Singer John Mellencamp has never strayed far from his roots in Seymour, Indiana. And when a detour took us close to that small Indiana town I asked Peepaw to stop. We only had about another hour of driving before our arrival at our son’s home near Indianapolis, and we didn’t want to arrive at mealtime. […]
The Pancake Pantry in Nashville…Because “Everybody Loves Pancakes”
After our “Night on the Town” in Nashville, these old Snowbirds were in the mood for a hearty breakfast. And my Google App kept directing me back to one spot. The Pancake Pantry. So off we went…being led by my trusty smartphone GPS voice I call “Stella”. It wasn’t long before “she” led us to […]
Nashville For “Newbies” – What a Town…And What a NIGHT!
I’m not much of a country music fan so Nashville has never ranked very high on my bucket list. In fact we have stayed on the outskirts of Nashville many, MANY times on our Snowbird journeys to and from Florida. But as we headed back North this year we decided to stay downtown and see what […]
Manchester Tennessee – The Mercantile Cafe (And Our Brush With the Law!)!
Manchester Tennessee is located halfway between Chattanooga and Nashville. And by the time we arrived in that picturesque small town we were ready to find a good local spot for lunch. So we did what we always do. We headed to the town square to look for the most “local” of their local restaurants. And […]
Jackson, Georgia – Our Snowbird Northern Migration Begins
It’s that time again. Time for our Northern migration…and Jackson, Georgia was destined to be our first overnight stop. So…after a South Florida winter filled with gorgeous sunrises… And beautiful sunsets… It was time to pack it all up…and head North. And when I say pack…I mean PACK! It’s a really good thing that Peepaw […]
Boating Hidden Waterways In Fort Lauderdale…The Venice Of America
Our winter home is located on one of the widest canals in Fort Lauderdale, and when our boating friends Norm and Nancy asked us to join them for a day on the water we grabbed our sunglasses and jumped onboard. (Yes…I think Nancy could pass as my sister…in more ways than one!) Fort Lauderdale is […]
Riverside Market and Cafe – Fort Lauderdale- “Purveyors Of Deliciosity”
Quirky is the perfect word to describe the Riverside Market and Cafe in Fort Lauderdale. And as soon as I laid eyes on it, that quirky Riverside Market and Cafe immediately became one of my favorite places in the entire city. (I’m just sorry it’s taken us years to discover that amazing eatery.) Last week […]
A Bicycle Built For…Meemaw? Welcome To My Second Childhood!
I’ve checked another item off of Meemaw’s always changing Bucket List. I officially entered my second childhood…and bought a bicycle! A Huffy Nel Lusso “Beach Cruiser” no less! Ever since we bought our Florida condo, Peepaw has been tooling around the beach and our local neighborhood paths on a bike. But the only bike I […]
Seven Travel Tips For Hassle Free Trips
I don’t know about you, but in my book air travel just ain’t what it used to be! Back in my OLDEN DAYS as a travel agent (wow…I sound ancient), I used to wear a business suit and high heels whenever I flew. In fact, most women did. And nobody in First Class would think […]
Yeehaw Junction, Florida…As Quirky As It’s Name
Yeehaw Junction, Florida is as quirky as it’s name. And when it comes to names…Yeehaw Junction could be worse. You see, the “town” used to be called Jackass Crossing or Jackass Junction! I even found proof…painted right on the side of the building. Located in Oceola County, this census-designated “wide place in the road” is […]
