The Tale of the Bee Bees

Getting On With "It"!

Mired In The Florida Sand Yep, that’s me. Self-mired for the last few years in Central Florida. I have felt like I drove up from Delray Beach, got my “tires” stuck in the sand, and here I sit! Before the move, I felt that I was so close to success, both Rob and I hadContinue reading “Getting On With "It"!”
