AWESOME DAYS….WONDERFUL TIMES WITH DANNY……ENDLESS DAYS OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER….

Our RV – Our first home. We loved that 5 years spent in it. Home Sweet Home

Settling in to my new life. I embraced my new life in Florida….(Leaving the weather out for now).

We were so much in love. Neither of us had ever been married. He had had live ins and lot’s of women. I was a single mom who had never dated since breaking up with her son’s biological father…..
We were like teenagers. Everything came alive. Danny and I did everything together.
Worked together. Played together. Laughed and loved.
We also cried together.
Learning to live in a NEW STATE, NEW HOME, NEW MARRIAGE, NO FAMILY, NO FRIENDS And NO BOBBY. NO DREAM OF GRANDKIDS.
Yet, I thrived. We were BUSY.
Bike riding every evening. I rode all over the area all day. Down Park…

I wanted a way to post and share lot’s of pictures and information about OUR NECK OF THE WOODS…..

The animals come back almost right away after a burn. The grasses and weeds start growing in a few days. It takes very little time for the land to look healthy again. This really helps to SLOW down a lightning strike turned fire.
I am amazed how quickly new life returns.

When I first met Danny in 2004 he was working at Bok Tower Gardens In Lake Wales. A beautiful piece of Heaven On Earth.

The reason I wrote that Danny was Creating our Supper was he took his time layering the French Fries And Fish Sticks just right. They had to be perfect. It was fun watching him
BUT I REALLY WANTED TO GRAB THEM UP AND JUST PUT THEM ON THE PAN. I was starving. It was 3 in the morning. I needed to EAT.
This was the kind of meal Danny was used to having. Nothing he had to make from scratch.  When we moved into the RV our oven worked but made the fish and fries soggy. SO I seldom fixed them.
They also took up too much room in the freezer and we had so little space.
So we did without them most of the time.

“There really is no life before the first pot of coffee in the morning” Gun Roswell

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee…and some more Coffee

Since the dawn of time when humans first dropped down from the trees and started walking, their first trip must have been to the closest Starbucks for some coffee.

Remember the classic film “2001: A Space Odyssey” and first scene where the prehistoric man is bewildered when a big black block lands before him? What if instead of the monolith a giant cup of coffee would have landed? I think we would have evolved much faster and would be more advanced today if that would have been the case 😉

But let’s move forward in time and to present day.

I have dropped in a quite a few suggestions (read request) in our office “suggestion box“: Add to the list of necessary office supplies an IV drop filled with…

Woke up with a migraine… again, and want to just laze around the sofa and watch a feel-good movie. And then boom! Accidentally bump into this at the exact time it just started while browsing the
