When last we spoke we were still in Florida but now we are in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Getting here was a bit of a trial. While sitting at the Orlando airport Terry discovered that she did not have her car keys. Hm. We both went through all the bags. We called Dave and DebbiContinue reading “When Last We Spoke”

Space, God and The Clydes
Here we are in sunny (LOL) Florida. I’m not advising everyone not to travel with us, but our ability to attract rainy, cloudy, cool weather is unbelievable. One example among many. A few years ago we travelled to the island of Cyprus. They had not had rain in 5 years – yes FIVE years. TheContinue reading “Space, God and The Clydes”
A Visit to Barberville Produce
If you follow me on Facebook, you may know that on Sunday Terry, Dave and Geoff visited Barberville Produce AKA Barberville Produce and Yard Art Emporium.

Three Songs For One
Do we go with The Irish Rovers “Wasn’t That A Party“, The Guess Who “Guns, Guns, Guns” or “I’m Afraid of Americans” by the Nine Inch Nails/David Bowie? You tell me.

If you haven’t heard of or visited The Villages, it is a fascinating place. ItContinue reading “It Takes The Villages”
Suwannee River aka Old Folks At Home
Some little know facts about the sunshine state. Little known fact #1: (Side note: At least by the author) The state song, which has had the lyrics updated so as not to offend, is “Suwannee River”. As far as I can tell, Stephen Foster never even visited Florida. This version is by the incredibly talented Paul Robeson.Continue reading “Suwannee River aka Old Folks At Home”
Florida: The Sunshine (?) State
Before we hit Florida, here are the flamingoes which guard the entrance to the JW Marriot Resort Hotel in Palm Desert. And at a rest stop on the highway… We had an interesting time getting here from Palm Desert. Thinking we were leaving ourselves lots of time to make our flight, we stopped at Starbucks andContinue reading “Florida: The Sunshine (?) State”
