A local vineyard, not too far from us, hosted their 18th annual NC Grape Festival earlier this month. 

If you are traveling around southern Utah you are going to see a lot of rocks. 

ENan and I started planning our recent trip to Utah back in January of this year.

I shared last week that ENan and I traveled to Utah.

ENan and I just returned from a fabulous 12-day trip to the southwest.

Not far up the road from our little Wallace home lies the town of Rose Hill.

My next-door neighbor in Wallace (not the one with the chickens!) loves the mountains. 

ENan and I did a “Friday Night Football” date last week.

ENan and I love thrift stores.  We have donated a lot of clothes we no longer wear and items we no longer use to stores near our home.

One morning this week, ENan and I were having breakfast on our screened-in back porch, enjoying our coffee and eggs...

I have been trying to pay attention to my feet lately.  I have fairly unremarkable feet. 

ENan and I both have birthdays in mid-summer, so to celebrate we headed to the Walnut Creek Music Park in Raleigh...

It has been HOT in Wallace!  Temperatures have been in the upper 90s with a “feels-like” temperature of 103.

Today is the Fourth of July – Independence Day in the USA. 

ENan and I attended a wedding last weekend.  It was the first wedding we have attended in quite a while.  The wedding was a beautiful affair

It was early April, 2020.  We were in the heart of the Coronavirus pandemic.  Schools were closed.
