So I’m not quite Charles Dickens, nor is this about London and Paris, or a war (you get the point), but it is about two delightful and charming cities I’ve visited recently. Let’s start with Charlottesville……Jason introduced me to Charlottesville, which is one of the most charming and wonderful cities. […]
I enjoy eating soup all year long, but since the weather is finally warming up like to have a lighter soup to compliment the foods I eat in the spring and the weather. This soup will add a nice course to a meal without adding calories and fat (I know […]
I have always loved entertaining guests for brunch, dinner, and overnight stays. Recently, we have had two sets of dear friends come visit. We had Bryan, Christina and Harper come down and visit us for a long weekend, and decided what better way to welcome them to the south than […]
