How we got here.....

After the decision between moving to San Diego or Sarasota, we landed in Florida winter 2004, with our big fat money sucking boat that we thought we would live aboard. After 40 years of cement skies in West Michigan, (I still love W. MI) it was time to see what it would be like to have the sun shine almost every single day, eat key lime pie & crab cakes, while sinking our toes in the sand, that was our mission. Now that we have been here for almost 7 years, I wished I would have chosen San Diego. I always change my mind after a major decision, that’s just how I roll. The beaches here are amazing along with the wildlife & nature, the heat is just unbearable for a girl from Michigan, summer seems to be never ending. Where are my seasons? I can only decorate & cook to fill the void, which is the most difficult part, along with missing the family & friends back home. Thank goodness for social networking, it keeps me sane. I love to follow blogs, Stumble upon, Yelp, Food Buzz, Twitter, FB, My Space, Raw Food Rehab, My Free Yoga, etc. Yes I need social network rehab. My passions are cooking, photography, anything with feathers, keeping our earth clean & my life in order while trying to live a pretty healthy lifestyle, although I hate to work out, it’s just too much hard work, thank goodness for the good genes.
