We're all about Sanford Florida!
Fort Mellon Park in Sanford has one of the most beautiful settings, right by Lake Monroe. This is a great location for kids and the perfect spot on a hot summer day thanks to the Splash Pad. There is also a large playground, making this a very entertaining spot for the little ones. Be sure [...]
The Bettye D. Smith Cultural Arts Center is located on 5th Street in the historic district of Sanford. This building is available for lease 7 days a week for all kinds of events. With a capacity of about 115 people it makes a great spot for wedding receptions (especially attractive because of the adjacent Centennial [...]
After having lunch in downtown Sanford on a beautiful Saturday I walked down to the Veterans Memorial Park. The flag hung on half mast that day because of Ted Kennedy’s death, I assume (so yes, I am once again behind on my posts…shame on me!). This little park right by the Sanford Riverwalk is actually [...]
This evening we were invited to an event at Carlos and Charlies for all members of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce. It was a great success and Carlos & Charlies generously provided free drinks and food for all guests. Here is the info of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce in case you are interested in [...]
I first became aware of the Step It Up Recovery Center in Sanford through a friend whose brother was injured in a car accident. He is now in a wheel chair (diagnosed as a C-5 quadriplegic) but on his path to recovery. As someone who is not directly affected by such a terrible accident and [...]

Sanford FL is a great place to enjoy a relaxed Saturday morning, away from all the hustle and bustle. Since I also wanted to check out the new covered shade I had written about during the week, I decided to visit the weekly Sanford Farmers Market on Magnolia Square and then walk a bit through [...]

Jose’s nephew who is currently staying with us to learn English just visited his girlfriend in Miami. Since we couldn’t drive him down there he decided to take the train. Today I picked him up at the train Amtrak train station in Orlando (Kaley Street Exit, after the 408 Exit when coming from Sanford). So [...]

Another fun Alive After Five event! I enjoyed the Blues and BBQ a lot – and the weather turned out perfect, not a drop of rain! The hot temperatures though may have kept some people in their homes because I have seen busier days. However, that made the lines shorter… We met up friends (some [...]
This is such a fun project that I came across when walking around Baldwin Park today. It’s called “Propagator for the Arts” and as you can see those are fun alligator sculptures each displaying a different design. As you may know I am fan of anything and everyone promoting art and culture in Central Florida. [...]
This was my first time at the German spring festival, organized by the German American Society in Casselberry. We (a bunch of German girls living in CFL and I) had a great time in a very idyllic setting with authentic music! Best of all: authentic food and German beer wherever you would look! To top [...]
After driving by the Sanford memorial Stadium so many times now I had to stop and finally take a picture of it. The stadium is located on Mellonville Avenue, less than a mile from the historic district, south of Lake Monroe. I didn’t know much about the stadium so I did a bit of research [...]

To someone like me, who didn’t grow up in the US and never went to school here (other than college), an American school bus is something very fascinating. So when we drove by a huge school bus parking lot today I just had to get off and take picture of this yellow piece of nostalgia [...]
Chloe is the cute little baby pug of our friends. When I saw her yesterday I just had to take her picture. Of course, she’s even cuter in real life… I thought since I am already talking about pugs, I might as well post a useful link at this point: For those of you who [...]

This is the new church building of the All Souls Catholic Church. They used to be located in Sanford Downtown but outgrew their building. Now they have this beautiful [...]
