Memories – Guntersville, AL
In January we had a long weekend and we looked for somewhere to visit. We talked about going to Chattanooga, a place we love and have visited often. Then we started looking at new places. We finally decided to stay close to home and visit Guntersville, Alabama. It’s about an hour and a half from…
Amicalola Falls State Park
In researching our trip to Dahlonega we came across Amicalola Falls. We love a beautiful waterfall, but we aren’t hikers and prefer one that is easy to get to and not one that you have to trek through the woods to get to. So Jeff found that this one we shouldn’t have to trek through…
Dahlonega, GA
I have heard that Dahlonega, GA is a really cool place to see around Christmas and that some of the Hallmark Christmas movies have been filmed there. I had mentioned to Jeff that I’d like to visit there at Christmas. He got to researching and found that there were several things to do and decides…
He’s growing up!!
This weekend our Grandson has decided that we are dropping our funny names. He’ll be 3 in 2 weeks. I’ve called him Judah Woodah and Jeff Pepaw Womp-ah and I was Mina Bobeana. Or as he said Pepaw Wawa and Mi Bobean. This weekend we were told that we are now JUST Pepaw and JUST…
The National
Recently while in Cullman we wanted to grab a bite to eat and we found a restaurant down the street from the Christkindlmarkt called The National. That meant we didn’t have to move the car or try to find another parking spot. It is also not somewhere that we visit often so we checked out…
Cullman Christkindlmarkt
We had been seeing posts about the Cullman Christkindlmarkt and knew we wanted to go, but we had to find time. We decided to go today and of course we hear that last weekend they had their biggest crowd. There was rain in the forecast last night when we went to bed, but we got…
Curry Corner
There is a new restaurant in English Village in Mountain Brook called Curry Corner. I pass by this restaurant every day on my way to and from work. It’s been open for a short time. We finally decided to give them a try one night on our way home from work. They brought us some…
Trampled By Tacos
Have you heard about a new restaurant in the Inverness area of Birmingham called Trampled by Tacos?? No, me either!! This was another Yelp find. It’s only been open a few weeks. We knew we wanted to go to dinner on a Saturday night so while we were watching the game I started scrolling on…
White Chili
Today has been a rainy day. Woke up to pouring rain and by this afternoon it was just a slight drizzle when we went grocery shopping. This weather had me thinking about making white chili for lunch but then I realized that we didn’t have any milk or sour cream. So I had to wait…
