The lights. The damn piece-of-crap florescent kitchen lights. These lights have taunted me since the day we moved in. That was 11 years ago. It’s not even the lights that make me crazy. It’s the 80s bendy plastic that covered the P.O.S. lights. Basically, everything in the kitchen looked yellow. It was the worst place…

I think it’s safe to say 2015 was a summer of adventure for the Cook Family. The summer started with us kayaking our way through the canals of Marco Island, and ended with us floating down a river on the Cherokee Indian Reservation.

The sound of bagpipes, the smell of beer and men in kilts – it’s the 38th annual Central Florida Scottish Highland Games! The games were held his past weekend in Central Winds Park in Winter Springs. I’m really sad that it has taken me over 16 years of living in Florida to attend!!! Why have…
I hope you are all having a fabulous 2015! My new year started off on an amazing note. I hope that means this year has nothing but great things ahead! Typically, our New Year’s consists of my husband working and me at my in-laws watching their neighbors blow up anything they can find. But that’s…
December 2014 in Chicago.
What a long, strange trip it’s been. The first time I met Joe Clark was at the retirement party of Scott Harris. Harris was an Orlando news-icon who, shortly after his “retirement”, died of cancer. I met Joe and was instantly drawn in. We talked briefly about Jimmy Johns and our mutual love of NASCAR…
