This will be a very short update on the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Two of our condo neighbors (Sarah and John) prepared our home for the storm and we will be forever grateful to them. Sarah put all flower pots inside to make sure there would be no projectiles flying in the wicked wind. And […]
Jackson, Georgia – Our Snowbird Northern Migration Begins
It’s that time again. Time for our Northern migration…and Jackson, Georgia was destined to be our first overnight stop. So…after a South Florida winter filled with gorgeous sunrises… And beautiful sunsets… It was time to pack it all up…and head North. And when I say pack…I mean PACK! It’s a really good thing that Peepaw […]
Boating Hidden Waterways In Fort Lauderdale…The Venice Of America
Our winter home is located on one of the widest canals in Fort Lauderdale, and when our boating friends Norm and Nancy asked us to join them for a day on the water we grabbed our sunglasses and jumped onboard. (Yes…I think Nancy could pass as my sister…in more ways than one!) Fort Lauderdale is […]
Riverside Market and Cafe – Fort Lauderdale- “Purveyors Of Deliciosity”
Quirky is the perfect word to describe the Riverside Market and Cafe in Fort Lauderdale. And as soon as I laid eyes on it, that quirky Riverside Market and Cafe immediately became one of my favorite places in the entire city. (I’m just sorry it’s taken us years to discover that amazing eatery.) Last week […]
A Bicycle Built For…Meemaw? Welcome To My Second Childhood!
I’ve checked another item off of Meemaw’s always changing Bucket List. I officially entered my second childhood…and bought a bicycle! A Huffy Nel Lusso “Beach Cruiser” no less! Ever since we bought our Florida condo, Peepaw has been tooling around the beach and our local neighborhood paths on a bike. But the only bike I […]
Our Condo Tour…From Trash To Treasure
Peepaw and I have turned trash into treasure for as long as I can remember…so I decided to give you a tour of our Florida condo so you can see just how serious we are about reusing and repurposing items to give them new life and to keep them from the landfill…and to save a […]
Friends and Food…A Perfect Combination
When we’re entertaining friends…I’m in my Happy Place. And there is no better combination than friends and food. This week has been a whirlwind of good food and good friends, so rather than tell you all about it, let me share some photos from the past week! I love to keep things simple when it […]
Yeehaw Junction, Florida…As Quirky As It’s Name
Yeehaw Junction, Florida is as quirky as it’s name. And when it comes to names…Yeehaw Junction could be worse. You see, the “town” used to be called Jackass Crossing or Jackass Junction! I even found proof…painted right on the side of the building. Located in Oceola County, this census-designated “wide place in the road” is […]
Outback Bowl Football 2017…A “Kinnick South” Reunion
If you only look at the Hawkeye’s score in the Outback Bowl you might expect we were sorry we made the four hour drive from Fort Lauderdale to Tampa… That score? The Gators ate us alive! 30-3. (I guess that makes us GATOR BAIT after all!) But losing the football game is really a small […]
Meemaw’s Tropical Herb Garden…A Work In Progress!
There are many reasons why I love our winter home…and my tiny herb garden is certainly one of them. Every year I am anxious to see which of my mostly-perennial herbs have survived the tropical sun and heat of the long summer in Fort Lauderdale. This year when we returned, I was greeted by only […]
