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 ...

Today's pic is of Cedar Grove, a historic home in Fairmount Park Philadelphia, PA. This was the last kid free weekend for the bf and I, so we went to Philly for a quick overnight trip. Mostly to eat. And we did take time to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art. If you haven't been, it's a great museum! They have a two day pass for $20 that will allow you entry to the ...

Today's pic was taken during my trip to Detroit. The bf and I stayed at the Inn on Ferry Street and I can't say enough good things about this place.

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 ...

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. ...

Today's pic is almost ten years old. I was living in Chicago and we were having a "family" bbq with my downstairs neighbors and a few friends. It also makes me think of the friends I have here in DC and the fun BBQs. Like the one that's coming up on the 4th. I can't wait! This week has been thankfully quiet. I've had a chance to get a few things done around the house and even ...
