Date Night: Waxlight Bar a Vin

Dinner at Waxlight in Buffalo is one of the best restaurant dining experiences we've had.
Ok, ok. I missed a day (or two) of my February writing challenge. The weekend was a bit more than I anticipated (helllllo, Shirt Factory) and I was dead to the world after brunch on Sunday. Monday I spent in the barn with my sick horse and then napping with the babe

Date Night: Harvest at Bent’s Opera House in Medina

Ahhhhhh, ‘date night’. A term that has not been uttered around our house much over the past 7 months (or actually, the past 2 years). Between Covid and a baby, our date nights were held most often in front of our television, grazing on some pregnancy superfood. Not quite date worthy. The

Happy 4 Years, Shirt Factory

This writing challenge might be the death of me. But as Scarlett O’Hara said, “as God as my witness”….you know the rest. It’s 6:14 pm as I start this (edit: it’s 9pm as I am just about to publish) and I have been laboring all day over the subject of this post.

Rabbit, Rabbit (and a February Challenge)

Rabbit, Rabbit. So they say. I might have forgotten to say it when I woke up this morning (I think my first words were, “Gooooooood Morning Roux Bayyyybeeeee”, so can you blame me?) but I figure if they are the first words on this blog for the month, that’s something. I am
