Fun with Kristin Harmel and Mary Kay Andrews Last summer, during the 2020 Covid madness, I was desperate for something to read. I was pregnant, jobless, and sitting at home avoiding the Florida heat. Days took hours and minutes and seconds to slowly drip by. Books turned out to be one of the life rafts […]
Yesterday was an amazing, beautiful sunny day. My husband and I drove to Fernandina to spend a couple hours sailing Miss Connie’s Misadventures. Captain Terry got the sails hoisted up and ready to take on the mild, gusty wind. Gorgeous white and blue triangles filled my vision and I reclined in the front of the […]
Welcome to the World of Free Feasting. The Venue: The Brand New First Watch in Brooklyn Riverside. The occasion. A pre-opening Elite event. I received my nomination and acceptance to the Elite Yelpee world last year. After making sure I had plenty of reviews left, the fearless Matthew C, who runs the Jacksonville Elite squad, […]
While I had been to the Riverside Arts Market, a popular Jacksonville weekend activity, 3 different times, I had never stopped by the museum that is right next to the bridge. I saw pretty signs, a manicured lawn area and a large building, I hadn’t taken the time to visit. Isn’t it funny how we […]

I had my roomie with me and we were ready for an adventure. So why not? People in Jax had been talking about it for months. It’s happening. It’s coming. The […]
From the first second of stumbling into the smelly room to grab oars and life jackets with other confused newbies to the moment I put a medal around my neck, the Jacksonville Dragon Boat event was an unforgettable adventure. It’s not exactly a Viking thing. Let’s start by explaining how the races work – beginning […]
Mall culture has been in rapid decline since “Clueless” era shopping sprees were in fashion. That hasn’t stopped me from finding a home away from home, an escape away from reality and a place to feed the buying fever. Malls can be fantastic places. That Time We Played Mall Madness A Jacksonville native once told […]
Today is a sad day. Bittersweet to be precise. This is my brief ode to Riverside. My friend Irene is saying goodbye to the 220 Riverside life. She keeps staring at her view and telling us how much she loves the area. The 220 life is her gorgeous high-rise in Riverside, with a view of […]
I had to get some classy pajamas to get through this corona stuck at home craze.
