A New Adventure – The Wing Crawl

I was out to take paddle board pictures of my wife and my buddy, Andy. Arriving in typical FloridaHillbilly style (late), I only got there in time to see the boards loaded back up. Ah well. Hanging out turned into an offer to go get some lunch to catch up with my friend. Knowing I […]

Lots of things are happening here at FloridaHillbilly.com! Just as I’m out of the woods from my hernia surgery, I get a nasty bout of kidney stones, and dealing with another one as I write this

It takes all kinds

America was once referred to as “The Great American Melting Pot”, something I was reminded every Saturday as a kid.
