    When it's once again time for you to settle into a permanent home, I hope you, Katie & (hopefully) Mark too will open up a B&B with a coffee shop/small cafe. I think between the three of you, anything you create would be spectacular given your combined love for beautiful environments, gorgeous but functional vintage & antique items, appreciation for great food, and excellent eye & ear for wonderful entertainment!

    My fav Antiques and Jewery shop is in St. Augustine the lightener museum. Churchill & LaCroix! I miss living in St. Augustine sometimes. But I love how quiet it is where I live now in Lake City on 14 acres Rural. I have to take my garbage to the dump myself! They don’t pick up on a dirt road. What a change for me 7 years here now. 40 plus in Tampa.

    You’re in my stomping grounds! - just a couple of miles from where I live. The Cummer Museum and Gardens is always a favorite. I loathe sea gulls - they make SUCH a mess. One Ocean is a nice hotel - it’s been there, in one iteration or another, for decades (used to be called The Sea Turtle Hotel). Cross pen and pencil sets used to be popular graduation gifts. Rather than ol’ Starbucks, I wish you had patronized Bitty and Beau’s coffee shop in San Marco - a new venture operated by developmentally challenged young adults. You were shopping in touristy places in St. Augustine, but Peterbrooke Chocolatier in Jacksonville is a locally owned family business with the emphasis on quality. St. Augustine is close to my heart - we were married there … 30 years ago. The man on the bridge was probably the bridge tender who opens and closes the bridge as needed.

Too bad the live piano player wasn't there when you went. Jeffrey, I can always count on you to consume coffee, chocolate, spaghetti, gellato, and sweet treats. Katie, I loved the brooch you were wearing but it was covered by your shoulder bag most of the time. You have such pretty brooches, please wear them on your left side so we can enjoy more of them. I am looking forward to your next adventure!

The swimming pool restaurant I've never even heard of although I've been to St. Augustine many times. Have you visited there during the Nights of Lights during the holiday season? A beautiful sight. Jacksonville has some beautiful sights as well and they are never crowded. It's going to be wonderful once the old Riverwalk is replaced. Thanks for featuring the city.

    4:11 The art of Kintsugi is filling cracks with gold. In the Japanese culture (& maybe others) it is about resilience and not just “getting over” something hurtful that happened, but embracing the process of healing spiritual and emotional wounds. We carry these scars but it’s how you look at them that can really affect your life. ❤

    Rats with special skills, that describes them perfectly! Careful when there are a bunch of them, you’ll get pooped on! Something worse than a seagull pooping on your head is a pelican pooping on your head, this I know for a fact 🤭
