When I was growing up I remember watching a few episodes of the Andy Griffith Show during the summer. It was on at Noon, so while I was eating lunch I watched the show. It has been years since I had seen an episode. That is until recently. My husband, Bobby, and I have a access to Amazon Prime. Disney Plus and Netflix, so we have gotten in the habit of binge watching TV series. Recently we've watched Counterparts and Jack Ryan on Amazon, The Mandalorian on Disney Plus and Longmire on Netflix. … [Read more...]
See New Orleans From a Newbie’s Eyes
As I start this post, I have been in New Orleans for a total of 20 hours. That's from the touchdown of the airplane til now. Coming from Ohio the first thing to stand out was obviously the weather.

My sister, Randi, and I recently took an overnight trip to … [Read more...]
Carnival Cruise Impresses First Time Cruiser
I have never taken a cruise. They have always seemed appealing to me, but for someone who tends to get motion sick pretty easily (I can't even watch a home video without becoming nauseous), the idea of paying all that money and potentially being sick the whole time has prevented me from going on one. However, I enjoy listening to other people's experiences. If I can't do a thing, living vicariously through stories of others, well, that is the next best thing. I had the opportunity to do that … [Read more...]
The Big Apple — Oh, How I Missed Seeing You This Year!
O.K. I never, ever thought I would be sad to not have traveled to New York City in the summer. But after watching several of our friends post pictures on Facebook about their travels to the Big Apple...well, let's just say I was more than slightly jealous. Adding salt to the wound is just about every TV show we have watched lately have been filmed in NYC. Every establishing shot, either my husband, Bobby, or I will say, "We've been there." As a way to deal with my melancholy for not having … [Read more...]
