Recently, my oldest brother and his wife flew into town from Southern California to visit us. They got to experience a lot of S. Florida…Juno Beach, guided largemouth bass fishing, Fresh Market, Guanabanas, DuBois lagoon, Jupiter Lighthouse, Piccolo Gelato on Worth Ave., and baseball with fireworks on the 4th at Roger Dean Stadium…we made lots…

Two days ago, I got a text from my wife reporting to me that the A/C was out of commission, and it was hotter than a pepper sprout in the house. I sent one of my sons home from work to fix the problem by pouring white vinegar down the doo-hickey thing and shop vac…

Last night, my son and I were invited over to a friend’s house for a homemade, spaghetti and meatball, GF Italian dinner. BTW…It was unbelievably delicious! As we were conversing around the table, we got on the subject of our recent family trip to Tennessee. I told them I discovered a new favorite pit stop…

Early this morning around 3:30am we embarked on a journey to visit some friends in Tennessee while taking the kids on a homeschool field trip to visit some Civil War sites.

Yesterday morning my wife and 15 year old daughter left the house to attend a women’s conference in Venice, Fl for two days. So yesterday after work I thought it would be fun to take the kids out to do some salt water fishing. They jumped at the opportunity, especially when I told them that…

The other day I let our dog, Calli, out in the backyard to relieve herself and as I looked over into our neighbor’s yard I noticed their fruit tree was teeming with countless baby green mango buds. I love fruit trees and I think having tons of them on your property is a most excellent…

One of my favorite things to do with the kids is to take them fishing in the neighborhood pond. I think we are the only ones in our community that go fishing so there are plenty of fish to be hooked. Last Saturday was one of the best fishing days we have ever had. Just…

This past weekend I went on a camping trip with 5 of my kids with a group of families from our church. My 11 year old son had been begging me for weeks to go on this adventure and I was dragging my feet on it because of stories and rumors I’ve heard from other…
