Wolf Goes Back to Work (sort of)

This past weekend, GPA Central Florida had a presence at the Cocoa Village fall craft fair. This was a great opportunity to educate people about this fantastic breed and to raise some funds. Brianna and Wolfie have been going to meet and greets in Titusville, but this was their first big event. I'm not sure who had a better time, Wolf or Brie. I suspect it was just about even as Wolf received lots of pets and Brie we able to show off her baby and talk to many people about greyhounds.

Time for a boycott on NIKE?

Michael Vick is getting a big endorsement deal with NIKE.
Look-- I know he served his time.
He's working again as a football player.
OK. He served his time. Let him work.

But holding him up (so soon) as a role model--

I'm sorry. I just can't buy that.

Call, email, or write NIKE and let them know you if you are as unhappy as we are.

Loc Ness Monster Vacations in Florida??

Hey-- if COULD happen.

Check it out.

New and Exciting Places

One of the good things about being in a new location is scoping out all the new places to shop and eat. We like to stick to locally owned places whenever economically feasible, but especially when dining out. One of our new favorite haunts is Steve Family Diner right on Route 1 (South Washington) in Titusville. They don't have a website (yet). Their onion rings are some of the best we have ever tasted. Their coleslaw is made in house and is excellent. Most of their fish entrees are fresh, not frozen. Many homemade daily specials. We have not yet tried their fried chicken, but we have been told that it is out of this world delicious. This too is freshly hand battered (not frozen) and fried to order. The portions are all quite generous.

The other day we went in for lunch and were treated to a small slice of baklava cheesecake which was made that morning by the owners wife. All I can say is, OMG! To die for!

Our First Grind

Since moving to Florida the first of July, we lost our supplier of fresh ground raw chicken. So, we bought a small meat grinder and did it ourselves.
