Flu Fighting, Christmas Lights, and Gingerbread…

It’s been a few years since I’ve had a take-down, cancel all plans, stay-in-bed-all-day type of cold that results in me calling out of work and leaving both my text messages and e-mails on “unread” for any significant amount of time – but here we are! I’m finally on the other side of what was […]

Local Loves: HOTFIRE Bar and Grill

Cider and Hungry Caterpillars…

In an effort to return to some sense of normalcy and lightheartedness after the events from earlier this week, I thought now would be a good time to share some photos and snippets from last weekend in what I consider to be the “calm before the storm,” so to speak. Last weekend was the annual […]
