One thing I’ve missed in the pandemic is going to the movies. My favorite place to see a movie is the Plaza Theater. Sure, during the pandemic they set up a drive-in in the back parking lot. And I LOVED seeding Clint Eastwood in Fistful…
This spring my mom, my sister and I wanted to spend some quality time together. We decided to head to Ellijay for a weekend in the North Georgia mountains. No weekend in the mountains would be complete without the dogs so finding a dog-friendly place…
Happy Chinese New Year!! I decided the best way to kick off the Lunar New Year was with dumplings.

As a bonus, it is constantly changing – every time you go something different will be in bloom.
During the pandemic one of the things I’ve missed most is going out to restaurants with friends. One of my favorite restaurants has always been La Tavola in Virginia Highlands. I always look forward to La Tavola: Molto Monday pasta, birthday dinners, Sunday brunch, summer…
