My birthday celebration couldn’t have been more perfect. It started before I got out of bed with personalized videos sent to me, one from a friend I had only met once seven years ago, and one from my brother in Nicaragua… When technology is not driving me crazy, it is truly amazing me! Then Ava […]
Vacation to Stay-cation
We arrived back to Tybee on Friday afternoon a full week earlier than intended from our vacation. But we decided we’d rather get back to the place we truly love and finish our vacation with a stay-cation. The night before I had responded to my friend Jan’s Facebook post in regards to buying living room […]
Blending Life with Work and Play (Key West Day 5)
Friday 1/15/16 We are definitely operating in “Low Key” Key West style today. Kyleigh had an allergic reaction to something she ate last night. We can only narrow it down to chipotle peppers that were in a new salsa we tried. She broke out with a raised itchy rash on her face. She is asleep […]
Old Man Winter
The northern winds came knocking on my window waking me from my warm nest of jersey knit sheets and quilts piled on top. Just days before I was in tattered denim cut offs, a racerback tank top and barefoot sitting in the sun on our deck. Along with the new year, winter has arrived on […]
The Real New Year’s Day
Creamy white clouds spread like buttercream frosting across the periwinkle blue background. Pink, yellow and orange beams blazing through sparkle off the palm fronds that are dancing in the breeze at the top of the tree outside my window. I sit on the soft worn sofa next to the window that faces the dark grey […]

Today we took advantage of the almost 80 degree weather and decided to go on a bike ride to meet our friends for football watching at Hucapoos. Our bikes are in constant need of tune ups and repair. Living three doors from the ocean the salt air doesn’t have the same effect on bicycles as […]
Better to Give Than to Receive
A cold Miller Lite inside my signature stainless steel koozie was clutched in my hand. Next to me sat Katie. We were at the concrete bar on the outside deck at hucapoos. Enjoying the warm southern winter with a clear sky dotted with stars overhead. JT, who was tending bar, asked us if we were […]
Georgia, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia – Two Weeks Away
We drove to Virginia the Saturday before Thanksgiving, expecting to stay only one week, but as life would take its twists, turns, peaks and valleys, I ended up staying an additional week. Sean was asked to sing and play mandolin for a friend’s wedding on Sunday. So we spent a couple days in the mountains. […]
