My husband, Bobby, and I do a lot of different things on our time off from work. I hope this blog is evidence of this fact. One thing we've never done until this weekend, was attend a birthday party for a cat. Our friends, Jessica and Thomas, invited us to a first birthday party for their yellow and white tabby cat, Benjamin, otherwise known as Benny. While some people might think that silly, we are pet people. Plus I am a grade a cat person, so if a feline is the guest of honor for a shindig … [Read more...]
Guide Makes Civil War Come Alive at Antietam National Battlefield
What had begun as an overcast and sometimes rainy morning, turned into a beautiful, if not slightly warm day, when my husband, Bobby, and I visited the Antietam National Battlefield outside of Sharpsburg, Maryland. Not being too familiar with the specific battles of the Civil War (outside of Gettysburg), I didn't fully understand what we were going to see or learn on our excursion. We had already spent a little time in Sharpsburg on the Sharpsburg Civil War Ghost Tour with Mark Brugh, … [Read more...]
Wayne County Cupcake Tour: How Sweet It Was (and Will Be Again)
EDITOR'S NOTE: One year ago, my husband, Bobby and I, were privileged to participate in the inaugural Wayne County Cupcake Tour.

Oh, one thing is different this year than last, they added two more locations. So now not only do you get extra cupcakes, but get to visit two more establishments, The Pine Cone Gift Shop and Kidron Sports Center. Here's last … [Read more...]
Historian Weaves Ghostly Tales on Civil War Tour
When I told my husband, Bobby, that I wanted to visit my Aunt Kim and Uncle Jay in Greencastle, Pennsylvania for a weekend sometime this year, I hadn't expected him to suggest the upcoming weekend. But that is what he did. Due to the fact that I was working for the week, the travel plans were up to him. (He had taken a week of vacation.) I would have never thought of going on a ghost tour, so I am glad he planned things. It turned out that Mark Brugh's Sharpsburg Civil War Ghost Tour was a … [Read more...]
One Busy Friday We Spent in Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia
What began with one planned event, a 90 minute tour, turned into a day long adventure. My husband, Bobby, and I took a long weekend to visit my Aunt Kim and Uncle Jay in Pennsylvania near the Maryland State border. It was one of our favorite ways to go -- impromptu -- no set plans. Well, that isn't exactly true. Bobby did schedule us for a tour in Sharpsburg, Maryland, but that was it. Except that wasn't it at all. Here is a brief overview of our day. We will be writing more about each … [Read more...]
