Make A Resolution to Visit Ft. De Soto Park
2010 is here and we are halfway through the first month of the New Year! Many people take the opportunity to utter (often under their breath) a commitment to a New Year’s resolution. Getting more exercise is often at the top of the list, and there is no easier way to keep a commitment to getting more exercise than participating in any one of a number of fun activities at Ft. De Soto Park in Tierra Verde, FL. Whether you enjoy hiking, jogging, skating, kite boarding, surfing, swimmin...

Giving Thanks . . . SPYC Christmas Boutique
Thanksgiving is the perfect time to extend a heartfelt thank you to residents, businesses, and organizations throughout Pinellas County for their commitment to charitable events and activities during the holiday season and year-round. Expressed in donations of time, the sharing of life experiences, and funding support, this commitment defines the meaning of volunteerism and the spirit of community giving. On Thanksgiving Day, it’s a tradition in my family to give thanks, while sta...

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...

Musical History Tour of Tierra Verde
Roll up . . . roll up for the musical history tour! Okay . . . I’m having fun with lyrics from a contemporary (Beatles) song. The music and history associated with Tierra Verde warrants it. Tierra Verde, an island community situated at the southernmost tip of Pinellas County, has hosted many historical and colorful characters throughout the years. Anyone who has enjoyed listening to Guy Lombardo and The Royal Canadians should get a kick out of the following musical lore and historical...

Botanical Gardens, Butterflies, Eagles, and Sea Turtles
Botanical Gardens, Butterflies, Eagles, and Sea Turtles As our state’s name implies, Florida is synonymous with flora and fauna. In Pinellas County, summer has arrived! Mother Nature is relishing the season. Bird of Paradise, Blue Daze, Bougainvillea, Jasmine, Crape Myrtle, Verbena, and perennial Oleander and Hibiscus, are in bloom in a bevy of enchanting colors. The names of native flowering plants hint at the magic of this special time of year-Beach Sunflower, Golden Dew Drop, Su...

Thinking About Parades . . . And Sparklers . . .
I am counting the days to one of my favorite holidays : Independence Day! Fourth of July brings neighborhood parades, including one pictured here (from 2008) in Tierra Verde, picnics, and fun! Nothing beats a picnic at one of our area’s parks for this holiday! My husband and I load a cooler, gather our beach towels, and put our dog, Moby, on his leash for a day of fun at Ft. DeSoto Park. After being greeted by the huge U.S. Flag that waves majestically atop a flagpole near the Park’s...
