Crouched for a hop
With a mind full of happy memories and clear path in front of me, I bid sunny Florida and all of It’s beautiful people, adieu. I am already looking forward to our next meeting! Next stop Crystal Lake… Via Grand Rapids of course!
Ormond Beach hideaway
This week’s office in Ormond Beach… Cool Atlantic ocean breeze every day and night… Homemade cider on tap and always something delicious and healthy simmering in cast iron… And yes that is a whole cedar tree being slowly chipped away and burned… Not a bad spot to hang my hat before heading north. Thanks for the hospitality, Neal.

Nap on the beach
Laying with the sun on my feet, the south wind on my chest, and salt on my lips…. Ah key west….
Birthday Sunset
Ah key west………
Wednesday Night Dinner
After a two year hiatus, the much anticipated Wednesday Night Dinner has finally been resurrected for a one night only special event. For years, Barb hosted a potluck / block party / gathering of loved ones that quickly became a midweek staple and, dare I say, crutch for the Daytona area crème de la crème. The scene was always a… Read more →
Dunes
Sunset at Smyrna Dunes… Hard to find the sunset on the east side, but this is a nice spot if you’re up for a walk…
