The mazes are amazing. Imagine acres of tall corn cut into twisting paths in whimsical shapes from crossword puzzles to bumblebees. Finding your way amidst these mazes of maize is a fun-filled adventure for all ages at four beautiful family farms in western Connecticut. Located in Litchfield and Fairfield Counties, the farms also offer hayrides, animals for petting, and apples and pumpkins ripe for picking to make for a perfect fall weekend outing.
Ellsworth Hill Farm in Sharon may take the prize
Continuing the Travel Thursday fun! Last week I talked about the sights in Paris and saved the best for this week; the food! Parisians are known fortheir food and wine. With all the sightseeing we did we certainly workedup big appetites.
Le Square Trousseau is a typical French bistro near the Bastile and has food served all day. Traditional French fare and all very delicious!
La Gare is in the very posh 16th arrondissement and is located in an old trainstation. The place is just oozing with histor
Continuing on in Thursday fun, Travel Thursday is a fun day for me. I love looking back at pictures and thinking about all the trips we havebeen on. This week is Paris, a continuation of our Barcelona trip andParis is special enough that a post only about Paris was needed.

The metro isthe best and m

David Vergari ~ The Legacy Man
I'd like you to meet the newest member of the Thornton Winery (Temecula Valley,CA) family, winemaker David Vergari. I set down for a meet and greet with David this week and what I found was a smart, outgoing, engaging man who unselfishly shares his time, talent and skills with those that cross his path. My sense of it is that we have a "Legacy Man" here. One that has a thoughtful idea of what AVA he's come to, what his tools and trials will be , and what his legacy

Catch the premiere of Survivor Nicaragua? Geezers vs. punks -- advantage: punks. Jimmy Johnson gets winded, whoop-de-do; a goofy water-bucket challenge -- and OMG, poor Wendy! Yep, looks like we're in for another action-packed season of hijinks, namecalling, and bungles in the jungle -- this time shot around the beach town of San Juan del Sur, on Nicaragua's Pacific Coast. We didn't really see the actual town in the first episode (the tribal council setting is just a set, I'm told), and who know

In the spring of 2008 we took at 9 day trip to Barcelona and Paris and it was one of the best trips we ever took. We flew from Minneapolis to Newark and then Newark to Barcelona.
We landed in Barcelona and headed to drop off bags and explore the city before we could check into the hotel. We spent a few hours wandering around La Rambla and checked out the market.
We stayed at the Le Meridian near the Ramblas and really enjoyed being able to walk to all the sights and tapas restaurant. Lonely Planet
