I’m not sure how or when I heard about the Whitney Plantation, but I do remember making a mental note that I wanted to visit. I vaguely remember reading {or hearing} about damage that had been done to the plantation as a result of Hurricane Ida, so I figured we’d […]

The Hubs is a total car guy. Whenever he talks to me about them, I get the same glazed over look in my eyes that he gets when I talk to him about photography. Truth be told, I like looking at old cars, I even like riding in the car […]
Remember last weekend I said that I was stepping out of my comfort zone and going to a photography class? Well, I never made it to the class because I got lost. However, I did end up at this really interesting historic site called the Melrose Plantation. When I arrived, […]
A couple of days ago, The Hubs and I decided to take a drive around downtown Albany because we were bored and wanted to get out of the house. As is my habit, whenever we go somewhere, I grabbed my camera and we headed out the door. As we were […]
We’ve been in Georgia for a year now. I can’t believe it. In some ways it feels soooo much longer and in other ways it feels like I’ve only just arrived. I’m still adjusting to things here. The people here are so incredibly polite. Every time someone says “Yes, Ma’am” to […]
On Friday, The Hubs and I spent some time in Americus, Georgia. We’ve been there once before to visit a sweet little store called The Maze, but we didn’t do very much sight seeing because it was kind of chilly and a bit drizzly. This time the weekend was perfect, so […]
Disclosure: I did not receive any compensation for this post. I just enjoy exploring and supporting locally owned businesses. A few weeks ago, my co~worker came rushing into my office all excited and everything: “Dani, you have got to go to Livi and Company! I’m sure it’s your kind of […]
The kids moved out and this guy moved in. Fortunately, he doesn’t take up much space and prefers to stay outside. When I first noticed him, I ain’t gonna lie, I screamed. I mean, there was a baby alligator a couple of feet from my face. I’m exaggerating. Kind of. He […]
As many of you know, I used to teach American History when I lived in Pennsylvania, so one of the draws for me in moving to Georgia was the opportunity to explore history and see where “it” happened. One of my, ummmm, I don’t want to call it “favorite” but […]
About six months ago, one of my coworkers told me I needed to pay this place called Dynamite Coffee Bar a visit. She knew the owners and was absolutely positive that I’d love the coffee. I made a mental note to check it out as soon as my schedule allowed… […]
You guys, I’ve been almost at the bursting point with excitement for the last few weeks and now I’m finally able to share… I’ve been invited by the Cape Girardeau Visitor’s Bureau to participate in an Instagram Takeover! An Instagram Takeover is basically where I sign in to Instagram as @visitcape and […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, some of my best adventures happen by chance… This past Saturday, The Hubs and I were out for a drive when we noticed a sign in front of Old St. Vincent’s Catholic Church that read “Open for Tours”. I’ve been dying […]
Sometimes my real and online worlds collide and it’s a fabulous thing. That’s what happened last Saturday. My worlds collided and it was all kinds of cool… On Saturdays, The Hubs and I have a routine that involves breakfast, running errands, and wandering the streets of downtown Cape Girardeau. We […]
