I’m trying to end 2016 with a bang. My friend and I decided that we both needed some fun and relaxation so we planned a trip to warm Puerto Rico. This would be my second time to Puerto Rico, but it’s been almost a decade since my last visit. I have never been to Fajardo,...
It’s so hot today that I don’t feel like doing much and all I feel like eating is ice cream. Actually, I had Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia for dinner. It was perfectly refreshing. Having this flavor reminded me of the recent road trip home from Reno with my nieces and nephew. We stopped in...
I have a good friend who is probably the biggest fruit lover in the world. My weekly consumption of fruit can be eaten by her in one sitting. Growing up in Salinas, California, she is also very cognizant of the farming community. Farmers are some of the most hard working people. While wages are low,...

Reno is known as “The Biggest Little City in the World.” A little less known neighboring city a few miles from Downtown Reno is Sparks, Nevada. Sparks has a population of about 90,000 people. Each year during Labor Day weekend, 500,000...

There was an event called Brentwood Harvest Time Festival. Brentwood is well known for their agriculture and farming. Summer time is when I think about Brentwood because I...
I ran my first half marathon exactly one week ago. I participated in the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon San Diego with two friends whom I went to college with at San Diego State University over twenty years ago. It felt gratifying to be able to complete 13.1 miles in under two and a half hours....
My best friend planned a fun day yesterday. She took a group of four of us to eat at a soul food restaurant she recently discovered in the City of Vallejo called House of Soul. Read more on her blog. We went for lunch after hiking nearby. In anticipation for this lunch, I had...
I just returned from a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana. I spent a previous trip to New Orleans discovering all the great places for beignets. Not intentionally, this trip seemed to have been focused on oysters. Not shrimp or crawfish, but oysters. Louisiana produces approximately a third of the country’s oysters. With so many restaurants...
