Time to make some changes to the blog.  Hopefully you’ll think that they are for the better.  If not, let me know.  I’m always open to new ideas.

In Sunday’s Citrus Chronicle, publisher Gerry Mulligan’s column was “Enjoy County like a Tourist”. He highlighted several places in our own back yard that residents should visit. While Terry and I have hit most of the listed attractions, the article has inspired us to revisit those plus experience the few we missed. We really do appreciate all the great opportunities we have here in Citrus County.

Therefore on Tuesdays I will be highlighting our local attractions and people. I’ll be posting about our stops at all the places Mr. Mulligan listed plus add our own discoveries and put the links in our new menu tab Local Places, Local Faces.  I may venture out of Citrus County on these trips but they’ll usually be somewhere on the Nature Coast.

Thursday is our Travel Dog Blog, also a new menu tab. This week will feature one of the places that Mr. Mulligan listed in his article.

Michelle will continue posting her great recipes, DIY, decorating or whatever else she feels like writing about on Wednesday.

And I’ll continue erratically posting “Dogs in the Hood”, silly websites I’ve discovered, countdowns to events, DIY projects I’ve bungled and food I’ve burnt—just my typical meanderings!

I’ve always been all about change is GOOD!

And here’s a photo to start out your week!

Nature Delivered Farm

My niece Rebecca, owner of Nature Delivered Farm in Brooksville, was recently notified that pork from her farm was selected by the Ritz-carlton culinary team to be served at The James Beard House, NYC.  Pretty Cool!

And here’s some happy pigs to brighten up your Friday!

And now the beginning of the new year….

I’m always excited about a new year.  So many possiblities.  I don’t make resolutions but I do have goals.

Around the house, Terry and I will be finishing the very final step of updating our kitchen.  We’ve been reno-ing it in stages since we moved in.  The last step is new backsplash on the walls and refinishing the original cabinets.  We’ve hired contractors to do the rest of the work, but Terry and I are going to do this on our own.

Also planning to put doors on the dining room/den/guest bedroom.  We’ve been talking about doing this for several years and will get it done this year.

Some easy changes–like paint.  The walls are beginning to show all the parties and wee hands that have been through the last 9 years.

And outside of the house improvements, there’s a big wedding in April. More fun with friends and family.  Still need to come up with a catchy name.  Been trying out different ones. Hey Jes, how about JAnjo–like rhymes with banjo.  Which I’m going to learn this year and join a bluegrass band.  And then run away to the circus.  I hear you doubters out there.

We’ll also continue our travels by air and by road.

So much to look forward to.

Happy New Year!
