One of my friends from work, Jessica Robinson, has talked about how good The Melting Pot is for as long as we have worked in the same department. Her descriptions made me curious to give it a try. However, it wasn't until I saw a Groupon offer for the Melting Pot, did I finally act on the curiosity. The next hurdle was to make time to go. It is in Lyndhurst, Ohio (at least where this Groupon was good for) and that is over 1 hour from where we live. Then my husband, Bobby's, schedule is so … [Read more...]
Broadway’s An American in Paris, a Must-See Show
Planning a trip to New York City can be a daunting task. Trying to figure out what to do and see is hard, especially if you have no frame of reference--other than what you see on TV. So I asked plenty of people for their advice. Hands down the number one thing I was told to do was to see a Broadway show. Sounds easy, right? Well not as easy as you think. The reason is there are so many to choose from--even on the short notice we had. (I understand some shows are sold out months in … [Read more...]
Ways to Get Around New York City
When my husband, Bobby, and I went to New York City in July, I was more than a little nervous. See, I am a girl from a small town and while there was a time that I felt the draw of the city, that was a long time ago. Now I am much more comfortable in small towns and on two-lane roads. However, we were headed to the Big Apple because that was where the conference was being held that I was doing a presentation. So like it or not, I had to "soldier through" like Bobby says. One of the … [Read more...]
What Can You Say, with Lego Bricks, Everything is Awesome!
Little did I know that July 2016 would have the same theme as the Lego Movie--or at least the same theme song "Everything is Awesome." It is this catchy, can't-get-out-of-your-head tune that is forever repeating. Because of my great nephews, DeAveon and Noah, I know that song quite well. Or maybe I should say is is because of my husband, Bobby, who constantly sings the song to DeAveon and Noah whenever he sees them. Either way, it has been playing in my head most of July. First because July was … [Read more...]
Happy B-Lated B-day, Burger!
It wasn't until late Thursday night, July 28, that I found out I missed the birthday of the hamburger. That is the date when Louis Lassen in 1900 served the first hamburger sandwich. (It was out of Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut.) Turns out that we were there on July 27, 2011--but I didn't know it was the birthday then, either. I felt kind of like I did when I realized I had missed National Ice Cream day (July 17). Not exactly sad, but a little disappointed in myself that I hadn't … [Read more...]
