I’ve named my trusty phone GPS Maps voice “Stella”, and she rarely lets me down.

You know the old saying. When in Rome… […]
Goodbye Atlanta…Hello To Roads Less Traveled!
Ahhhh…The beauty and peace we find on roads less traveled! In the past, our Snowbird trips to and from Florida have taken us through the heart of Atlanta. And I can assure you those are NOT roads less traveled! Just the thought of sitting in that massive freeway parking lot ever again gives me the […]
Let The Packing Begin! These Snowbirds Are Itching To Head NORTH!

Gluten Free Apple Bundt Cake Proves Gluten Free Can Be DELISH
Gluten free baking is foreign territory to me, but I’m always willing to explore new tastes and new ideas in the kitchen. So when Cousin Lynn showed up at a cousin’s reunion with this Bundt cake last Fall I couldn’t wait to taste his creation. Some of the ingredients may be foreign to you, as […]
Easter Bonnet Memories…When Hats Were A Fashion Necessity
Hats and Easter went hand in hand when I was a child. And wearing my new, carefully coordinated Easter outfit almost always meant a photo op with my big brother.

Seven Reasons For Joining The March – Parkland, Florida
My heart still hurts for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas families in Parkland, but after witnessing first hand the passion and conviction and determination of those students left behind I have no doubt those kids WILL change the world. And they’ll change it for GOOD. When the nationwide March For Our Lives events were announced I […]
Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions Make THE BEST French Onion Soup
