As a three year resident of Fredericksburg, Texas, I have developed some strong relationships in my community and have kept a list of the perfect places to visit on a Thursday – Sunday trip to the Hill Country, otherwise respectfully known as “Texas Wine Country”. I personally know about 90% of the owners of the […]
I moved to New England from South Dakota when I was 15, talk about a culture shock. I loved New England weather (most of the time), the scenery, and the people but as I got older, my body started to not enjoy it. When the temperature dipped below 30 degrees, my husband Scot, a Massachusetts […]
