Even the Dull Days can Shine
While we love sharing all the crazy things we get up to, the reality is “Killin’ The Empty Nest” includes all the non-glamorous pieces of life, like running errands together on a Sunday afternoon. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a great time together and spice up the mundane day-to-day by swinging by a cute restaurant for lunch and getting in some dance practice and wine tasting at home!
Back to the Beginning of July
With the August Singer-Songwriter night coming up at The Mill this week, we wanted to share a throwback post to the last singer-songwriter night from July!

Saturday Sun and Fun
Saturday was a long day of fun plans! We made it to both Cockrell Hard Cider and Lake City Pub to see Sweet Thang and the Stumblers and then Dustin Lafferty. We briefly tried to challenge the sun in the grassy field at Cockrell’s, but finally admitted defeat and ended our night inside at Lake City Pub.
