Inexpensive crafts can keep your grandchildren busy on a rainy day so before we took our annual family vacation to the beach my daughter went to the local Dollar Tree and purchased some crafts we could do with the kids. Each craft was $1.00 plus tax. You just can’t get much cheaper than that! We…
Nashville, Nashvegas, Music City, Smashville: whatever you call it, it is a fun place to visit! What’s in a name? A whole lot of you are the city of Nashville and you are referred to by many different monikers! So what is the story of Nashville and it’s many names? The city of Nashville was founded…
August Birthdays Keep Coming! Wednesday we celebrated our sweet granddaughter’s birthday. Our oldest granddaughter, Abby, just turned 12. She keeps reminding me that next year she will be 13, as if I could forget. This is our family rendition of the Birthday Song. Please be forgiving if you listen to it. I couldn’t sing because…
Cobalt Restaurant in Orange Beach, Alabama, is a great place to dine with family and friends. We ate there recently and I highly recommend it. There were 14 of us and they told us it would be about a 45 minute wait. We were on vacation and celebrating the engagement of Grant and Christie. We…

Dance photography is something I didn’t know anything about until I saw these pictures and started asking questions. I love to watch dancers. They fascinate me with their energy and grace. I love watching everything from Hula dancing to ballet. Dancing With the Stars was once one of my favorite shows but I’m a little…
Paradise Point Revisited I liked the outside of Paradise Point so much that I went back to investigate the store and this time it was open. The inside of the store was even more fun than outside. If you didn’t see my last post about it then check it out before you go further. Even…
Kentucky’s Paradise Point is a fun place to visit….even when they are closed! Every once in awhile I see something while I’m driving that catches my eye and I have to stop and make pictures. I couldn’t pass up taking a few pictures of Paradise Point which is near Barren River State Park, about an…
Paw Patrol Birthday Party The “in” thing with little boys right now is Paw Patrol. I don’t claim to understand it all, but I know my grandson loves it! His 3rd birthday was all Paw Patrol at the pool. He had been to so many of his cousin’s birthdays that every gift he opened he…
