Don’t know about you guys in the rest of the country, but I’m pretty sure those of us who live in Florida are OVER summer now, and counting the days until the first fall weather arrives. MAN, it’s been a hot one down here, but hopefully, it will start easing up a bit soon. In […]

Happily, the rain and wind have disappeared from this area, the sun is out again, and if I had the energy to get in my canoe, I could head out on the river just like this gal. (If you look close, you can see the manatee she’s watching.)  Even if I stay home, though, it’s […]

Just when I think I can breathe easy for a bit, we get more warnings. Seminole County (where we live) is now included in a TORNADO watch! Give me a hurricane over a tornado ANY day! Sure hope nothing comes of this one, but I’m looking at some stuff in the backyard that probably needs […]

We are still under a major bad weather watch, though nothing happened last night. Looks like it will get rainy later today and tomorrow will tell the tale as to how bad this storm will be. The brunt of the storm is on track to make landfall at “Big Bend” where the Florida mainland begins […]

It looks like we here on the east coast are in for a much easier ride than those along the west one. I wish NONE Of us were likely to experience Tropical Storm Debby, but alas, pretty sure parts of the state are gonna have some nasty weather, especially along the Gulf of Mexico. Hopefully […]

Just a quick note to let you know that we have a possible tropical storm (or worse) heading towards Florida this weekend, so if I disappear for a day or two, it’s likely because we’ve lost power. I’m HOPING it bypasses us and heads out into the Atlantic instead, where damage would likely be minimal, […]

The dreaded Holter monitor is GONE!! I’m doing the Happy Dance all over the place. (Well, for me, it’s more like the Happy Shuffle, but that’s okay. It’s the “Happy” part that counts!) I am delighted to have that thing that’s been taped over my heart for a week disappear!! I won’t know the results […]

Just wanted to thank you all for being so kind and understanding as I make my way through several health issues that have slowed me down considerably. Let me say right up front, they have NOT stopped me completely, nor WILL they! But it might be a little while before I get totally back on […]

Sorry to have continued being MIA for so long, but it seems everything has gone awry at the same time around here. Between health issues and the resulting doctors’ appointments, my days have turned into a blur of stuff to do and places to go. My normally very, very quiet life has been turned upside […]
