Monday 02/22/16 We will be back in Fernandina tomorrow. The thought after these almost 6 weeks of travel made me lay awake for a long time last night. Besides my wonderful friends and family, who I love dearly, there is nothing else pulling me back and nothing that I miss.  Is that weird?

Luzianne, Going a Bit More Inland

From Rowdy to Rest, we love both in the right measures. Got up this morning to the smell of breakfast. Brian was a busy bee in the kitchen. My plate was laden down with eggs, bacon and toast. This vegetarian was sorely tempted to eat the bacon because it smelled “oh so good” but I …
