Las Vegas Travel Diary: Dining and Experiences
Jeff had a training class in Las Vegas in August and I tagged along. It’s been about 10 years since we were last there. Some things had changed and some had stayed the same. Everything seemed so much closer to the sidewalk. Some of the restaurants like Denny’s are still there but they have been…
Memories – Cheese Please!
Update: We stopped in on our trip in August 2025. I grabbed some updated pictures, so as promised I am updating this post. First off, we should have stopped on our recent trip for updated pictures. LOL! I know we’ve been there since these pictures were taken, but this is what I found on my…
Birthday Weekend at Redbud Treehouse
We’ve looked at treehouses in various areas and thought about staying in one. We’ve looked at some near where our nephew lives in Tennessee, but the ones we came across while scrolling on social media were never really, really convenient. We’ve looked at some that are kind of local to our area for sort of…
Celebrating 31 years!
Our 31st anniversary was April 3. This year we just celebrated with local things. On Wednesday, our actual anniversary, we made reservations and went to Seasons 52. This was our first time there.

For my birthday we went to The Cheesecake Factory. It is a place that we’ve been to many times over the years. The food is always delicious and the portions are huge. Our waitress started by asking if we were there celebrating anything. I let her know it was my birthday she asked if we…
Green Top Bar-B-Q
Have you ever heard of the Famous Leo and Susie’s Green Top Bar-B-Q? If not, it is located in Dora, Alabama. It normally sits in a cinder block building right on the side of Highway 78 as you are approaching the Walker county line. But an appliance caught on fire a few months back and…
Golden Rule Bar-B-Q
Golden Rule in the Irondale area of Birmingham is one of those places that if you’ve been there then you know it’s good. When we worked in the area this was one of our go to lunch spots. It wasn’t often that we’d eat there and not get a slice of chocolate pie. This visit…
