Hello and welcome to my blog! I’m Judy, an empty nester just trying to find something to do during the day. I’ve been married a long time to a fantastic man who recently retired from the Navy after 34 years of service. I’m very proud! But he works too much and travels often so I have a lot of free time on my hands. I’m also the mother of two gorgeous, creative, awesome GROWN boys…hence my dilemma. I’m a right-brained empty nester who needs to be active and creative or I’m bored!I love to cook and eat. I love to try new cocktails. I love to spend time with friends and family, decorate, travel and even exercise just a bit. So in 2013, after reading food blogs in the morning with my cup of coffee, I thought “I’ll start a blog!” and now here I am. In the beginning I wasn’t quite sure what this blog would turn into, but apparently it’s a lot of cooking and drinking and a little bit of other activities along the way.
