A chilly afternoon, and downright cold night could not deter people from the Lazy Lakes RV Resort last weekend. These were not just northerners on a camping trip. Lazy Lakes hosted a charity concert benefiting Habitat for Humanity with a full roster of well known acts. Not to mention the […]
I am unapologetically geeky about certain things, wine being one of them. Being a good wine geek, I have wine geek friends all over the place. I have met up with fellow geeks in Dallas, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Disney World and beyond. So, it was no surprise when we […]
