New Jersey only spans about 75 miles wide and 150 feet long, but there’s so much crammed into the Garden State that it’s hard to think it’s a small place. One of my friends who lives in a state that takes up a big chunk of acreage sees New Jersey as a blip or dot [...]
The porcupine is the first in my series of “Untamed Tuesday” posts, due to my new logo critter, made over at BlueBison.net The porcupine is considered a rodent. He carries quills on his back, and is a slow moving animal. The porcupine uses his quills in an attack. This animal eats vegetation. Porcupines can [...]
I love Bay Village and better yet the fudge that can be found there. I’ve been going to Copper Kettle Fudge since I was a little girl. My favorite is Peanut Butter and this stuff just melts in your mouth. The prices have changed over the years and the small 1/4 box is now up [...]
Buckalew’s is in Beach Haven. This has been a family favorite since I was a little girl, but it’s changed a lot over the years. I’ve been going to LBI for close to 40 years, and when I was a little girl, my dad would bring us here and we’d get Pizza or Meatball Sandwiches. [...]
I found it kind of interesting that I got a piece of mail today asking me to subscribe to Philadelphia Magazine. I live in New Jersey. I used to live in Bucks County and well, would have been a better target for Philadelphia Magazine, but did I mention I live in New Jersey? Hmmm… Are [...]
I grew up going to LBI every year as a child, and even learned to walk at the beach house. I always thought I’d retire to LBI. After all it’s like a second home to me, having been going for close to 40 years. It’s that place that says serenity to me; a second home. [...]

I’m was thinking about the cars I’ve driven over the years….Camaro, Jeep, Blazer, Dakota Sport 4×4, Nissan 200SX. (Remember when they were called Datsuns?!) I came across this web release thing that said California now ranked as number one in car theft. They had SIX different cities on that list! I was curious to see [...]
We went over to Spruce Run this August. I thought we could play in the lake for a little while. While there I noticed something "different"…I didn’t hear anyone speaking English. What? Not one person? I’d say that 98% of the people there playing and splashing around were speaking Spanish. Hmmm… I felt really weird…almost [...]
Here is my list of my ten favorite places and things in New Jersey: Long Beach Island-if you’ve never visited this beach area, you’re missing a gorgeous and charming little environment. 20 miles of no fast food restaurants, no chains…just small business at it’s best and white sandy beaches. It’s a jewel in New Jersey [...]
