Let’s set the record straight. Peepaw and I are NOT gamblers. (I spent a grand total of five bucks during our Vegas stay…and I came away with $7.03 so I am a WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!) The only reason we ended up in Las Vegas for three nights of our trip was to SAVE some […]
Company Is Coming! But First More Garlic Herb Bread
I LOVE to welcome company since it gives me a chance to pull out all the stops and cook up a storm! And let’s face it. Our house is never cleaner than when we’re expecting houseguests. So this next week will be a whirlwind for me. Tomorrow I’m heading to another local high school to […]
Back To School…With LOTS of Herbs!
In case you wonder if I’ve dropped off the face of the earth…fear not! But my blog writing schedule has been interrupted by MANY items on my calendar, including a trip back to school! No…I’m not enrolling. I am headed to a local high school tomorrow. But first I’ll be heading to my herb garden […]
Family Before Blog Posts…And Family Comes This Weekend
Hello Dear Readers! As you might imagine, our Western adventures didn’t end with our flight to Las Vegas. In fact I can’t wait to tell you all about our days spent in Nevada, California and Oregon! But we’re planning to spend this Labor Day weekend with our family, so I’m taking a short break from […]
Trains, Planes, And Automobiles – Union Station, Denver
Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. Our MeemawHeadsWest2018 Road Trip has them all. And Union Station in downtown Denver was the perfect place to add that train portion to the equation. Peepaw was the planner for this itinerary, and it’s a pretty complicated one. I was happy to give that job to him since I spent years as a […]
Elvis Fans? Don’t Miss Nick’s Cafe – Lakewood Colorado
Trust me. Elvis is alive and well in Lakewood Colorado. When we were in the Denver area I asked my trusty smartphone GPS (I call her Stella) to guide us to a good breakfast spot nearby. She sent us to Nick’s Cafe. And little did I know we were walking into an Elvis shrine. But […]
Ambrusci’s Fire And Wine Restaurant – Lakewood, Colorado
Ambrusci’s Fire & Wine Restaurant in Lakewood Colorado is fairly new, and it’s only blocks away from Peepaw’s sister’s home. But before we headed out for dinner we were greeted with a beautiful lunch! As you already know…family and food go hand in hand for us. And when we arrived at Patricia and Robert’s home we […]
Citta’ Deli Tiramisu- A Taste of Italy In McCook Nebraska
When we pulled into McCook Nebraska I had no idea I would end up in Italy for dessert. But that’s exactly what happened when we strolled by Citta’ Deli. And I had no clue that I was about to sample the best tiramisu I had ever tasted. You see, small town America is filled with […]
The Chief Motel and Mexican Munchies – McCook, Nebraska
As we continued our “Meemaw Heads West 2018” Road Trip we picked McCook Nebraska (population 7,698 in 2010) as our overnight stop on our way to Denver. You see, we got off the freeway and took an amazing “road less traveled” route this time. That route turned out to be an awesome choice. What’s not […]
Honey Creek Restaurant – Our Lunch In Waverly, Nebraska
Our Western adventure began in sunshine in Iowa, but by the time we stopped for lunch Mother Nature was sending some much-needed raindrops down onto the corn and bean fields in Nebraska. In fact the outside temperature dropped from the 80’s in Iowa to 63 degrees, thanks to that rain! And we were ready to […]
