Our friends Jesse and Jennifer arrived a little after noon yesterday and it sure was good to see them again. They lived across the street from us at our place in Edgewater, Florida, and I can’t count the good times we had together, whether it was fishing from our pontoon boat, browsing antique shows, going […]

A Lot To Get Done

We went out on the deck last night and there was a beautiful moon lighting up the place. It’s so nice and relaxing sitting out there, throwing a ball for Alli, and just hanging out together. And as beautiful as the moon was, this wonderful lady made it pale in comparison. Our dear friends and […]

Just like a bad rash, or that annoying brother-in-law who keeps showing up to borrow your tools and never returns them, I’m back! Did you miss me? I sure missed all of you! I appreciate everybody’s patience while we’ve been offline for so long due to Hurricane Ian. Let me give you an update on […]

No Ghosts, No Goblins

This is our fifth Halloween in our house here in Edgewater, Florida, and every year we buy candy for the trick or treaters. And not once have we had a ghost or goblin or anybody else show up at our door in or out of costume. I think that tradition has pretty much gone by […]

Dorothy Was Right

I don’t remember how old I was the first time I saw The Wizard of Oz, but I know it scared the hell out of me. I mean, tornadoes, houses landing on top of people, witches, flying monkeys, a talking lion, and some guy behind a curtain bellowing out orders. I’m pretty sure I had […]

Thanksgiving Day we left home sometime around 1:30 PM and drove 120 miles to Jacksonville, where we checked into the Hampton Inn on Beach Boulevard. This is where we prefer to stay when we are in town for an appointment at the Mayo Clinic. On our first visit to Mayo, a few weeks ago we […]

Frustration City

My driver’s license may say I live in Edgewater, Florida, but yesterday I felt like I spent much of the day in Frustration City. That’s not a pleasant place to be, and I’m not a pleasant person to be around when I’m stuck there. The day started off on a bad note when I stepped […]

Our little town of Edgewater and neighboring New Smyrna Beach on Florida’s Atlantic Coast are friendly communities with a lot of small town charm and atmosphere to them. And except for a very few “problem citizens” almost everyone we have met have been wonderful people. However, if local folklore is to be believed, it wasn’t […]

Just A Short Post

Just a short blog post today. Terry and I got home last night from an eleven day road trip that took us from our home in Edgewater, Florida to Alabama to visit my son Travis and his wife Geli, and then just north of Nashville to meet up with long time RVing friends. From there […]

Bike Week, spring break, and St. Patrick’s Day all at the same time. Talk about a wild and crazy trio! And you wonder why I’m not going anywhere near Daytona Beach for the next week or so? No, thank you, I’ll stay right here in our little town of Edgewater, where things are a bit […]
