There Will Be a Five Dollar Charge for Whining
After a long day of driving without a trip to the local grocery store, we decided to grab a bite to eat to celebrate our first night in Waynesville, N.C.
The benefit of traveling with a Tom Tom or a Garmin is the fact that you can locate places of interests or places to dine without [...]

Nothing Could Be Finer Than to Be in Carolina
In a few hours, we are leaving for a week long hideaway in North Carlina. This will be our second trip to our secret little cabin near Maggie Valley with our good friends, Erika and John and their little cutie, Sarah.

When I married Allan nine years ago, Granny Taylor and several of Allan’s uncles, aunts and cousins made the trip across the big pond to [...]

The Big Twenty
“It’s the BIG ONE tomorrow!” read Tiffany’s Saturday night reminder e-mail. “What time are we meeting?”
Realizing it would take approximately 4 hours to run 20 miles, 6:00 a.m. seemed like a reasonable starting time.
At the start of our run, a thick blanket of fog hung in the dark morning air, which it made it difficult [...]

‘Tis the Season
I apologize for my absent, but my life is a whirlwind of Christmas chaos at the moment. Perhaps, you share the same sentiment as me. Between baking cookies, hosting Christmas events, and trying to finish my Christmas cards and last minute shopping, I can barely squeeze in my marathon training. Mostly, because I am too [...]
