January 1, 2013, 16:07 CST, Navarre Beach, Florida This afternoon, after several fairly gloomy and overcast days, the sun broke through the lingering storm clouds and peered its head around to say hello.

A Midnight Surprise, Beach Style
January 1, 2014, 12:05 CST, Navarre Beach, Florida Last night was the best New Year's Eve I have ever had. We spent the evening in the condo, for the most part, watching TV and having a few drinks of wine and beer. I cooked dinner, and we waited impatiently for midnight. I was so nervous, …

French Press Coffee and the Ocean
December 30, 2013, 09:52 CAT There is absolutely nothing I like more than a good freshly brewed French Press coffee, some chocolate breakfast biscuits, and the sunrise on the ocean.

Ahhh Oceanside
Today I am sitting on the beach just off the Strand in Oceanside, California. This town, where we have been once before, is one of if not my very most favorite place on the planet. We have traveled near and far, to ten or so different countries and over 35 states, and I still dream …
