Chris Daughtry came out to give a concert performance at Busch Gardens Tampa’s “Food and Wine Festival” on Saturday, April 25, 2015. I of course, knew him from American Idol all those seasons ago and liked the songs on the radio, but I didn’t really know more than that. I was really curious how he…

Ginger Turns Two!
My little orange fuzzbutt, Ginger – aka FLÖÖF – turns a whopping two years old today!! I just love my fluffy girl and she brings so much to my life with her silly antics and oh so orange self. I’m so thankful that she came into my life! Who knew this little ball of orange…
Sarah McLachlan Clearwater Florida
I was so excited last November when I heard Sarah McLachlan was coming back to the Tampa Bay Area – after nearly a decade absence! Even better, she was going to perform at Ruth Eckerd Hall. A wonderful, acoustically beautiful theater that seats just under 2,200 people. The last time I saw her was at…
Excuse me, have you seen 2014 around here anywhere?
So…um, this is awkward. I’ve been meaning to write an entry for awhile now and it looks like it’s been more than two months since I last did. Whoops. And here we are not only in 2015, but midway through the second month of 2015. Yeah sorry about that. I did get around to making…
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween from the FLÖÖF! (No kitties were harmed in the making of my fluffy orange cat wearing a witch hat. She was highly annoyed but not injured! LOL)
Afternoon at Honeymoon Island
Love and I went down to Honeymoon Island State Park Saturday afternoon. I hadn’t been down there in years and years and the weekend before, it poured so we our idea of heading over that way got rained out. Located just off the mainland cost of Dunedin and north of Clearwater Beach, Honeymoon Island is…
We’ve Gone Rogue
As you may have read previously, Love was in a serious car accident the morning of Friday, August 1st on his way to work. He had a sudden, catastrophic brake failure and, unable to stop or swerve enough, he collided with the minivan in front of him at about 40-45mph. He came out of the…
The Day the Element Died
First off: Love is ok. The car, however is dead. It’s been a fucking morning from hell. My phone rang at 7am. I had been asleep 4 hours. It was my guy in a shaky voice telling me he was in an accident. I threw clothes on and drove to his work. (About 30 minutes…

Birthday Girl!
Today is my 37th birthday! 🙂 Weeeeeeeee! My Mom had this tradition when I was little where she’d have me stand next to my cherry tree and hold a sign each year on my birthday. Here’s me in 1980 on my 3rd birthday: And here’s me last week. (I was having a good hair and…
Hooray for May!
I can’t believe that (1) it’s May already and that (2) that means it’s also now less than two weeks until my birthday!! Eek! I’ll be a whopping 37 come May 16th. 😉 Meanwhile, today is the so-called, “Star Wars Day” (May the 4th be with you!) and Love and I spent the afternoon out…
Happy 1st Birthday Ginger
Last May, my Mom was out walking her dog when she spotted a tiny orange kitten on the side of a busy road in a canal. She caught the kitten and took it to the vet. It was healthy except for some (intestinal parasites which are common in outside cats) and she needed a foster…

Ginger
Those of you who follow my facebook page already saw this picture of kitten Ginger, but it’s such a nice shot, I wanted to share it here too. She’s 9 months old as of January 1st and such a beauty I call her my “show cat.” 😉 I was taking jewelry photos and had my…
