Lighthouse Day
I absolutely love these structures. When we drove from Virginia to Maine, I took photos of every one that I saw. Every time we went to Chincoteague, part of the Assateague party always involved a visit to that lighthouse. When … Continue reading

Wrong Way Corrigan Day
For a long time, my only awareness of Wrong Way Corrigan was that it was something my grandmother would holler whenever someone took off heading in some direction other than the one they were supposed to. If she said “time … Continue reading

Waffle Iron Day
I like waffles. I am a fan of Waffle House, less so a fan of Huddle House. But at home, we lean toward pancakes, for practical purposes. It has always been thus. I think my great-grandfather was the first one … Continue reading

Coconut Day
I don’t like coconut, in pretty much any form. Not in Mounds or Almond Joy, not dyed green and posing as easter grass on cupcakes, not as milk, not as oil. I avoided suntan lotion for years because I assumed … Continue reading

Hamburger Day
I guess there are people who don’t like hamburgers, but I’m glad I don’t know any. (Or if I do, I don’t know that I know you. Leave me in the dark, please.) When I was a really little kid, … Continue reading

Road Trip Day
I adore traveling. I think I have mentioned before that I grew up in a family that drove pretty much everywhere all the time, and that the hubs refuses to fly to this day if we can get there by … Continue reading

Rural Day
Apparently this is a Methodist thing? I’m not sure why they appropriated the idea. Rural doesn’t need a denomination, and I’ve known plenty of townie Methodists. I wouldn’t actually say that I have lived a rural life—more so small-town, suburban, … Continue reading
