The Great Maryland Lawn Mower Event

This year we decided to redo the back yard. It had once been grass, that was then dug up an turned into a bicycle pump track. Unfortunately this led to a lot of mud. Combined with muddy paws and shoes all over my kitchen floor it was more than I could bare. So finally, after [...]

Baltimore Clothing Stop & Swap

Boy am I sorry I didn’t see this sooner! I was posting a comment on the Baltimore Sun this morning and to the right saw and ad for the Baltimore Clothing Stop & Swap. I had never even heard of this, but I was immediately excited. Woohoo, someone is organizing clothing swaps in my very [...]

Family Tree: Elizabeth Flesher died on January 9th? Spooky…

So, out of curiosity I did a search of my name on Google and found an interesting image of a headstone (shown above).

Close to my home is http://www.bikramyogahampden.com/ which looked interesting and has classes at hours that are convenience for me [...]

Lauraville Market Connection

I spy something new in the neighborhood… What was once an abandoned gas station on the corner of my neighborhood in Lauraville (Baltimore City, MD) now appears to be a farmer’s market of sorts.  Many developers had plans to turn the area into anything from apartments to  a yoga studio, but no one has actually [...]
