Welcome to Our Good Life! Our blogging career started in 2005 with a little hobby blog, mostly about our family and friends and our life in Jefferson City, Missouri. Both of us were in public school education and we loved our work!
Fast forward several years, and you will see that we have evolved as a family. Our daughter is married and lives in another state. Bob and I have moved to the St. Louis area and are loving our new post-retirement jobs. We have the opportunity to be involved in campaigns like this one with Ruth Chris' patio party and Josh Cellar Wines.
What you'll find here is...
You'll see parties, foods and recipes, photography, and backyard parties, We love to travel and you will see trip reviews and photo essays.
Welcome to our blog! We hope you come back again and again!
Recipes here are all about the good things in life. Beautiful meats, gorgeous vegetables (many grown at our home, and desserts that will make you sing! Foods that are meant to be savored and enjoyed, with good friends and family.
Travel Guides
We love to travel. We make it a priority in our lives, especially since now we've retired from our public school work. You will find fun travel guides like this one from Cabo San Lucas. Check back as we will be adding one on Palm Springs soon!
We love a good book and we are both in a lot of book clubs. We'll share our selections and our views of those books throughout the month. We also love a product that does what it claims and when we find one, we'll share it with you. All opinions are our own, and we are pretty vocal about how we feel.
