Media From the Heart by Ruth Hill

  I know this is pretty sad that I have never heard of this place.  After all, I lived in Florida for around six years, or so.  Then again, St. Augustine was a place I never visited–always planned to, but never did.  I lived in the Orland/Tampa Bay area.  On this date in 1938, Marine Studios (the first oceanarium) opened […]

I Like Everything About You is a […]

Her mother’s mysterious goodbye gift is filled with quilt blocks that bring comfort to Beth during the hard days and lonely nights, but […]
