Hunted and Found in Bonita Springs Florida
Recently, I took a cruise down Hickory Blvd., swooped into Kings Kew and found the most impressive mailbox flower.  Long story, short: I posted the flower image on Flickr and was told it was a Passiflora, a Passion Flower.  It bubbled for a few weeks until last Sunday [...]

More to Look Forward to in Olde Bonita
If you didn’t know, the town of Bonita Springs was once named Survey, back in the day.  I believe it was named Survey because the engineering crews who originally surveyed land of south Florida were stationed here.    I guess when the Nelson’s were thinking of a name for [...]

LBD Does The Runway
This is your tripped out version of an Abercrombie add.  It involves a hot piece of pocket pup in a powerder blue hoodie; all for the paws … I mean cause.  It is taken in black and white for drama.  Well, do you feel the drama?
It had to be LBD’s turn, nearly [...]

Want some? They’re on Old 41 Road in Bonita Springs, Florida

I’m a Sucker For Dogs
The Susan Komen 5K run will be coming up in March and I am not remotely ready.  I must first try to push the plate away or put the fork down.  Oink.  Next, I need to actually run.  Uhg.
Having been under the weather for many weeks I just started putting the [...]

The Prettiest Peppers in Bonita Springs Florida
What if that childhood rhyme: “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers” was really “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Purple Peppers.”
That was the first thought I had when I saw these purple peppers at Farmer Mikes in Bonita Springs, Florida.  They were so pretty. I tasted them [...]

Farmer Mike’s Is O-P-E-N
Last week I learned that Farmer Mike’s traditionally opens the day after the Taste of Bonita festival.  Since I was involved in the Taste of Bonita as a member of Rotary I was at the festival.  My daughter brought me a bowl of fresh vegetables from Farmer Mike’s booth as my lunch.
You [...]

Catch a Game & a Pizza at Johnny’s
For the first time in a good long while I stayed up past my bedtime.  I went to an event with friends and afterward someone suggested that we head to Johnny Malloy’s for a bite to eat.  It was probably 9:00 p.m. when we got there, which was [...]

Found Old Bonita Springs, By Surprise
A few weeks ago I stopped by a yard sale in the name streets of Bonita Springs.  The name streets are in Old Bonita Springs, as in where the older charming homes are with character.  The streets were all named after founding fathers and developers of our city.  Goodwin, [...]

Rail Head Cafe
Recently when “my” Albertson’s Grocery store closed I was not only saddened but left without a local, handy grocery store. Today, I swooped into the Albertson’s on the corner of Bonita Beach Road and Livingston Road to pick up some shrimp to make stir fry with “Japanese Secret Sauce”.

FYI: It turns out [...]

The Gorton’s Fisherman
Yes, it’s true, the Gorton’s Fisherman lives on Hickory Blvd. on Bonita Beach.  He’s a couple of doors down from the Mermaid Mailbox.  It’s been a spell since I’ve taken this photo.  It’s been a while since I’ve even been able to post something on the blog.  I’ve been a hostage.
The good news [...]

Bonita Springs is Gonna Get Ripped
If you’re like me and you’re tired of choking on bugs while you’re riding your bike or running there is salvation behind those doors. LA Fitness opened last Friday and I’m wearing out the treadmills, not choking on gnats and enjoying seeing a whole bunch of friendly faces from [...]
