There might have been some crazy thick fog rolling into the River Valley area close to my home early this week, but there was no way I was going to let it keep me from attending the 40th annual Arkansas Governor’s Conference on Tourism — and its keynote speaker (and my old time crush!) […]

Oven Lovin’ On Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day and I wanted to write about my new love – a gorgeous stainless steel electric range I’ve been eyeing for months and finally decided to commit to. Why did it take so long? Because when I moved into my house a year and a half ago, the kitchen had an old drop-in […]

We got back from our trip to Barcelona, Spain last week – and I’m still smiling over the gorgeous sights (including all things Gaudí!), the tasty food, the many glasses of sangria, and the laid-back, relaxed attitude the city had. (Except for its traffic, of course, but I’m blocking that memory. ) I was sent […]

It was soon after I moved to this state from Florida that he first heard about Crater […]
