Old Fort Western Store just took me down memory lane and I absolutely loved it 🤠

Located at📍2028 E Lee Highway in Wytheville

I’ve driven by so many times and admittedly, never stopped in, but I wanted to add a new pair of boots to my wardrobe and I hit the jackpot ✨

There were SO many boots on sale and the pricing for clothing, accessories, hats, and other western items was really affordable 🤌

I’ve been missing Fort Worth, but a quick trip down the road to Old Fort Western Store took me right back to my Texas adventures 🌵

Old Fort, you’ll see me again soon 😏

Enjoy and cheers! 🥂

A couple weeks ago, I visited The Conery and browsed their ice cream selection 🍨

It was an easy choice: Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches for the win 🤌

I chose Chocolate French Roast but all the flavors sounded so good 🤤

Currently in stock: The Classic, Strawberry Shortcake, Key Lime Pie, Chocolate French Roast, and Banana Pudding 🍓🍫

FYI: You can’t get Nightingale Ice Cream sandwiches just anywhere 👀 so having a local spot that carries them is pretty great.

Stop in and visit at📍3163 Greenbriar Rd, Draper

Enjoy and cheers! 🥂

Of course I’m thinking of Sal's Radford on the one day of the week they aren’t open 🤷‍♀️ but that won’t stop me from dreaming about their newest addition 🍨

Sal’s now offers a convenient, dessert to-go case, filled with freshly-made tiramisu, cannolis, and cakes 🍰

Their tiramisu has always been my favorite. What’s your top dessert choice? ⤵️

Enjoy and cheers! 🥂

Great Wilderness Brewing Company recently gave us an evening of amazing food, music, and brews ☀️🍻🥨

Located at📍91 1st Street in Pulaski, there’s so many things to love about this space. GWBC serves as a great venue for live music and their outdoor space is perfect for warm weather 🎶

The brewery features beautiful brick walls and historic charm. There’s plenty of parking nearby and it’s a central spot in downtown Pulaski.

If there’s one thing you don’t want to miss, it’s the Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese 🧀 Actually, the West Coast Supreme flatbread was DELISH too. All washed down with a cold beverage to round out a great visit 👌

Add this new spot to your must-visit list 🔁

Enjoy and cheers! 🥂
