I love to watch the House Hunters International show on HGTV.  You know the one, where a couple from the USA wants to find their perfect second home in some country far away.  It is interesting to watch them look at all of their possibilities and I have a good time, as I'm sure you do, too, trying to guess which home they will ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Just wanted to take a few minutes to share the fun that was had this past Saturday in downtown Marianna.  The festival and bedrace were a huge success.  Lots of folks turned out even though rain threatened.  The bedrace was loads of fun with the REALTORS coming in second place and winning the spirit ...

I went for a ride today up to Graceville and then west on Highway 2.  This is a beautiful area that just typifies true country living.  Large stretches of farm land with houses far apart, a small corner store, and hardly any traffic made this a most pleasant outing.  I pulled off the road at one point, got out and just ...

The long anticipated Panama City/Bay County International Airport got a big boost recently.  The Airport Authority announced that it would construct a 10,000 foot main runway at the new airport being built in West Bay.  The runway was originally designed to be 8,400 feet but will not only be longer, but thicker with centerline ...

Just south of Chipley is a little town called Wausau.  I stopped to take a picture of this unusual brick pattern on this old building.  It reminds me of a handmade quilt produced through many hours of hard work and love.  You never know what you will find here in the Real Florida.
