In my last blog, I told you that my husband, Mom and I took the train to the Grand Canyon.  If you haven't seen that post, click here . Because of the time of year, we only went to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  We were able to spend a couple of hours touring.  There are fantastic views.  I have balance problems, so I did not get anywhere near close to the edge.  My husband did, so some of the pictures were taken by him.  The Grand Canyon is full of color.  Our pictures probably do not do it justice. My Mom and I safely standing back from the edge. My hubby, Leroy,  decides to stand right on the edge.  Oh my! Buckey’s Cabin is the only remaining building from the early pioneer settlement era of the Grand Canyon Village.  Built in 1895 by William Owen “Buckey” O’Neill. The adobe-style house is a store where you can buy items made by local artisans.  I scored a pair of earrings there. There are places to get something to eat and other establishments where you can buy souvenirs.

***UPDATED 4/29/23*** Name of restaurant:  Grass Rootes in Culpeper Virginia Date of visit: April 23, 2021 Star rating:  ⭐ ⭐  ⭐ ⭐ out of 5 Grass Rootes is a farm-to-a-table dining experience in historic downtown Culpeper at the corner of East Davis Street and South East Street. According to their website, they are in the oldest commercial building in Culpeper and you can tell. You could be a little confused by the outside of the building as it touts the old-style hardware store it used to be once upon a time. They are open Wednesday through Saturday for lunch 11am-2:00pm and or dinner 5:30-9pm.  We parked around back in a lot behind the building. You can use the back stairs to go into the restaurant but we walked around the front of the building and used the main entrance. We arrived around 11:30am on a Friday and it wasn't busy, yet. When noon hit, the restaurant started filling up. Although it wasn't crowded, it was good to see these small restaurants feeding folks. The decor

My trip to Arizona earlier this year included a trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  It was decided that we would take a day trip which included a train ride to the Grand Canyon.   We stayed the night in Williams, Arizona.   It is a very small town about an hour outside of Flagstaff.   It seemed to consist of  two main streets.   On one  street  there is the Grand Canyon Railway and Hotel.  You can stay at the hotel, but there are other hotels available to stay in as well.  My husband, Mom, and I stayed at one of the other hotels.   The next morning, we boarded the train to the Grand Canyon.  It is a day trip to and from the Grand Canyon.  There are various train cars to choose from.  The cars go from basic to luxurious and the price varies depending on which car you choose.   www.thetrain.com There is an attendant in each car to answer questions and tell some of the histories.  The trip also has musicians and cowboys.  It’s f un for the whole family.   Our attendant  was very

Are you going through that moment where you ask yourself, "should I keep dying my hair or just go for it and let my natural gray come on out and shine"? We've been there and done that and let me tell you, it's worth transitioning to natural color. I had skunk hair about every two weeks, so the maintenance was just getting to me.  It took me about a year to fully grow the dyed part of my hair out. If I were brave at the time, which I wasn't, I would have just got a super short haircut and then let it grow out. But I didn't, so, therefore, I chose to highlight with blonde coloring so it wouldn't be so noticeable. I'm going to share with you tips to help you with your transition from well-known companies such as Good Housekeeping and others. Good Housekeeping had 5 tips to go gray. A color correction can save you from growing it out.   You have the option of essentially getting a "color correction," but instead of correcting it your natural or d

Do you have issues with organizing your closets? If you are anything like me, you put off this task as long as possible. This is a chore that only happens once a year for me. Normally this is a springtime thing to do in my household. When I get in the mood to do such a task, I go to the WWW for some help.
