Drive-Ins and Saint Danny’s Day…

I love to celebrate my friends at any and every opportunity that presents itself. Finding the perfect presents to give, attending parties that commemorate milestones, participating in events/things that they love and that interest them, etc. It’s one of the best things ever and something I look forward to with every holiday, birthday, get-together, or […]

A Year to Remember: 2023

Happy New Year’s Weekend, everyone! A good indication that someone is getting older is the amount of times they say things like “time flew by,” or “it feels like just yesterday when…” etc., etc. as it relates to days, weeks, months and years. I, myself, must sound like I’m a fossil by now- because I’ve […]

“I’m a loner, Dottie. A Rebel.”

To close out my stay in California, Troy had a surprise for me this past weekend. After grabbing brunch at STOWAWAY, which I wrote about earlier this week, we hit the road to get some coffee and plan out the remainder of our Saturday afternoon. I’ve grown accustomed to SoCal’s insane traffic over the years, […]

Pizzas, Cannoli and Barbenheimer…

This past weekend has been filled with great food, great movie-going experiences, and some much-needed sunshine! But it […]

When my friend Stef and I met nearly twenty years ago (!!!) while working at the same small grocery store in our former little country town, we quickly bonded over many similar interests: music, art and especially low budget, bad horror movies and preparing/trying different types of food. Over the years, our common interests have […]

“They’re Coming to Get You, Barbara…”

Many people might think that I spend my Octobers walking around and photographing old New England cemeteries, abandoned and potentially haunted locations or pumpkin patches while looking for all things spooky and scary- and while they aren’t necessarily wrong- I do that kind of stuff like, a lot this time of year- I’m actually known […]

“Some Places Are Like People: Some Shine and Some Don’t.”

One of my Summer 2021 Bucket List activities was to finally go and see a movie in a drive-in with some of my friends- something I hadn’t done since I was a kid and then couldn’t do in the Summer of 2020 due to social distancing protocols preventing me from congregating with anyone who wasn’t […]
