French Fries and Stormy Skies…

When I was a teenager, fifteen or sixteen, I visited Old Orchard Beach in Maine for the very first time with my best friend from high school. She was going away for a week – a tradition she’d told me about and one that had happened every Summer since she was little – and wanted […]

Castles and Curiosities…

Every once in a while, I find myself having an unexpected adventure that was completely unplanned or even considered as the result of a happy accident or an innocent error.

A Month to Remember: March 2026

Waffles and Robert Frost…
