Today's pic was taken at the Hive exhibit at the National Building Museum. Every year they do something spectacular and this one was a lot of fun. And it's like candy for my camera! I took so many pictures. Finally settling in to my son's sophomore year of high school. I just went to "back to school" night and it was very exciting meeting all of his new teachers and so see a few of ...

Today's pic was taken at Rehoboth Beach, MD just a couple of weeks ago. It was my first and only chance to get to the beach this year. There was a major storm the weekend the bf and I went, so we left a day early to make sure we'd get a little sun. We had a great time walking along the boardwalk, relaxing on the beach and eating lots of food! I will share my food ...

The inn occupies fours historic homes on this block each with a different theme. We stayed in the Victorian room. It's been another whirlwind week! The bf and I went to the beach just before a major rain storm, where we ate ...

I’ve never had limoncello before, but I love vodka and lemons, as well as lemon drop martinis; so I thought this would be a winner. Well, it wasn’t. I peeled the lemons too close to the pith, and the limoncello was ...

Today's pic is from the National Gallery of Art East Building at the Smithsonian. I can't believe I just discovered the towers that display paintings of one of my favorite artists Mark Rothko! As you can see, Miles wasn't very impressed. But he was nice enough to walk with me all around the building. What a week! Miles left for the summer which leaves me conflicted. ...
