ok, now that I’ve set that stage, let’s move on to Day 4 of our EPIC trip. We said our goodbyes and left Pala heading west down […] Read more…
It’s been more than a few days that I’ve waited to post this, and there are a couple of reasons why. First, as the days progress people off load their own pics to their Facebook feeds and I can pick up some better ones than I have. Second, and lastly, the Brides family has incurred […] Read more…
We’re here for a wedding folks and I just couldn’t wait ! So, when we last chatted, I described to you that we were staying in the ‘bunkhouse’ on the Condors Nest Ranch property. When we awoke (early because we were on East Coast time) the weather was less than ideal. Will had already been […] Read more…
So, we flew into San Diego on Thursday, knowing we’d need to be in Pala, CA for a Friday evening Rehersal Dinner invite. Yesterday I showed you all the things we saw along the way. Honestly, the trip through the mountains was a bit uneventful and didn’t garner many pics. In fact, I was wondering […] Read more…
