Florida's Mystery and History!

Lake Okeechobee was hit by a massive Hurricane in 1928 Lake Okeechobee is the second largest body of fresh water in the United States.  It covers 735 square miles!   But, did you also know it is HAUNTED?   Read on........... Back in the early 1900's a scary sight could be seen at the south end of the Lake Okeechobee, a massive amount of skeletons... piled in a watery grave!  The skeletons are not able to be seen today, but when fishermen in the early 1900's came across them.. they got the fright of their life.  Fishing tales around the lake were tales of "catchin' skulls".  It is believed that the massive watery grave is the remains of Seminole Indians, due to their struggles with disease and war.  Others believe they are the remains of an ancient tribe that inhabited Florida prior to the Seminole of the 1700's.  Whatever they are, I am sure they are adding to the many paranormal sightings and reportings throughout the years.   Also, adding t

Do you have a Wine time or a "Whine" time?

With the crazy days of juggling family life, work life, relationship time, caring for the pets, and responding to the endless emails, texts and phone calls.............. the non stop connection to the world can make one go a little "wacko"...  I personally prefer to wine.   I find my happy place to be my back patio with a glass of wine....... no phone or laptop in sight........ just watching the birds and hanging with my cats.   When I get a little overwhelmed....... I just step away.  It is safer for everyone that I put myself into time-out!

Or you might be the "Rationalizer"......... you tell yourself this will pas

Snowmageddon for the Northerner's........ again...#sorrynotsorry ....

I heard on the news today that the upper East Coast is going to get another dose of SNOWMAGEDDON! I almost feel bad for them.... almost.  After years of digging out of the snow, school days, downed power lines, no electricity..... and of course the worst of punishments.... no cable...... I made the decision to join the love of my life in sunny Florida.  I hear from people around town this time of year, the reason our population almost triples is due to the snow fall up north.  I don't complain about the additional community members because they add to our local economy by patronizing our tiki bars, restaurants, hotels and my favorite..... buying vacation homes.   Might I propose purchasing a home in Florida and enjoy our sunshine, beaches and water activities 24/7 and 365 days out of the year.  Just think, no State Taxes!  After living in Maryland myself..... I can appreciate that!   So... come on down... defrost a little........ enjoy the sunshine...... find a tre
