We Love a Parade: Celebrating 1 Year in Florida

One of the first events we attended after our arrival in Apalachicola in October 2022 was the annual seafood festival parade. I have always been a fan of parades, but folks in the Florida Panhandle really know how to parade.

Our Drone Saga

For months, Bird has been terrified of drones. If we see one, she talks about it for days. If she thinks she hears one, she stops in her tracks. So, clearly, we have kept ours tucked far away lest she sees the case and gets scared. However, over the past week or so, she’s beenContinue reading “Our Drone Saga”
