A Leap of Faith
Yesterday was a really interesting day. Our AC was broken as it had been since Sunday night. The temperature has been surfing in the 100′s so were all hot and bothered, but not in that fun kind of way. The cats laid around panting and barely responding to anything we did or said to try [...]

Goodberry’s Custard
Driving through Durham, NC recently, I had the opportunity to stop at one of the area’s local Goodberry’s frozen custard shops. Featuring different flavors daily, focus is on the texture.
