The Enchantments

Introduction:

Words cannot properly describe, and no photo will ever do justice to the landscape and experience recounted below. It is something people must see for themselves. Without first-hand experience The Enchantments is something a mind cannot comprehend. 

About Love...

I have these ideas about love. What it is, how I like it, and what I do to show it.

Before I get going, I’ll remind you that this is a blog…’nough said?

I have loved a lot of people, and there is a good chance if you are reading this that I love you; or you love me…maybe the feeling is mutual?

Tossed and Covered

My mom is always saying, “I found a new Brussels Sprouts recipe.” My first question is always, “Oh yeah, how many ingredients?” I like most of my vegetables pretty simple…just how they come, with some salt and pepper…I eat sprouts 3-4 times per week regularly.
