With everyone seated, Norman began his tale: “Seven years ago, Frinty, Mugber and I landed here by the Eastern edge of the Southern tip of the black sea. We thought we were going to land on the moon, but as soon as we stepped from the spacewaffle door, it was evident that we hadn’t. I must admit, I was enchanted with the strange scenery, so new to me and wonderful in its newness. I had Read more…
This morning we went to Disney Springs. We walked around, took some pictures, had a snack, ran around in the splash pad and came back home. Enjoy!
Last Thursday we went to the “Golden Corral”, what we affectionately call an “all-you-can-eat Stuffet”. It was both a late celebration of our arrival in Florida and a treat because most of us haven’t been in a restaurant in more than a year, and Truett never has!

Immediately upon their return, Frinty and Mugber petitioned the space company to send them back with a team to fight the terrifying pancakes and avenge the brave young waffle, Norman Waffle. Unfortunately, the space company had lost all their research and no longer knew how to build space machines. They said they would try to aid Frinty and Mugber’s intentions but that they had to start from square one, and it would take years to Read more…
We’ve settled into somewhat of a rhythm over the last three weeks. Sunny and Tobin have taken to long early morning walks together (up to two hours every day!). They came home the other day with the intention to begin picking up the trash they passed on their walks. They now go out in the mornings with a garbage bag and fill it by the time they come home… making Florida a little more beautiful Read more…
