We spent most of our time wandering around the neighborhood this week, enjoying the beautiful weather. We had a few ideas for an article, but the writing mojo never got going, so we decided to share some images we captured on our walking adventures. Never Stop Exploring!

We love to eat shrimp. When it’s cooked just right over hot coals, it melts in your mouth- succulent, rich, and buttery.
