I’ve been fascinated with hot air balloons for as long as I can remember. My dad used to take me to a field just down the road from our house where balloonists would land and I always wanted a ride. When I moved to Las Vegas, balloons would lift off near our apartment in Summerlin […]
Welcome Spring at the Morges Tulip Festival
Growing up in western Pennsylvania, the winters were long and harsh. Tulips beginning to bloom were the definitive sign that winter was finally over. For a few months anyway.

Dinner in the Dark
Taste is such a complicated sense. Taste is connected to our other four senses and what we “taste” is influenced by smell, touch, texture, sight and even temperature.
