One of our favorite Sunday outings is going to breakfast. For some reason, sitting in a quaint little cafe or bistro, sipping on a good cup of coffee and leisurely eating our way through a bountiful plate of eggs cooked to perfection, slightly buttered toast, spicy sausage and creamy grits just does something for us. Perhaps there is an omelet to be had or a hearty dish of biscuits and sausage gravy. English muffins topped with scrambled eggs, avocado, bacon and queso served with a side of roasted potatoes? We're there. ...more

Sitting here on this New Year's Eve morning it's early for me at 7 a.m., usually I have a cup of coffee and read the newspaper from my sitting area overlooking beautiful Lake Istokpoga and watching the birds and wildlife as the beautiful sunrise illuminates the woods. We who live on this lake do so because we choose to and are willing to deal with the bugs and the low water, high taxes and all the downsides that no one has control over. Last night I went to bed at 10:30 p.m. with the noise of airboats thumping and humming past the house until late into the night and waking me at 6:15 a.m. this morning. Having friends with airboats and enjoyed them myself years ago, I understand the fun and excitement they are to a lot of people, and feel that this being a big lake can be enjoyed by all the people if we all use it responsibly. ...more
