From Jekyll Island, Dan & I drove to Florida, and FINALLY got to put the top down on our little, ol’ Mustang convertible! Those of you who know me, know that I haven’t been able to smile my silly, toothy smile for almost 2 years, as my teeth were so pitted Read more…
We had a great Inn-&-puppy sitter, and so Chef Dan and I were acually able to escape a Truly crazy, snow-and-ice-crusted WV winter for 2 whole weeks and flee south! And BOY did we need it, as you can see from the Sheer, Unadulterated JOY on Dan’s face! Our first stop Read more…

After our happy Railfan couple left the Elkhorn Inn on Saturday morning, Dan & I had a “foodie” weekend!
