When I was young my Grandmother wintered in Florida and came north in the summer. In the 40’s & 50’s Florida was a prescription for the relief of arthritis pain, which she suffered severly, so the minute the cool mornings appeared she packed and headed for the train station, where she bought her ticket.

Barefoot no more.  All my life I have gone barefooted and never had a problem, although I have had many warnings of the terrible things that might befall me. My sons spent their early years barefooted, as the theory was they developed better arches. Not really thinking the theory out, the arches probably were developed […]

Championship Golf Course is, out of the mouth of an avid golfer, the best golf course in the Villages. Sean had an opportunity to play Evans Prairie this morning and he came home raving. If you know Sean, he is an Ambassador at Tierra Del Sol, you know that he loves golf. He will play […]
