Georgia Boots. Carhartt vest. Loaded gun in hand. Targets in the distance. Yes, folks, I picked up a gun for the first time in a year or so. I looked the part, but putting it to the test was more work than I expected. Last Friday evening, my boyfriend’s family and I set up some targets (about 25 yards away) ... Read More »
Yes, I think I have decided that fall is my favorite season. It’s right after the really hot (baseball season) and just before the really cold (football and basketball season). It is my favorite time of year to walk outside and fill my nostrils with the fresh crisp scents of the new season in Maine. I mentioned walking on The ... Read More »
Bean bag toss. It is a simple and easy game that everyone can enjoy (beer in hand or not). Last weekend I played with family and friends inside a brand new garage (due to the weather) at a get-together. There was laughter, good food and strategy. All the strategy part consisted of was throwing it straight, and if it lands ... Read More »
We all know that there are disappointments in life, especially in sports. Your favorite teams, players or even broadcasts let you down when you least expect it. Well, I endured one of those disappointing times this last week. Last weekend we spent Sunday watching the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Loudon, N.H.on the couch at home. It just isn’t the ...

Ever looked outside and thought, Hey, what a beautiful day for a walk outside? I know I have. We couldn’t ask for better weather lately. The transition into the fall season creates a crisp and refreshing atmosphere for exploring a walking trail or making your own trail through the woods. I for one love being outside so anyone asking for ... Read More »
Yup. Weather is cooling down and football season has begun—it’s officially fall—and I love it. Baseball has also been sent to the back burner (mostly because the Sox are losing and learning, yeah, we will say that). And my main sport, basketball, is on its way! The smell of high school football is also in the air. Time to visit ... Read More »
After a two-week hiatus, I am ready to get back into the swing of sermonizing to my friends. So many things to catch up on… Let’s start with Tony’s helmet throwing escapade at Bristol. Tempers flared after he and Matt Kenseth wrecked each other fighting for the lead—it happens. But I think Tony’s flame was burning a little hotter than ... Read More »
I took French for four years between middle and high school—and glad I did now. My French memory is not as strong as my English (for obvious reasons), but helped make for an interesting trip to Fenway Park last Friday night. Even though I am by no means fluent in the language, I tried my hardest to make sense of ... Read More »
The countdown has begun. Loudon is about two months away, and I can’t wait (to see Tony win again)! In the latest edition of NASCAR Illustrated I learned some things. I will take you through my magazine experience. Supposedly Dale Jr. has a girlfriend now? Her name is Amy, and her fingernails were painted yellow in the photo with her ... Read More »
Let’s talk about something real—something beautiful. Mom and I took our annual day off from work (that’s gorgeous all on its own) last week to enjoy a day on the lake. We loaded up our kayaks into the pickup and headed to Embden Pond. The conditions were supreme: 85 degrees and the water was as smooth as Charles Barkley’s noggin. ... Read More »
