This is what love looks like.

Buying Publix out of your wife’s favorite fizzy water because it’s a hard to find flavor and is on B2G2 sale!

We hopped on this trend. What do you think?

The AI image generator did a pretty good job for us. Couple of things not quite right, but overall not bad!

What’s the place you love to have lunch? For us, it’s Mission BBQ . Consistently delicious and a company that supports our veterans. This location is near our winter spot and it’s our first time visiting this winter.

Check out that loaded baked potato!! YUM!

We got a spider plant from our friend Kerrie in August. We’ve named it Parker. Today, Parker got new soil. She has grown a LOT since August!

Pick Your Own Citrus at Dooley Groves Near Tampa

January 20, 2026

While visiting Kate’s aunt and uncle near Tampa, she and her uncle went to pick citrus at Dooley Groves . What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! Honeybells and red grapefruit were ripe in the orchards, but they also came home with a couple pomelos (Kate’s favorite), sweet oranges, and Ponderosa Lemons . The Ponderosa lemons were HUGE! Kate made a 1/2 gallon of lemonade with just one lemon!

Cleaning Day: Van Wash and Family Driveway Projects

We washed the van, did a few projects around the house, and helped our family pressure wash their driveway! (Photo is part way through)

We have really lucked out on our trek south

January 2, 2026

This is the second HUGE site we’ve had. We stayed here for two nights and visited with some friends while in Fellsmere. This pull through site was about 90 feet long and maybe 30-35 feet wide. We could have easily stayed here all winter long. The park is just off I-95 (so there is some highway noise) and is a newer, gated park. The pad is crushed shell/coral. The site was level and the utilities worked well.
