Well, maybe the beer is a little too much, but this is what you should reward yourself to for Chrismas! I bought three passes in this Chevy 350 rail job a few years back. It was a super treat! When you're almost sitting on the tarmac, everything seems to go much faster. It's a little hot and

A dear friend of mine sent me these photos of the house Elvis Aaron Presley was born in, on January 8, 1935. Do you remember where you were when you first learned of Elvis' death? Of course, that happened 30 years ago, and if you aren't at least 45 years old, you probably won't remember where y

Today was 'Open House' day for the house I showed you on Choctawhatchee Bay. The weather this morning was beautiful, save for a little too much humidity. Then came a few droplets, then the winds, then the torrential downpour. It's just another of those wonderful reasons to live on the northwes

Today has been the foggiest day I can remember. Just one big bowl of soup! It rolled in from the Gulf of Mexico like a big land-born cloud. You could see it coming as a huge, white, soupy wall. I was on my motorcycle and headed toward the main highway, US 98, when I first saw the soupy wall.

Imagine this! You're on 100 feet of the Choctawhatchee Bay in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Your lot is 300 feet deep. That's a football field folks! Your pontoon boat is on at your boat dock, lifted out of the water. It's almost winter, but by this weekend, the weather will be warm enough to t

Southwestern Style Home in Northwest Florida - Entrance to Courtyard. I posted a picture of this home a day or so ago. Many people asked to see more pictures of the home. This one is of the entrance way to the courtyard, actually standing in the courtyard and facing south. This home is a rar

Here is a home I recently listed in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. It is the most unique house I've ever been inside. What you see from the outside is only a teaser; the real excitement is the work inside. This home was built with so much attention to detail that upon every visit, you have the impr
