The man and I have a problem; on weekend mornings he wakes up craving a burger and a diet coke, and I wake up craving eggs and coffee. One of my favorite things about life in New York City was the tendency of (seemingly) everyone to spend weekend mornings (and sometimes afternoons) at brunch. There’s just [...] Wines, photo by MilliGFunk Angela Ortmann of @StLWineGirl was kind enough to take me as her guest to a St. Louis Cellars Wine Club event in February, and I had a great time. photo by MilliGFunk St. Louis Cellars only carries wines that are Small town Missouri simply doesn’t stop surprising me.

Washington State Park is one of only two parks in Missouri that holds such carvings. The Missouri State Parks website says that the [...] Last Friday was a good day for my site: 1.
