May 19 – 27 We returned home from North Carolina and with some time to kill before I met with my hip surgeon to get clearance to reengage with my normal activities, we drove north to Oakland to spend time with Jessica, Kris, and Gemma, one of our usual trips where we spend a long […]
April 18 – May 2 The next day was full of errands Rendy needed to run and just generally spending time together until it was time for dinner when Ann joined us, and we journeyed to The Prescott which also happened to be located in Kernersville. Touted as a farm to table dining experience, I […]
April 18 – May 2 As mentioned in the earlier post, as soon as we pulled up to Wye Hill Brewing, I recognized having been there before. It was in 2009 when we lived in Charlotte and I had just purchased our 2007 BMW 335 and took off on a Friday to drive to Raleigh […]
