We're all about Sanford Florida!
…Ingolstadt! My home town in Germany, that’s where the trip went ;o) The picture shows my parents’ home. So my old home is the setting for the end of the 365 challenge about Sanford, FL (my new home). I can’t think of a better ending… I am enjoying my family and friends and the short [...]
So I am sitting here at MCO (Orlando International Airport) waiting for my plane. Yay, I’m looking forward to this trip so much! It’s kind of funny that this challenge will not end in Sanford but in … [to be continued. ..Wait for tomorrow's post] Pin It
So I guess our official “Labor Day” was today since we spent a good amount of time on the couch. I am not sure how the name “couch potato” was invented but I think that’s what we were today. We watched almost 3 movies and were just lazy. That’s because tomorrow’s Labor Day will be [...]
How exciting, we went to the Depeche Mode concert at the Ford Amphitheater in Tampa! I have been a fan of this awesome band since my teen years so I couldn’t wait to finally see them live. It was such a great experience and I didn’t want the concert to end. Below are more pictures [...]
Tonight we were invited to the anniversary party of Fields BMW featuring Eddie Money who was going to perform live for all guests. Well, Florida’s weather kind of got in the way and the concert was canceled last minute even though the stage and everything had already been set up. Luckily Fields BMW had an [...]
Wow, 2 days in a row at Carlos and Charlies? Yes, it’s been a crazy week. Tonight we all got together to say good-bye to Lupe and ended up at Carlos and Charlies in Lake Mary. Since it was a Thursday night, Carlos and Charlies had $2 Margaritas all night. The music was great (good [...]
This month we are the hosts for the monthly wine club meeting (had previously hosted it in April). So because we expected rain we thought ahead and built up a cabana tent on our patio. And we were right, it did rain! But thanks to the tent we all stayed dry and had a great [...]
Those of you who know me a bit better might know that I find squirrels absolutely adorable! On top of that they make me laugh everytime they run/jum around – hillarious ) I have no clue what it is about those little rodents that I like so much… Squirrels seem to be quite common in [...]
Yay! I was very excited when I received a call last week about a potential article featuring the Sanford365 Blog in the Orlando Sentinel! Of course, I agreed to be interviewed and sure enough, the article was published today in the Orlando Sentinel. Here is a link to the article. This is obviously a huge [...]
My sister gave us Risk, the popular board game 2 years ago for Christmas. We never got to play it until now. Since none of us knew the rules we had to teach ourselves, but the rules are quite simple to understand: it’s all about world domination! So Jose, his nephew, our friend Lupe and [...]
I’m often asked why I write so much about Lake Mary when this blog has its main theme established as a blog about Sanford. The answer is simple: Sanford and Lake Mary are basically “siblings”. They are so close that it is sometimes even hard to determine where one ends and the other starts. Especially [...]
My good old (and I don’t mean that age wise) friend Chris, author of a great novel that I got to read years ago, came down to Lake Mary today to celebrate his birthday with us over a cold happy hour beer, or should I say Guiness (he loves that stuff). And what better place [...]
Since 2007 there is a monthly wine club get together in our neighborhood. We typically host it at any of the participating wine club “members” houses where we sample wines (based on the theme of the month, could be Italian wines, Merlots, you name it…). Every neighbor is required to bring a bottle of wine [...]
A friend of us, Stony Sixma, had been inviting us for months, if not years, to come watch him play music at the Swamp House Grill in Debary (Highbanks Marina and Campground). I am happy that we finally made it out there! We had a great time at the Swamp House Grill and I really [...]
A rainy day in Sanford. I wanted to take our guests out a bit so we decided to run over to the mall. As we left the house I looked up in the sky and saw this amazing “gradient sky”. The designers among you will understand why I am so fascinated with this truly natural [...]
Carlos and Charlies at Colonial Town Park has become one of our favorite destinations for a fun evening or dinner, or a good happy hour. Since our good friends from Detroit are visiting this week we brought them over here for lunch and the Margarita Happy Hour ($2 margaritas, daily from 3pm-7pm). As you can [...]
So out of my list of things to do on the 4th of July (featured on this blog), we picked the Wekiva Falls event. We had a blast and are even thinking about making it our 4th of July tradition… It was a great idea to bring our gazebo tent. It didn’t rain but it [...]
Today we met with Kamran Malik, a very talented photographer in Sanford for our first photo session. I took this shot during our session right by our office at Parkplace at Heathrow. Below you will find the results of this fun evening photo shoot – obviously all taken by Kamran himself I won’t take credit [...]
Randomness Alert We still had some frozen hamburger patties in our freezer (from last year’s Labor Day pool party…yes, I know, it’s been a while, but we just never eat burgers) so Jose asked me to do burgers. Quite honestly, I am not an expert when it comes to cooking and probably even less when [...]
Today we attended a fundraiser organized for the brother of a friend who had been in a bad car accident last year. The event was held in downtown Orlando and a huge success. Over 100 people showed up and supported the cause. The theme was a spaghetti cook off which I thought was a very [...]
