Pasco’s Kitchen & Lounge

While my in-laws were in town, we went to Pasco's Kitchen & Lounge.  It's located in Geronimo Village on University Blvd. in Tucson.  I saw this restaurant because it is located next to the Frog & Firkin where I used to listen to Kevin & Tanisha...

The Salty Pelican at Fernandina Beach

After walking around downtown Fernandina Beach, we walked over to The Salty Pelican, which is another local favorite. Everything in downtown Fernandina Beach is within walking distance, so we parked at the marina and walked around to visit the local shops before...

Miraval Resort & Spa, Part I

The hubster and I decided to get away and leave reality behind.  We did just that by going to Miraval Resort & Spa. I have heard so many wonderful things about this resort, so I always wondered, "What's the big deal?" Oprah and Gayle went on a retreat here,...

Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink

I love pizza, but I don't eat it a lot because it is unhealthy, of course.  I met a young lady who told me about Reilly Craft Pizza & Drink.  One of my friends also told me that she loved the atmosphere there and that the pizza was great.  I decided...

Gender Reveal Party

This will be my only post this week.  I need a break after all of the suspense from this weekend!  I literally felt like I had run a marathon. Our Gender Reveal Party was so much fun!  We were surrounded by over 30 friends and family who attended the...

Southern Pearl Oyster House

During my trip to my alma mater, Southern University, my friends from Huntsville, Alabama met my family at Southern Pearl Oyster House, a restaurant in Baton Rouge. I lived in Baton Rouge for 16 years, but this was a new restaurant that I had not visited. It was...

The Parish Restaurant

My husband heard about The Parish restaurant from a guy who saw the restaurant on the news.  During Mardi Gras, the owners had a huge crawfish boil in the parking lot.  Where was I and why didn't I know about this earlier?  Geez, I want some...

Anthony’s In the Catalinas

I decided to try a new restaurant, Anthony's In the Catalinas.  I read different reviews. I also saw that this was one of the top 5 restaurants rated by Tucson Living, so I knew it was worth a try.  A wonderful night does not describe our time at Anthony's....

Commerce Kitchen

I love lunch dates, and this lunch date was special because I spent it with a sweet lady from the Mississippi Delta. She grew up about 45 miles from where I was born and raised.  She graduated from Alabama A & M University and went on to medical school....

Happy Birthday to Me!

I am one year younger and I am so thankful for the years God has given me.  I stand on Psalm 91:16, "God will give me long life and show me His salvation."  For my special day, I hung out with my husband.  We watched Jumping the Broom, which was an...
