Panthers and Bears, Oh My….. When most people think of Florida, they think of sunshine and sandy beaches. And this is partly true, but there is more to Florida than a glorious lifestyle of mild weather. When the Captain and I moved to Florida …I was surprised to learn of all the different types of…
Woman in Gold….this of course is a Movie review and what a wonderful movie! I really like movies that are based on true stories and Maria Altmann has an interesting and remarkable story to tell… though all to common for many during World War II.

The Dish Pantry! I love to entertain and I love tablescapes! My new friend, “Pam Darling” ….. asked me the other day how I keep track of all my dishes for my tablescapes. I told her if one has many sets of dishes…one has to be fairly well organized or it can be difficult to go…

Strawberries, Strawberries and More Strawberries! Homestead, Florida and Plant City, Florida have some of the largest strawberry fields in Florida…and there are many smaller strawberry fields around our little city so we always have plenty of strawberries (Winter Strawberries, Spring Strawberries and Summer Strawberries), to choose from almost all year long. So when Spring is…
