 It's been a year in the making, now Sugar Sand Distillery is making product and is open for business and we had an opportunity to take the first tour through the newest distillery in the Sunshine State
The brainchild of Don Davies and Jessica Giffin, it is located on Henscratch Road, it is just north of Lake Placid and...
 When it comes to Easter, we love a good sunrise service. We have attended the Bok Tower event and gone to a small service at Lake Clinch in Frostproof but this year as a treat to the Missus we drove to the east coast and watched the sun come up Easter Morning over the Atlantic. It took a...
We have just spent the most incredible three weeks of racing in Florida. It all happens in beautiful little Highlands County where there was a myriad of events from local displays and parties to a transport parade through the city of Sebring. Race Month - as they call it - actually begins with an event at the Sebring International...
  If you like garlic, we have discovered the annual South Florida Garlic Festival. As food-oriented festivals go we think it's as inventive as any and better than most.  We took a Saturday out of the three day festival to see the sights and enjoy the cuisine.
Those who follow us know we like the fun and funky -...
We always are looking for fun places to experience on a weekend, and as it turns out, the Town of Murals, aka Lake Placid was playing host to their 52nd annual Arts & Crafts Country Fair. More than 100 booths exhibits and displays were there including commercial vendors, public service organizations as well as church and charitable groups. That Saturday...

 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.
 Once a flower shop, the Twisted Teapot has been converted into a comfortable tea room with a combination of shabby chic decor and a tea list, that looks more like a...
  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.
  It had been better than a half century since last I visited St. Augustine. The first time I was...
  It is in January where the Florida community of Tarpon Springs takes on the nickname of "Epiphany City" and with good reason. This year an estimated 20,000 people came in for an array of activities staged by the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral as part of the annual observance, which culminates with the ceremonial retrieval of a small...
