  Read A Book Day and Pet Rock Day!                          So many choices, so little time!When I looked up to see what unofficial holiday September 6th would be, I was not surprised about "Read A Book Day." But I did crack up at "Pet Rock Day!" I remember when pet rocks were introduced in 1975. No, I didn't own one or want one. My parents home had a very long gravel driveway, so I didn't need any rocks for pets, had plenty to choose from!In honor of Read A Book Day, I plan on starting with an old favorite, Gone with the Wind. Which of these unofficial holidays will you be celebrating today? 09/05/2015

The Dr. Paul's Dog Park - Coral Springs Fourth in the Series of Broward County Dog Parks Even though we do not have a dog "yet"-- I've been on the lookout for dog parks in our area! We have what I like to refer to as a "postage stamp" backyard, with zero lot lines. For someone that grew up with nearly an acre of land and woods surrounding her home, in my mind this isn't big enough for a dog to roam around. Before I can commit, I need to know what our area has to offer to raise a happy, healthy dog and how convenient it is to where we live. That made me think that other dog owners who are thinking of moving to our area would like to know what Broward County offers for your four legged family member. Our next featured dog park is:  The Dr. Paul's Dog Park in Coral Springs, Florida.  This ... 09/04/2015

   By Hurricane Season, I do not mean the University of Miami Hurricanes! I mean the nasty storms that aim for us each season here on the coast. I'm as guilty as the rest of us when it comes to being prepared for a major storm. Heck, when I look around our house, I'm not to sure we are even prepared for a power outage this year.Knock on wood...it has been quiet and according to NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) predicts a calm 2015 hurricane season for the U.S. That does not mean we are in the clear! It just means that out of the few storms that will develop, only a couple should develop into a major hurricane. And by major, they mean a storm that is a Category 3 or higher. We all have our hurricane stories to tell if you've lived in the path long enough. We also kn... 08/09/2015
