Tweet Hands down our favorite Bluegrass Romance Project Mini-Mission was No.8: Participate in the Art at 21C Museum Hotel.

Tweet The groves were God’s first temples. ~William Cullen Bryant, “A Forest Hymn” Last Sunday, 60 ft above the earth, a little yellow butterfly landed by my foot on the bark of a giant red oak tree. Yes, I was 60 ft in the air…and I was climbing a tree like I had only done [...]
Tweet A few weeks back my husband surprised me with one of our best dates of all time: private dance lessons for the two of us. We learned how to dance Rumba to Lady in Red (which is an uber-romantic song to begin with– throw in slow-dancing with the love of your life and it [...]

The official date for the start [...]
Tweet Tops on my list of romantic settings are bakeries. I love them– especially if they remind me of Europe. Meet Luca of Shadeau Breads, the young man I instantly fell in love with because he has the same name (spelled differently) as my son. Now meet the pastries: Shadeau Breads in the Over the [...]
Tweet (Note: This mini-mission could have also been titled “Make the most out of a 20 hour vacation”). Saturday afternoon at 4pm, Mr. Cecil and I dropped our three year old off at our good friends house, and then raced down I-64 to Louisville. We were headed to 21c Museum Hotel, where six months ago [...]

This or that has got you down, and you’d rather stay in bed, or at least inside the comfort of your own home. “Can’t we do this another time, honey?” you say, still in your p.j’s [...]
