Veterans of Tierra Verde
As a military veteran (U.S. Army & Army Reserves) and proud member of Veterans of Tierra Verde, I pause, as I do every year, on the occasion of Veterans Day, to remember the brave men and women who serve in and support our nation’s Armed Forces. Honoring the service of active duty military personnel, their sacrifice and that of their family members, as well as remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our country, are the reasons why we celebrate this day of... -

Tierra Verde Community Garage Sale
In April 2009, I participated in organizing the Tierra Verde Island Wide Garage Sale. The event, which began in November 2008, was hosted by The Island Reporter, a South Gulf Beaches community newspaper. The April sale, as the November one, was a big hit with island residents and “garage sailors” (as I refer to weekend bargain hunters). My husband and I challenged ourselves to stop at each and every sale. We visited more than 150 of them! The photos accompanying this post wer...
