I’ve never been a huge fan of southern cooking, so I was a little wary of trying any restaurant that was too authentically southern. No grits, livers, or fried okra for me! I like my food to fall into categories I would roughly describe as identifiable and, um, within a stone’s throw of “normal”. Anyway, [...]

It’s funny, when I think of our trip to Great Smokies National Park and Gatlinburg, I think of tears and burning, despite my rating it one of our best trips ever! No one cried while we climbed up to Ramsey Cascades except my legs and feet, which whimpered the last 2 miles! Logging in at a strenuous 12.75, this [...]

All my life I’ve had wanderlust–and I’m not talking about going to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota. Wonderous as that sight may be, many of the places I long to visit are a little further from home. I want to breathe the spray of Angel Falls, spend a night at the South Pole Station, take [...]

I think this may be the longest I’ve ever neglected my blog–nearly two weeks! But, at least I have a really, really good excuse. I got an— !!! No, I can’t say it. Not even as a joke. Somebody would be sure to believe me and then word would spread and pretty soon everyone would [...]

Facebook, email, texting…if you’re anything like me, sending letters in the mail as a form of communication sounds really, really sloooow. But what if you couldn’t even use the good old red flag on your mailbox, and had to send your messages by bottle and cork? What would you say? Me, I think I’d write [...]

When we got back from the beach, our fish tank had sprouted a leak (down in the sump) and was leaking salt water all over our living room. Guess our fish wanted to come with. I can’t blame them for trying, but I’m afraid that turning the living room into a massive salt water tank just isn’t an option. [...]

My first post on the Cabinet of Curiosities is up! Or, maybe it’s almost up. We’ll see if I correctly communicated with blogger. :P I had a fun time writing the post, since it gave me a chance to quote Dr. Seuss. He’s been an all-time favorite writer of mine my entire life, and I’ve always [...]

If you smelled something heavenly Saturday, you needn’t worry. It wasn’t the rapture and you weren’t left behind–it was just Hillsborough’s much anticipated Hog Day! My first favorite of the day had to be this hat, which was spotted by the fantastic and fun Orange Charter School table. Next on our list of must haves was of course food, [...]

I had grand plans of getting a post and pics up every day we stayed in Disney World. I’d start with a tribute to Walt Disney himself, and move on to commentary on the universality of creativity. Alas, my grand blogging plans were hijacked by a lion on a mission. As you can see, he [...]
