Winter is in full swing…except in Southern California where our weather can’t seem to make up its mind. Cloudy and in the 50’s one day- then pushing 80° the next…. just make up your mind! I’ve been inundated with pictures from my friends and family in central Texas of the snowstorm they’ve been having and … More TGIF- fun finds

If you’ve had an ebelskiver, you know how delightful these little Danish pancakes can be. I had my first ebelskiver in Solvang, CA the cutest little Danish town in America! These are sold in every cafe there…dusted in powdered sugar and filled with berry jam…just thinking about them makes my mouth water! After our Solvang … More Ebelskivers
Since Covid has squashed any out-of-town travel plans, we have made it a mission to explore some local sights right around us.

Our great Sierra RV adventure turned out to not be enough time camping…so a week after we got back, we loaded up the rig and headed to the beach!
