Swimming Pigs
Reading Time: < 1 minuteImagine (if you can) that one of your dream vacations is to visit the Bahamas, mainly to have the Swimming Pigs experience. OK, neither can I imagine that. But I did find a travel blogger who said that. See for yourself here. Our cruise included a choice to book a shore… Read more

Unplugged
Reading Time: 4 minutesThere’s an old debate about whether all the technology we use daily makes our lives easier or harder, whether it simplifies or complicates our existence. I can argue the issue either way. The truth is, though, I’m tired of how enslaved to technology I’ve become. That’s not to say that I’m brave… Read more

Cruise Virgins
Reading Time: < 1 minuteUp until now Randy and I have never had any desire or given much thought to taking a cruise. People. That always the problem for us. So many people, so little space. But it seems like EVERYONE we know who lives in Florida are cruise veterans. And most people love them… Read more

Living Like Millionaires
Reading Time: 4 minutesWe just got back from spending a week at a marvelous beach house on St George Island. It was everything I’d expected a week at the beach would be. But it was more than that. We’d never heard of St George Island when some dear friends invited us to spend some time… Read more

Happy Pappy’s Glowing Balls
Reading Time: 2 minutesI laugh ever time I think about Happy Pappy’s Glowing Balls. You KNOW where my mind goes! That’s why (from someone who holds a degree in Marketing) the name of this business is so brilliant. Unforgettable. Last year, Kristine and Gary gifted us with two glowing balls like those in the photo,… Read more

Life’s Great Joy
Reading Time: 4 minutesNow that we’re free to travel whenever and wherever and however we want (barring financial considerations, of course) I find myself not caring to leave the home we’ve created in the paradise of Florida. With one exception: to visit friends and family that mean a lot of me and Randy. We’ve been… Read more

North, Not Quite to Alaska
Reading Time: 4 minutesFor the Thanksgiving holiday Randy and I decided to head north to visit family and friends. To be fair, it’s pretty much the only direction you can go by car for more than a couple hours from where we now live. Our first stop, Myrtle Beach, SC was a sweet little condo… Read more

Real, Live Mermaids
Reading Time: 4 minutesMy sister, Lisa, called a few weeks ago and wanted to plan a girl’s day trip to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. She’d been there before and thought the mermaids were one of the coolest things she’d ever seen. So cool, apparently, that driving 219 miles and picking me up on the… Read more

Go Ahead, Touch Me
Reading Time: 2 minutesI’ve never liked to fly. But I do like the convenience, as I said in my post last week, of waking up in my own bed in Florida and having dinner in my all time favorite Mexican restaurant in Camdenton, Missouri. I’m careful about using the word hate, so I won’t say… Read more

Branson and Oozing Talent
Reading Time: 5 minutesRandy and I first visited Branson, Missouri about 25 years ago after we moved to Missouri. It’s a place we enjoy a lot, full of like-minded and age-related peeps. There’s an Ozarkland store there so I can say I actually worked in Branson for a tiny bit. Over the years, we’ve seen… Read more
