As our friend Dorothy’s visit winds down, we made sure she had several more experiences in South Florida.  We went to breakfast at Anglin’s Pier in Lauderdale by the Sea…   The food is OK, but the view is priceless.   It’s hard to keep the sea gulls from dive-bombing your food!   The View […]

Some places are just SPECIAL.  And Flip Flops is one of those places.  We LOVE it.  You’ll feel the casual atmosphere as soon as you step through the door, and  your stress of the day (if you have any) will begin to melt away. The Caribbean colors and mixed-up paint scheme create a happy vibe, […]

          We are having a great time with our friend, Dorothy.  And when friends come to visit, what do we do?  We make the rounds to our favorite restaurants and bars!  So here are some of our stops so far on our trail of food and FUN!   Wings with Garlic […]

  Last year we watched as stakes were planted in a large plot of sand on the Intracoastal Waterway near our condo.  We watched as a beautiful dock was constructed and a huge new building began to take shape.  And over the summer I kept track of the progress via web cams and websites while […]

Yesterday, our Iowa friends Ed and Joyce surprised us with a short visit…and we were THRILLED to see them!   We spent some time on the deck… Ed and Joyce…GOOD FRIENDS!   And this morning we headed to the Quality Diner in Wilton Manors for a Valentine breakfast before they headed North.  Our waitress, Connie, […]

As you may know…we try LOTS of diners when we travel.  But no matter WHERE we go…this diner is the best.  PERIOD. Chef Francois and his staff will do whatever it takes to make sure the diners are satisfied.  And it feels like we’ve walked into a Mayberry diner when we open the door…EVERY SUNDAY […]

Last night, after watching the sunset over the Intracoastal and seeing a rainbow over the ocean, we strolled two blocks to sit outside at Fishtales. http://www.fishtaleson33rd.com As I said, it was a BEAUTIFUL night, and we snagged a table outside the restaurant.  33rd Street is becoming a great place to visit at night.   You’ll […]

We didn’t feel like hosting or attending a Super Bowl Party since I planned to be in my PJ’s by half-time (and I was!)…so WHERE to go for a quick dinner before the game? We chose Jack’s Hamburgers…a true American success story!     This AMAZING, family-owned hamburger stand has been in business in South […]

Imagine how wonderful it would be to be able to WALK to a tiny Italian bakery.  But I don’t have to imagine it…I can do it! All last Winter we saw an “Opening Soon” sign in the window of this little shop, only ONE BLOCK from our condo.  It never opened.  But when we returned […]

So we made some GREAT progress on the hunt for granite.  In fact, we’ve made our decision!  (More about that in another post)) But first we stopped for another diner breakfast on the way to the store. Today we went to Mom’s Kitchen (in business since 1972) to start our day.     If Anna […]
