Solo Adventures
I’m part of a fb group for women solo travelers. Most of what is posted is all about far off adventures and leaving their own continent. While that’s awesome, getting out in your own backyard can be just as fun and beneficial for the soul. This is just a few of the things I did,…

Wet Whet Thursday
Our local Metal Museum does a monthly happy hour with music, beverages, and a food truck. Tonight was a luau to end the summer. With hurricane Gordon working its way through the southern states, we’ve been watching the radars closely. We had a backup plan if the rain hit earlier in the day, but when…

The stories this place could tell…
I was just on my way to the botanic garden and made a wrong turn. I found some creepy old abandoned apartment. It looks like it may have been at school at one point. I have enough sense to not stick around creepy places like this in Memphis, but I’d love to get some folks…

48 in Nashville
48 hours that is. This post is pic heavy, so I’m going to (try to) keep the words to a minimum. It’ll be tough because I had so much fun and want to gush and gush. What a weekend! I’m in love, love, love… With Nashville!! Brother Normal and Mrs Normal go to music shows…

settling in
I may never move again… Unless it’s to New Orleans, DC, or a tropical beach paradise. I’ve had such a hard time getting involved in anything outside of work and meeting folks. The last time I moved to a new city I had just graduated college and had a few friends in the same town.…

I’m on a roller coaster
I’ve started half a dozen posts. Each one tells a different story and has a different emotional bent. My emotions and thoughts about this move have changed every 15 minutes. One minute I’m sobbing uncontrollably, the next I’m laughing, and the next I’m bored. I’ve been ready for a change for awhile and I know…
