Reality is overrated, which is why both Jenna and I are avid readers of fiction. (And yeah, I write fiction, too. I have several novels in a filing cabinet where no one will ever see them. Publishing a novel is high on my bucket list.)
So for this week’s Three-fer, we decided to [...]

Looking at art is always nice. Well, usually. Spending time with an artist who created work you like or love? Well, that’s a treat beyond belief. Time slows down and speeds up and your synapses start firing off like crazy. Things just shift a little to the left. Here, some artists we’ve been lucky enough [...]
I’ve never been a huge fan of Remington and Russell, the brand names in Western art. Oh, I recognize their importance and talents, but their cowboys ‘n’ Indians artwork strikes me as kitsch, and not my favorite flavor.
So I was lukewarm to the idea of Western art until I visited the Whitney Galleries at the [...]

Home for the holidays? After that’s all wrapped up, how about decompressing with a trip through one of our favorite historic houses? Though some people believe I’ll go to hell for this, you might even want to play one of my favorite historic house tour games: What’s that? Just pick some random item in a [...]

We’re none of us immune to the pull of the gift shop. I’m a sucker for souvenirs, though I choose carefully. It’s a thin line between charming and cheesy. I don’t mind crossing it, but with care. So if you’re thinking about getting us a little something while you exit through the gift shop, today’s [...]

You still haven’t finished your shopping?* What am I going to do with you? Well, get to it. Here, handmade goods from or about or somehow just having to do with states from Montana on through to Wyoming. (Hankering for the AL to MO set? I got your back.)
Montana: Hmmm, I may need to read [...]

Flyover America is getting ever-so ever-so with the wine. Wineries are as ubiquitous as spas these days across the country. They’re in the most unexpected places.
Texas is the fifth largest wine producer in the country. Close to my home, Grapevine, Texas has eight wineries. They’re all over the Hill Country. I’ve done a Lubbock wine [...]

Boo!
Scare you? No? Well, we’ve got a few other tricks and travel treats bubbling away in this week’s Three-fer Friday cauldron. Here, some places and experiences that left us with chills (still multiplying). Happy Halloween!

The Halloween season is nearly behind us and the shopping season is just about upon us. Shopping can be odious or delightful, depending on the who (Jenna is an enthusiastic shopper, Sophia would rather not) and where. So for today’s three-fer we present three shops in which we could happily do all our holiday shopping.
Our [...]
