“Autumn in New York…”

It has been a long time since I’ve stepped foot in New York City, with my last day trip/weekend in Manhattan and Brooklyn taking place circa 2018/2019.

Drive-Ins and Saint Danny’s Day…

Sunsets, Album Anniversaries and Pirate Dogs…

I had every intention of updating ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ earlier this week, with a post scheduled for the morning of Labor Day, but since I have literally been cruising up and down the entire coast of California over the past few days following a stay in Las Vegas, I just needed a day by the […]

Celebrate Good Times…

It is absolutely Aries season, and so many people I know are celebrating birthdays right now! Yesterday was my dear friend and podcast co-host, Stef’s, birthday- which will be acknowledged and honored at a get-together at her farm this coming weekend since we saw some significant snowfall/sleet throughout this week that caused serious delays with […]
