 My wife and I were offered a new and exciting experience - flying on a Ford Tri-Motor airliner. Naturally, we jumped at the opportunity. It was one of the features during the US Sport Aviation Expo at Sebring Regional Airport.
Dressing for the Occasion
 We decided to dress for the trip. Just as when commercial air travel was in...
We would like to take this opportunity to share some scenes from the Sarasota Farmers' Market.
One of our favorite outdoor shopping experiences has been this exposition in Sarasota. It has been a great source of entertainment and goodies to take home. In fact, we have written about it in the past. This time, however, we thought we'd let you...
  January 12 was National Hot Tea Day and of course that required a road trip. We selected The Twisted Teapot in Winter Haven as our celebration destination.

  After seeing many posts about the Christmas St. Augustine - called "Nights of Lights," we were lured to the Nation's Oldest City for a Christmas vacation. While it was fun on many levels, we did learn some valuable lessons.

 As we travel to more places and have more fun in Florida, Mrs Funmeister and I have learned that minor league sports activities actually can be as much or more fun than their major league counterparts. And those who follow us, know we like fun at frugal prices.

 For better than a decade, one of the best fun zones in Highlands County has been Henscratch Farms Vineyard & Winery. Described by one wag as "a Cracker Barrel for those who like Florida wine," it has a wonderful little shop with many varieties of the Muscadine and Scuppernog grapes.
 In fact. the store is loaded with goodies. There...
 Casting about for a destination point on a Friday night we came upon the announcement of Dulcimers at Central Park in Winter Haven.
 " Bring your chairs or blankets and enjoy an evening with this unique Hammered Dulcimer band as well as demonstrations from the Wildwood Dulcimers, mountain dulcimer trio." It read. Intrigued, we set out to see...
