What’s A Fish Boil?
We’ve had a Low Country boil several times before. It’s a traditional dish in the low country of Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina—a variety of shellfish, potatoes and corn are thrown into a pot with water and seasonings and cooked until done, then served. And devoured. Quickly. Because it’s delicious. So, we thought we knew … Continue reading
Pin ItToyota Corolla Elevated Event 2014
Several years ago, when I was still teaching, I was invited to be part of a group of educators participating in a series of leadership building events.

Last fall, we went to the annual Tybee Island, Georgia Pirate Fest and had a ball. Just about everyone on the small island got into the pirate spirit and we saw lots of people dressed up. Three scurvy wenches caught Tom’s photographer eye.

Pin ItWinter Wonderland Weekend in Door County, Wisconsin
As we drove through Illinois towards Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, we were encouraged to see the first signs of snow on the ground. Just traces of white here and there, but we had just spent several days in Chicago with no snow, much to our disappointment, and we were concerned that our … Continue reading
Pin ItThe Oar House, Dahlonega, Georgia
We almost missed The Oar House. Tucked away on a mountainside in Dahlonega, Georgia overlooking a scenic river, this fabulous place is a little hidden if you don’t watch carefully for the sign. And we didn’t believe our GPS when it clearly told us where the restaurant was located. It was getting dark, we were … Continue reading
