To the person who placed a hold on this book at my local library. Sorry!! I was saving this one for my trip to the beach. I read Beach Read on a recent trip to Tybee Island. What is a “beach read”? What do you think constitutes a good “beach read”? This book definitely meets… Continue reading Beach Read
Tybee Island
Beachview Inn and Spa on Tybee Island For our 20th anniversary trip, we stayed at Beachview Inn and Spa on Tybee Island. The Inn is located on the South end of the island. We were just a block from the beach. Surprisingly, Beachview provided EVERYTHING: bikes, coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas. The backpack chairs especially came… Continue reading Tybee Island
Savannah
We recently stayed on Tybee Island, Georgia. I love the beach, but wanted to visit Savannah as much as possible. For that reason, I wanted to go to Savannah on bad weather days and most evenings. Our first full day was spent on Tybee. The second day started off cloudy and the forecast said mostly… Continue reading Savannah
Downtown Paducah
That New Mexican Place… If you’re from the area then you know everyone was devastated when TriBeca, the only downtown Mexican restaurant closed. I LOVE downtown Paducah. I’m proud that we offer so many fine dining restaurants but we need some quick and cheap places to eat downtown as well. Lopez Mexican recently opened where… Continue reading Downtown Paducah
The Dilemma
I adored Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️). I frequently recommend it for anyone who loves a good thriller. The Dilemma, though just fell totally flat for me. No upcoming spoilers if you decide you still want to read it after my lackluster review, I promise. The Dilemma is about this mom who is… Continue reading The Dilemma

One reason is I’m a school psychologist so I frequently work with kids that have Autism. Another reason is more than half of my best friends have… Continue reading In A Different Key: The Story of Autism

Poca Terra Winery
I discovered last summer that there was another winery, less than 15 minutes from my house. I say another because Purple Toad Winery is also 15 minutes from my house. https://purpletoadwinery.com/ I was a wine virgin (unless Boone’s Hill counts as wine) when I started drinking their wines. Purple Toad wines are more syrupy sweet… Continue reading Poca Terra Winery
The Kite Runner
This was my second book by Khalid Hosseini. I rated it Four Stars. Although I enjoyed it and definitely recommend everyone reads it, I preferred A Thousand Splendid Suns. I thought this one started off strong but faded some in the middle. A Thousand Splendid Suns was excellent cover to cover, and I rated it… Continue reading The Kite Runner
