Well, our time in Florida came to an end today. As much as we hated saying goodbye to the beach, we are all looking forward to the comfort of our own home Sunday night. This past week was a great one. It certainly provided me the much-needed R&R. I will upload the remainder of our [...]

We’re safe and sound in the greater Destin area. Lots of people, lots of traffic. Only spotty thundershowers when we hit Pensacola on the way down; no harm done. The place where we’re staying is very nice, and it has a gorgeous view of the beach. White sand, emerald waters, and… NO seashells?!?!? CL is [...]

Day 1 of my 10-day weekend…

We were fortunate the storm grazed our area. The worst we got were the winds and lightning. Hardly a drop of rain. Unfortunately, today is expected to be the hottest day yet with temps reaching 101 and heat indices between 115 [...]

The Cardinals are riding a 7-game winning streak, the longest of the season, after sweeping the Dodgers today. Prior to this streak, they had lost 13 of 16 and dropped 5 straight series. It’s certainly good to see them start the second half of the season on a surge like this.
