The closest thing in Florida to a snow day is clouds, fog and rain. I’ve lived here for quite a few years now, and very very rarely do we have a full day of rain. The last few days we have gotten up to a low lying fog, the clouds have consistently been there and […]

What makes a Birthday remarkable? Could it be the age of a person or the amount of guests at a Birthday party, perhaps their status in life or the location of the birthday celebration.

I can’t believe it happened to me. For the past several summers we have been returning to the lake community we had retired to, and rented a home for a month. (Sean makes it through two to three weeks and then has Village withdrawal and has to get back, and that’s OK) It has been wonderful, […]
