The house is located in North Port, about 1.5 hours south of Tampa. We are 20 minutes from the gulf, so when the latest oil company boondoggle finally gets here, we will have to scoot over to the other ocean if we want to be shark bait. We are very willing to put up with all the bugs and heat and weather as long as we can be closer to family. We managed to visit all 8 of our grandkids on our transcontinental drive this month.

I don't know what the music community is like around here yet, but I plan to weasel my way into their hearts before too long. I'm already working on a couple of new songs. Now that I no longer punch a time clock, I plan to get back into writing and performing. Life is good, lovebugs, rain squalls, oil spills and all.
