Becki at A Book Lover’s Adventures has been running a series on her blog this year called Hometown Tourist.  She was kind enough to accept my submission to feature Arroyo Grande, CA.  We only lived there for three short years but it found a place in all our hearts and in many ways feels like our home town.

Please hop over to Becki’s blog to read all about it.  After you read about AG, check out a couple of the other featured home towns.  You might find a few stops to add to your next vacation.  I certainly have!

Here are a few pictures of Arroyo Grande to whet your appetite for more…

Are There Giants In Illinois?

BySheila Racinez

We stumbled upon a land for giants in the cornfields of Illinois.  We went in blind, as usual.  I found a couple “World’s Largest” entries on Roadside America that happened to be in the same town.  “Great!  We can see two big things in one stop.  How convenient!”  What I didn’t realize was that this…

Eek!  It’s almost here already!  I feel like I’m still recovering from Day in the Life (you can read about it here, here, and here).  I’m not ready for another big documenting project already!

A Pilgrimage to Ivy Green

BySheila Racinez

In honor of Helen Keller’s birthday, June 27, I have written this post about my 2010 visit to her birthplace, Ivy Green.   I’ve always been a reader.  One book I read as a child that has had a lasting impact was a Helen Keller biography.  I’m not sure if it’s because I also had…

Virginia has been home to 8 American presidents.  I’ve been to George Washington’s estate (Mt. Vernon) a few times, visited Monticello a few years ago, stopped by Woodrow Wilson’s Presidential Library (and birthplace home) last summer, and finally checked James Madison’s home, Montpelier, off my list this summer.   Who was James Madison? James Madison…

Fastest Things on Wings – A Day in the Life of a Hummingbird Rescue Volunteer

BySheila Racinez

This is the story that caught my attention… Every 20 minutes, from dawn to dark, the babies need food. That means catching hundreds of fruit flies a day, freezing them, crushing them with mortar and pestle, and mixing the mush with special nectar supplemented with vitamins, enzymes, and oils in precise combination. The mixture spoils…
