If you are a bird watcher or just enjoy all kinds of wildlife, our home on Florida’s central Atlantic Coast is a great place to be. From alligators, dolphins, and manatees, along with all kinds of fish, the Intracoastal Waterway 800 yards from our house is loaded with marine life. And when it comes to […]
Terry and I and our friends Jesse and Jennifer spent yesterday out on the pontoon boat fishing, and I can say without a doubt that it was the best day I’ve ever had on the water. So much fun! It was the kind of day I pictured when I bought the boat. Because I still […]
My daughter Tiffany and her fourteen-year-old daughter Destiny were scheduled to arrive at the Daytona Beach International Airport at 11:24 yesterday morning. We got a bit of a late start leaving, and traffic was heavier than usual, but we still got to the arrival gate at 11:10, only to read a display is saying that […]
I have been working hard on the second book in the Tinder Street saga and I should be finishing it sometime in the coming week. I thought it would go quicker than this, but as with the first book in the series, there was a lot of research to be done. It’s important to me […]
A few days ago in a blog titled The Snowbirds Are Back, I shared a picture of a pair of ospreys that return to the same tree across the street from our house to nest every year. They can be noisy, but we always enjoy watching them as they raise their little ones and get […]
Thank you to everybody who left comments, sent emails, or Facebook messages expressing concern about our unwelcome visitor Friday night. We are fine, just irritated by the fact that we have so many people like that in this world, running around bothering folks who are minding their own business and don’t want to be involved […]
Wouldn’t you know it? The temperatures here on the Florida coast have been in the mid-80s for over a week, and now that my cousin Berni Frees and her husband Rocky are visiting, a cold front has come through and dropped things down to 72° yesterday. Now, compared to the 18° they had back in […]
And it’s the best kind of company there is! My cousin Berni Frees and her husband Rocky are two of our favorite people in the world, and we always love spending time with them when we visit them at their home in Muskegon, Michigan. They decided it was time to get out of the 18° […]
We spent yesterday with Charles and Chris Yust checking out some of the 55+ manufactured home communities on Florida’s Gulf Coast, south of Bradenton. There sure are a lot of them around here! Interstate 75 is the fastest route, but what fun is that? So instead we took US Highway 41, which was slower but […]
Today I thought I’d tell you about some of the critters we’ve encountered here in the Florida Keys. In the short time we’ve been here, we’ve encountered everything from fish to birds, reptiles, and even deer. Deer in the Florida Keys? You betcha! On our first day here, we encountered this fellow, who looked to […]
