Sunday....and Irma is coming for a visit and no one in Florida wants to see her. My dear readers I am writing this post from a hotel in Ft. Pierce, Florida on the east side of the peninsula of Florida. The Captain and I decided not to hunker down and ride out the hurricane when we saw the eye of the hurricane move further west and the landfall expected to be near or over our little city of Cape Coral. As I have said before, our home is pretty well built, but the storm surge expectation of ... Read More about Sunday…. And Irma Is Coming For A Visit!
