With the sound track of Frank Sinatra singing “My Way” in the back ground I regretfully share with my public that I will no longer be responding to unsigned emails or no ID callers.

It was about this time last year that I was harassed and badgered into switching to my own self hosted blog.  Apparently, there were a few people that felt I had potential and thought that I should get my big girl URL, www.LifeInBonitaSprings.com.  I promptly named her Betty and started typing.  Three keyboards and now [...]

I’ve watched these rabbits for months.  I don’t know how they got there or if they’re just left over from Easter.  I think they’re cute looking over the driveway.  They must be cheaper than a surveillance camera. Meet Millie, Jeff and Stach

I’m sensing a pattern here. I get this tingly “Haley Joel Osmet” feeling everytime I turned around this weekend and saw something like this.  (imagine the sound that come in the dramatic chipmunk video because that’s what I hear).  I know they’re eating bugs and stuff but for crying out loud, they’re at my every [...]
