This is why I love South Florida!

How many places are there where you can walk out your front door and see a flock of ibises flying down the street? There is nothing like it! South Florida has so much to offer. Great weather and great sites--natural highs. I love this place!

Please--No Hurricanes!

I am praying that South Florida doesn't have any hurricanes this year. I am so thankful Hurricane Dean is on its way past us--but I don't want it to hit anyone else either. It would be devastating for it to slam Texas or New Orleans, as well as Central America. I don't feel like I could handle a hurricane right now--I've had several other pressures to deal with. In addition, ever since Hurricane Wilma hit down here two years, insurance rates went sky high. That, along with the mortgage issues, has made it hard for people to sell their houses. And, then, when it comes to protection, I only have wind resistant film on my windows--no shutters. So I am a little nervous about that. One good thing, however, is that I have a new roof--so I know that won't fly off. But I really don't want to go through a hurricane to know that for sure!
