As we all know life can become busy and hectic at times. I feel like that is where we are right now. The pace has been fast and steady and we are both really ready to slow down and for whatever reason we just don’t have that easy pace right now. We currently have fourContinue reading “Busy, But Fun”

One of the nice things about road trips is being able to stop and visit old friends along the way. As we arrived in Surprise we were greeted by our friends Beth and Scott into their beautiful new home. It is so joyful watching our friends in this new stage of life. They left theContinue reading “Catching Up”

I have always dreamed of seeing the Grand Canyon. When I was a little girl I watched a television series called ”The Brady Bunch”. Many of you reading this are probably familiar with this series.

When we set out to do our National Parks tour we chose to do this trip as part of fulfilling our long bucket list of places to see.

My husband always tells me I have a zest for life like no other. He used to describe me as a thoroughbred race horse always ready to go and every now and then he’d have to reign me in.

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind. We have been working hard to get the house set up, Gene’s workspace in the garage finished, and projects complete so we can really start enjoying the life we came here to live. We have started getting out a little, we went to the Food Truck FestivalContinue reading “Florida Life”

Winter has arrived, we have had an interesting week of weather varying from upper seventies to mid thirties. The other day it was supposed to be one of the warmer days reaching almost eighty degrees, so I told Gene if we happen to wake up early enough I’d like to go over to the beachContinue reading “Sunrise in Paradise”

As Gene headed out for his Friday golf game with the guys, my friend and I decided to take the day and head to Blue Springs state park where Manatee come into the springs for winter to stay in the warm water. Blue Springs is a wonderful preserve and sanctuary for these beautiful creatures. TheseContinue reading “I Love Manitee”
