Sandra and I headed to Orange County. Her for a conference. Me for a haircut at Jim’s Barber Shop. Unfortunately for me, Jim’s ill and his shears are taking a break, too.
That gave me time I didn’t expect, so I hit the bookstores. Picked up lots of goodies. Below are the best covers. All books […]

Though less than what was once there, the Linger Lodge can […]

We made a trip to White Springs so that Sandra could drop off a ton of materials for the upcoming hiking festival and to test a hike she will be leading a “V.I.P.” group on Saturday. The test was to see how much of the trail was passable due to recent high water levels of […]
