Mother’s Day Walk In The Botanical Garden

Chapel Hill, NC – This has been a glorious Spring so far and the blooming flowers in my beds look amazing. My Mother has always loved gardening and being outside enjoying nature.

Tar Heel 10-Miler This Saturday

Chapel Hill, NC – I am not a runner, although I sometimes dream that I’m running when I’m in bed at night. But I do have plenty of friends that absolutely love to run.

Historic Walking Tour Of Franklin Street & Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill, N.C. – Yes, Chapel Hill is a college town filled with bars and funky shops. But, it used to be a sleepy little town and is full of history and historic homes.

Independent Bookstores in Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill, NC – Since I was a kid, I have loved reading in bed.  I love classics like To Kill A Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies and The Catcher in the Rye.
