We’re back from the land of gated communities, a Walgreens on every corner, and fashion challenged men wearing sandals and white socks. Now, lest you think I’m not a fan of ‘The Sunshine State’, it’s also a nature lovers paradise, with miles of unspoiled, pristine beaches, wildlife at every turn, and magnificent sunsets. I thought it would be fun to give you all
The Adventure Continues…
Right now we are in Englewood, Florida, but by the time you read this we’ll be on our way a little further north for a week’s stay in Madeira Beach, which will pretty much wrap up the trip with the exception of a two day stop at a friend’s house in Sanford. The weather, while lovely, hasn’t really been hot enough to go to the
Wasted Away Again In Margaritaville…
Before we go any further, I have some good news! No, I haven’t gotten lipo, nor have I had my neck goiter removed, and Clooney still won’t admit it’s me he lusts after and his marriage was a huge mistake. It’s better than all three of those things put together. Some of you already know, but for those of you who don’t… BEAU IS
Our Digs In Lake Worth
I’m sitting in the living room of our rental, alternating typing and watching the street out front and the occasional biker or walker who, unlike us, has decided to get an early start to what has shaped up to be a beautiful, sunny day. Yesterday we went to the beach, and tomorrow I have an appointment for a massage and facial while I’m sure Fisherman
Bright Nights and Kringle
It’s been a super busy week my friends, but something tells me I don’t have to tell YOU that ;). In addition to the usual hubbub this time of year brings, we’re packing and getting things ready for our two month stay down South, but recently I had the opportunity to attend some fun holiday events so here goes. (I pumped this post out at warp
Autumn In New England (and other random tidbits)
Autumn in New England is special, and I don’t take it for granted. Not for a minute. People come from all over to experience the beauty that is Autumn here in New England, and why wouldn’t they? If there is anything more spectacular, I have yet to see it. On my way to the gym, (at least twice a week. You didn’t think my
Our Excellent RV Adventure
Well, we finally did it. We rented an RV and went to the Cape to get a feel for the lifestyle and figure out if we might want to purchase one. As you might have guessed from the name of this post, I believe the answer is a resounding ‘YES’! Many people who know me might be surprised to learn I was driving this glorified
A Week In Newport
Newport Rhode Island is a place like no other. More than any other town, it stands as a visual reminder of the Gilded Age, the period between 1878-1899, when Americans who achieved monumental wealth celebrated it in ways never before, nor since, seen. A few weeks ago my friend invited us to spend the night at a house she was renting for the week (pictured
A Brimfield Field Trip
I’ve posted about Brimfield a few times since I started blogging two years ago. I hope I’m not boring you! I guess I just feel it’s one of the coolest antique fairs ever and I want to encourage EVERYONE to attend at least once. The fair happens three times a year, in May, July and September and usually lasts for 6 days. Vendors come from
Antiquing With Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi
It’s funny…I’ve been coming to this area in for eight years and somehow missed Collinsville Antiques, a huge, 22,000 square foot antique mall that sells just about anything and everything. We spent about 2 hours just browsing, and we could easily have spent more (well, I could anyway. Fisherman was getting bored). I took just a few pics with my camera phone so please excuse
