Moving South? Leaving the cold winter weather behind? You might want to consider bringing your houseplants with you. Chances are, they will grow happily outdoors and adorn your home in the Sunshine State.

We had been keeping this date in our calendar for weeks as we were excited to see Henscratch Farms re-open after their summer break - and we were not the only ones. We counted hundreds of cars in the parking lot and more entering as we made our way through the vineyard to hit our first destination - Henscratch's Country Store. You will find delicious home made jellies, sauces, salsas amongst scores of Scuppernong country wine.  I highly recommend the "Country Blush", a light semi-sweet rose that finishes very smooth.Visitors enjoyed burgers or hot dogs with chips while listening to bluegrass tunes performed by "The Front Porch Pickers" on, you guessed it, a front porch!  We opted for delicous strawberry shakes with big strawberry chucks swirled with delicous vanilla ice cream. What a de... 08/01/2009

I wanted to let everyone know that Debbie and I took a little time to fly up to our Family Reunion these past few days in North Carolina from the 3rd to the 5th. Food, fun and relaxation. We captured some good videos of the fun we had. Take a peak and see where the Zorro of Real Estate's decedents came from and what he was doing on his days off. We had great food, played some games and took long walks around the 100 acre property. Take a look at some of the delicious food those North Carolina great cooks serve and don't forget about the awesome deserts. You must remember to take time off from what ever you are doing to enjoy the real meaning in life and that is to have great relationships with family and friends.

For the last couple of weeks, I've been driving by a caladium road side stand every morning on my way to work and it reminded me of when I was a little girl in Germany and my Mom's favorite house plant was a vividly colored caladium. In Germany, due to the climate, they can only be grown indoors. Here in Florida, they grow adorn front yards! Oh, I know my Mom would love that! I live in Avon Park, 30 minutes north of The Caladium Capital of the World - Lake Placid, where 98% of caladiums are coming from. I visited the Annual Caladium Festival in Lake Placid last year and had a blast. Not only do you get to pick and choose from an endless variety of caladiums offered for sale, you can sample mouthwatering foods and refreshments, take a bus tour to the caladium fields (don't forget your ca... 07/11/2008
