Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you perfectly peachy parental people of the feminine variety! I celebrate you all! I am thankful for my mother. Remember the book/play/movie “Steel Magnolias”? She’s one of those southern sisters that seem fragile and smell nice but are as solid as steel and can hang on in a hurricane. [...]
Tour of a CSA

While you’re watching enjoy the tranquil and picturesque scenes of the wildlife at the farm on Gamble Creek; old Florida nature at it’s best! CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.

Years ago we hardly ever had company and didn’t spend much quality time with anyone. We didn’t think we had the time but the reality is that we didn’t really have [...]
Spring Forward
The magic day arrived where we “Spring forward” an hour in time each year. Isn’t it amazing that everyone accepts the change and adjusts to the new way of living? There are no people lagging behind or stuck in the old time “zones”! Unfortunately, sometimes we do lag behind or get stuck in a rut [...]
Christmas
Want the perfect gift? Beginning Thanksgiving day every add on TV, radio, newspaper, Internet, bus, billboard or bench will tell you they have the perfect gift for you to buy. Those advertising and marketing folks are shifty! All the twinkly lights seem to get in your eyes. How can you know who’s telling the truth? [...]
