Exploring the simple pleasures in life.
After many years of effort, I have found that the key to true happiness comes with learning to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. It’s in the awesome feeling that you have when the garden is full of beautiful banana peppers. It comes from spending time with the people you love and sharing fantastic adventures with them. This Uncomplicated Life is my way of sharing my journey into finding and enjoying the simple pleasures.

While in Charlottesville, Virginia, we revisited Walnut Creek Disc Golf Course. It's been seven years and the course was just as great as we remembered.
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese
In an attempt to eat low-carb, I found a good recipe for cauliflower mac and cheese. Nervous at first, this turned out to be a delicious dish.
Kanawha Falls
We spent an afternoon enjoying the spectacular Kanawha Falls in Glen Ferris, West Virginia. Kayaking inside the horseshoe of waterfalls was extraordinary.

We found a gem in Nellie's Disc Golf Course. With waterfalls, caves, and corrals, it quickly became one of our favorite courses we have played.

While we were in Lewisburg, WV, we stopped at Thunderbird Tacos for a fantastic lunch. They offer a nice variety of tacos, all with great ingredients.

Braddock’s Inn Review
We found good food and a country atmosphere at Braddock's Inn in Farmington, Pennsylvania. The mussels were spectacular.
Ravens Ridge Disc Golf Course
We don't normally play nine-hole courses, but we found Ravens Ridge Disc Golf Course. Perched on the side of the New River Gorge, it is fun with great views.
Blowing Rocks Preserve
On our third attempt, we finally made it to Blowing Rocks Preserve, where we spent a magical morning watching the waves crash into the Anastasia limestone.

Baked Apples
I found a baked apple recipe that was fairly simple and absolutely delicious. It's too bad I had a mishap with the knife.
