Red Bluff Cottage in Montgomery, Alabama
It was after dark when we arrived at Red Bluff Cottage in Montgomery, Alabama, but we could still appreciate how lovely this B & B was as we pulled into the back parking lot. With a late start in the day for our trip to Destin, Florida, we had decided to stop along the way … Continue reading
Backbeat Tours, Memphis: Mojo Tour
You may have taken a tour before. You may have even taken a tour of Memphis, Tennessee before. But I can guarantee you that you have never taken a tour like the Mojo Tour with Backbeat Tours.

What goes around…
My dad passed away a few years ago. He had suffered for a while with lung cancer but the end was very peaceful. In a morphine-induced twilight world, he took one last breath and slipped away. I wasn’t in the hospital room. I was in the parking lot lugging a basket full of food up … Continue reading
Bistro Bijoux in Sandestin
I poked the appetizer gingerly with my fork. Lobster spring rolls had sounded delicious when I ordered them but these were a little odd looking with the lobster tails poking up out of the spring rolls. And then I took a bite. And if lobster spring rolls with the … Continue reading

You ALL. Seriously. I may never come home. The Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort is quite, quite, quite fabulous. You know that I planned a spur of the moment trip to Destin and it was just luck and the kindness of the lovely folks at Sandestin that my sister-in-law and I ended up here. In paradise.
Destination: Destin
Say you are having lunch with someone and they tell you that their husband is not able to go on the long weekend trip to Destin, Florida after all and they will have to drive all that way all alone and they look at you rather sadly, what do you do? What do you … Continue reading
The Quite Amazing Viva Elvis by Cirque du Soleil Show
We both leaned forward instinctively, horrified to think the performers in bright super hero costumes were falling to the stage, certain to be hurt, maybe even killed. Then they bounced into the air and landed agilely right back where they has started, only to do it again and again, landing back on the platform and … Continue reading
