Our Move to Asheville
Well, hello! It’s been a while! We’ve been busy with a move after buying a house in Asheville, NC in 2021 then moving in May 2022. Why Asheville? Everyone is friendly here and always ask this question. We came for the four seasons, a slower pace and the natural beauty. My husband loves to cycle…
Weekend at Boerne
We were in Boerne, (bern-ee) TX recently for a bike ride. It’s a quaint town near San Antonio. It’s been 10 years since I visited and the town continues to grow. Main street is thriving with quirky and fine shops. I’d like to return so we can explore more of it! xoxo Sarah
One Week in the Grand Canyon

I’m continuing to remove vegetable oils from my diet, fasting between meals so that I can burn fat and keeping…
Dear 2020
You are like Lucy who yanked the football out of the way right before Charlie Brown kicked it. Fortunately, I got up, dusted myself off and tried again. I’ve learned some things this year and I’m grateful for the lessons. First, I love being in quarantine with my husband. We’ve developed new routines and have…

Pedernales Falls State Park
We recently visited Pedernales Falls near Johnson City, TX. It was as beautiful and unique as I remember it from years ago, though the water is lower now. The park now requires reservations for visits. Enjoy these videos and photos! Love, Sarah
Ashburn Chicken
We have had a few friends over from time to time during the pandemic. This really lifts my spirits to be with people again! A friend gave us this recipe and I just love it! The aroma of the garlic, oregano, and fruit is divine. You can make it ahead and cook it the next…
