Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
When we were planning this trip, along with finding reasonably priced flights, we needed to find a reasonably priced resort. We decided on a resort early on because we wanted access to the amenities. After a lot of research and a few recommendations we settled on Ramon’s Village. We actually stayed at their sister property,
Title: The Bear and the Nightingale Author: Katherine ArdenPublication Date: 2017Publishing House: Del Rey I found out about the Winternight Trilogy after reading about Bookworm Muse’s reviews on the last two books. And I managed to find a copy of the first book in the series at Half Price Books. This book didn’t sit on
The 2019 Dallas Summer Musical season has come to an end but it ended with a fantastic show: Fiddler on the Roof. I took Keltin’s mom with me to the show and we both loved it. TRADITION! The show begins with an introduction of the family roles of the community; the papas, the mommas. the
The last things we expected to find while exploring Mineral Wells was a cute little coffee shop but that is exactly what we stumbled across. Of course on a hot day we were actually looking to see if there were any local ice cream places but You Maka Me Hot, we discovered, makes wonderful frozen
Brooke has wanted to go on a girls beach trip for a few years now and we are finally at the point where it was not just a dream but a trip we could make happen. We planned this adventure six months out and none of us can believe that it is already over and

It has been a while since Keltin and I took Bear on a good hike and we decided to head up to Lake Mineral Wells State Park recently. We go there early to beat the crowds and hopefully the heat. We actually managed fairly well on those two fronts only to nearly drowned in the

Keltin loves pickles and especially dill pickles. We recently ended up with some pickling cucumber and I thought that I’d try my hand at turning them into actual pickles.
