What’s not to love about chocolate?!?! Peterbrook Chocolatier has been on our list of places to visit for quite sometime. We had to make time for it when visiting Tuscaloosa. A few weeks ago we took an impromptu trip to Tuscaloosa and made sure they were on the list. They had all things Chocolate. There…

We recently were in the Bessemer area with the family, and had the chance to visit Bob Sykes Bar-B-Q.  Julie had never eaten at a Bob Sykes, but thinks her sister worked at the one in Sumiton when Julie was little.  I do remember eating at the one on Highway 78 when I was young. …

25 years ago we stood before our family and friends and said I Do! at Dora Church of God. We were married by Brother Bill Ridgeway. To celebrate our anniversary we took the day off and went to Chattanooga. We’ve enjoyed spending the day together. We had lunch at the Honest Pint. I recently worked…

Is this what they mean when they say “Shovel it in”? A spoon that looks like a shovel? A few years ago around Valentine’s Day we made reservations for lunch at Bellini’s Restaurant on Highway 119 in the Inverness area. This was our first time there. We didn’t know when we went that they have…

Friday, February 2nd was not only Groundhog Day, but it was Mom’s 70th birthday!  Unfortunately, the Groundhog saw his shadow, but we celebrated Mom’s birthday anyway.  We had been planning the party for awhile.  For her 60th birthday, we had a birthday party at the Life Center at Moody First Baptist Church.  We asked Mom…

Jeff – We’ve got another quick post about lunch this past Friday!  Julie and I don’t usually have lunch together, but we had an impromtu lunch date Friday.  Julie’s work is in a new place in Homewood since last September, and she’s now close to alot of restaurants in Homewood.  Some of her co-workers had…

Jeff – It’s my turn to write a new post.  I feel like Julie has done them all lately. However, I’m glad to tell everyone about our favorite pizza place.  It is Slice pizza in Lakeview. We’ve been going there for at least a couple of years now.  Anytime we want pizza that isn’t delivered…

Julie -This year some of our Christmas celebrations were the same and some were different. This year Tyler and Amy made plans to spend Christmas in San Salvador, El Salvador. We dropped them off at the Atlanta airport on Christmas Eve and they have spent the week ministering to youth at a youth camp. On…

On November 4, 2017 we attended our first ever National Peanut Festival in Dothan, AL. For years Jeff had heard stories about the many good things of what locals call the “Nut Fest” like The Corndog Man, kettle corn, funnel cakes, turkey legs and other good things. Tyler and Amy were going to be in…
