Limoncello
As a self-proclaimed connoisseur and purveyor of all things delicious, I was more than on board when Angela proposed a trip last to the Côte d’ Azur and Riviera (aka the tour de limoncello). I could talk you to all day about eating nearly a metric tonne of pasta and cheese, but I must share our story of limoncello. We drank ALL the lee-mohn-CHAY-loh. You see, while we were there, Europe was experiencing a treacherous heat-wave. We were compelled to stay cool by drinking limoncello. It became a matter of life or death.

Arnold Palmer & John Daly Sippers
It’s Masters week here in Augusta. Golf fanatics are landing here by the droves to follow those little white balls on their journeys across 18 holes at the Augusta National Golf Course.

The grass underfoot has a certain spring to it. The long shadows of the loblolly pines offer respite on sunny days. The jays chirp out their gleeful songs. This tournament is much more than just the game of golf–it is a feeling. A magical…

What is YOUR Hygge?
Yesterday I saw a commercial about making life more hygge. I watched and listened, and then I chuckled to myself. How ironic that someone chose to commercialize hygge. And how demeaning. Commercialization is the antithesis of hygge, I am certain of that. What exactly is hygge? It is a buzz word, for sure; I had been hearing it everywhere. But I wasn’t certain of its meaning. That is, until I discovered this gem on Alex Beauchamp’s hyggehouse.com: Hygge (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah) is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cosy, charming or…
