Burning Tree Smokehouse
We recently went from Irondale through Avondale into downtown Birmingham. Along the way we passed the Burning Tree Smokehouse on 3rd Avenue South near Pepper Place. We added it to our list of places to try. We had a rare weekend home, seems that lately our weekends are for traveling. We decided to have lunch…
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…
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…
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…

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…
Little Betty Steak Bar
This year for my birthday, Jeff made reservations several weeks in advance on my actual birthday at Little Betty Steak Bar, which is a new steak and Italian fusion restaurant open in the Lane Park area of Birmingham. They use local farm fresh ingredients. It is named after the owners dog and originally started in…
Umami Ramen-Sushi-Bar
We recently had a week night date night. We met at a new restaurant in Trussville called Umami Ramen-Sushi-Bar. I went into this one blindly, I did not look at the menu ahead of time. I assumed if Jeff saw something that he would eat then I would be ok. Once there I had a…
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. The menu said that they keep all of their food under 595 calories. The restaurant has been open in Birmingham since 2013…
