When Chef JJ Boston first talked to me about EggFest, I have to admit I didn’t get it.   Eggs?  Really?  A food festival based on eggs?   But that is not what EggFest is about.

The “Egg” in EggFest is the Big Green Egg, a unique barbecue product.  It is a smoker, a grill and an oven all rolled into one.  On your egg, you can cook everything from appetizers to desert, and this festival celebrates all of that.

Sometimes it is fun to be a tourist in your own city.  Last week my brother was in town, and we wandered around downtown seeing the sites.  Indy is a pretty city when you take the time to look at it.  

One of the coolest things about going to the Stutz Building is discovering all the interesting and unusual businesses that call this historic building home.   Sophia Violins is one of those businesses.

Wandering into their space you will find violins in all stages of construction.   These handcrafted instruments are truly a work of art

I love cars, not the ones they make today, but the classic designs of days gone by.   Today, it seems that most cars look alike. Stroll through a parking lot at the mall and you will be faced with a sea of beige mini vans, grey somethings, and the occasional pop of color.

But wander through the halls of the Stutz building and you will be reminded of what cars once looked like.

As the morning sun comes out from behind the trees in our yard, it shines through one of the first pieces my husband every made.

A fun tribute to Truman Lowe one of the first artists he worked with, Mr. Lowe’s smile brightens every morning.

One of my favorite things about spring is knowing I will be able to start my day here.  The little table on our deck is the perfect place to sit and watch the morning begin.

Do you have a favorite spot to sit and collect your thoughts before you start your day?
