Easter sunrise was somewhat damp in Asheville. However, by the time we arrived at St. Mary’s Episcopal the puddles were glistening from a warm sun, the robin’s were singing a joyful anthem and our hearts were filled with anticipation of re-birth. We understand the altar has been bear for the season of lent. Yet, today…

Grand and Grandiose!!!
Day two in East Tennessee…the day to take a little trip over the mountain to Asheville. However, on all our adventures we love to hang out with the local’s. In lieu of cooking another award-winning breakfast at home we decided to “eat breakfast on the road”. We stopped at Clarence’s Drive-In and let me just…
Good Friday, Food and Friends
We’re in East Tennessee visiting a chosen family member and I will go ahead and say the house is lovely and a good time has already been had by all. The home was once a three bedroom, one and a half bath traditional family dwelling. Now, it’s a Welsh Cottage designed with impeccable detail and…

The Gift Was Ours To Borrow

One Singular Dinner
We continued our celebration of A Chorus Line with the arrival of Donna McKechnie for the opening night gala at Theatre Memphis. The role of Cassie was actually part of the life story of Donna and she originated the role on Broadway. Unfortunately, I had bronchial crude all week and really was not at my…
Sweet Design
Who would’ve thought that the birthplace of Elvis would bring so much information that I had to create two posts. I must say it’s very exciting to see the city have this new energy and growth…AND all the growth is no longer “out at the mall”. I’ve heard it said “life is short, eat dessert…
