Tim and I are always looking for a fun activity or a new place to explore. We’re part of Facebook groups and follow many of the channels that promote fun things to do. Lately, the Bulls Bay Preserve and Waterfall have been showing up in both of our feeds. When time allows, our typical go-to is one of the nearby beaches. We’ve been wanting to get back into hiking and mountain biking, and this trail definitely had us intrigued. It’s located inside the city of Jacksonville, FL, and somehow it has flown under our radar all of this time, with this “secret” waterfall and natural beauty, offering a peaceful, uncrowded spot.

I have always loved being a steak eater. So who doesn’t? From when I was a kid, I liked steak. Not pizza, not chips, not candy, not as much as steak… and lots of it. As I have aged, I have tried to have as much steak as I could in my life, as much as the budget allowed. As adults, Faith and I try to have steak at least twice a month, and if you have spent any time on our website reading the stuff we’re cooking, a lot of our meals are centered around steak. I saw something on the internet about marinated an amazing cut of meat in honey . Then one day, I was talking meat with a buddy and I mentioned honey steaks. My buddy said he did that all the time, and I really should try honey steaks.

Your comeback will always trump your worst setback. In 2017, I was 41, a newfound bachelor, in poor health, addicted to tobacco, and drinking way more alcohol than I should’ve. My first marriage had come to an end, and I felt I had been thrown away. This post isn’t about the details of my first marriage or even the “if I had only…” kind of relationship advice. But simply to indicate a starting point for the positive changes, I used for my comeback.

Urban farming offers countless benefits: access to fresh, organic produce, reduced carbon footprints, and stronger community ties. In cities where green spaces are scarce, growing your own food can improve mental health, lower grocery bills, and contribute to food security. Plus, it’s a chance to reconnect with nature, even amidst skyscrapers.
The story of the St. Augustine Lighthouse begins long before the recognizable black-and-white spiral tower was built. The site’s origins date back to the late 16th century, when Spanish settlers erected wooden watchtowers on Anastasia Island to keep an eye on enemy ships. By 1737, a more formidable coquina stone tower replaced those first fragile structures, serving as a beacon to seafarers and, according to records, possibly the first “lighthouse” in North America. After Florida became a U.S. territory, the U.S. government formalized its role as a lighthouse in 1824, fitting the old tower with new lamps and reflectors.
