    Taking a Sick Day!

    ‘ Because I am still suffering from a bad cold, I spent pretty much the entire day yesterday on the couch watching my Dawson’s Creek DVDs (I am so on Team Pacey, by the way!).  So, I unfortunately do not have a new post for today, but I promise to be back tomorrow with a…

    The Buhrman House from “Truth Be Told”

    ‘ I am a firm believer in love at first sight.  I definitely had hearts in my eyes upon catching a glimpse of the stunning Victorian where the Buhrman family lived on Truth Be Told.  The towering Queen Anne, pitched atop a leafy hill, was striking, to say the least, and I promptly set out…

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while watching the Season 7 episode of The Closer titled “Last Rites”, I received a text from my mom, who was also watching the show at the time.  She was curious to know if I was aware of what church the episode had been filmed at.  And, as fate…

    ‘ I spent all of this past weekend celebrating my birthday (which was fabulous – the GC even bought me a new camera, which I LOVE!), so I was unable to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow with a whole new location. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

    Liberace’s Former Home

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while doing some stalking in the Valley, I became a bit obsessed with locating the home where legendary pianist Liberace lived back in the 1950s.  I first heard about this location, ironically enough, from comedian and Whose Line Is It Anyway? star Ryan Stiles, who also owned the property…
