Appealing to my good nature

What to do during a staycation? A drive some 45 miles to the east to check out Good Nature Farm Brewing and Tap Room seemed to be a good idea. A check of their website by my dear wife Karen (who was not on a staycation, dagnabbit) showed that they would open at 3 p.m.…

A tasty find at the big warehouse store

My dear wife Karen and I usually have a static list when we shop at BJs Warehouse. If you don’t have one near you, it’s the big box type place that you need to buy a yearly membership to get in … Anyway, we go about once a month for best prices on our Dunkin’…

A Champ of a visit to Happy Valley

We arrived a few clock strokes before 5, without reservations. The hostess seated us immediately at a barroom hightop after…

The Dinosaur still comes through

My dear wife Karen had the perfect dinner suggestion while she was preparing to leave the Little Bitty for SMG. She’ll cook after she gets home from work? Not this sunny day.
