I had never been to the Elk & Bison Prairie at Land Between the Lakes. There. I said it. It’s not that I’m not interested. I just haven’t taken the time to drive over, even though it’s really close to the Inn . So a few weeks ago after church, Brad a… Read more
Historical racing machines, anyone? Over two hundred of them? I’m going to admit something to you. When I heard Marshall Yards was coming to Kentucky Lake , I immediately thought BlackJack and Roulette and slot machines. Turns out that’s not legal he… Read more
I’ve told y’all before that I’m not a big coffee drinker. Don’t be hatin’ – I get my morning jolt from a Diet Mountain Dew. But I will swerve for chocolate – and that’s exactly what I did last weekend at the Purchase Area Coffee and Chocolate Festiva… Read more
I'm a real sucker for a fun DIY craft project. Especially when I can drag friends and family along. Y'all know that I love the Funky Monkey Pottery Company from reading my blog last summer - but this is new info, so pay attention. Back before Christm… Read more

It was 87 degrees on Saturday, October 18. That's lake weather. Except that the TVA starts lowering the water level in early September, so to save money on future boat repairs, most of us drag that sucker out on Labor Day weekend. What to do, then? I… Read more
I love fall at the lake just as much as I love summer. There. I said it. I'd love to say it's because the weather gets cooler, but that would be a lie. It stays hot here until the end of October and then on Halloween it suddenly drops below freezing … Read more
I brake for roadside stands. I might not always stop, but I definitely slow down. Squash? Probably not. Juicy peaches? Definitely, especially if they're freestone. Strawberries and tomatoes? Look out - I'm coming over in your lane. Yesterday I ran to… Read more
