In 2020, we moved off-grid about an hour from the closest grocery store, bank or gas station. The road to here is a long, winding, potholed nightmare. Most of it is like this… They R6 hardly ever comes out to play because of the mile and a half of dirt road and 35 miles of... Continue Reading →
The last time I updated, we lived in San Juan Bautista, prior to the pandemic. At one point, due to unforeseeable reasons, we were unfortunately required to move. During that time no one wanted to speak to us (or anyone for that matter) because this was right in the beginning of the pandemic. Back then... Continue Reading →
She graduated this morning! I’m leaving tomorrow to go see her before she’s shipped off to her station for the next year. Seventy-four long days and now she’s my little Coastie! Here she is with her mom and step-dad. Sadly, I was not able to fly to New Jersey for graduation. I’m so incredibly proud... Continue Reading →

Other than finding hundreds of motorcycle photos related to work, I had a few things tucked in there of interest that were not work-related. It is crazy to... Continue Reading →

Will literally never go here again. Ever. We arrived at 1:18 PM, so not too early and not too late. We first... Continue Reading →
Please Read First Please do NOT go by only my experiences, photos, recipes and research when foraging. Please double and triple-check when you set out to forage. I use hobby books, textbooks, university catalogs and reputable foraging websites/apps and I triple-check (more like I check it obsessively 50 times) everything I don’t know or may have...

Oh. My. God. I'm in love! I have wanted to dance en pointe for so long and now, finally, I am! 😍 Granted, I'm not even remotely good at it but at least I'm one glissade closer! Unfortunately, ABT does not really offer an official adult pre-pointe or adult pointe curriculum so I was thrilled... Continue Reading →
I just realized this post was sitting in my drafts. Since this year's Taste of Spain is coming up on Feb 8, why not finally publish last year's first??Although I am not a huge fan of some of DeRose's wines, their Spanish wines are pretty good. Pair that with fresh Paella and you can count... Continue Reading →
