Have you just moved, or are you thinking of relocating to Palm Bay Florida with your pets? We met some really great people at Double R Discount Pet, Farm & Ranch Supply. Palm Bay Florida has many areas for horses and other farm animals to roam, so Michelle's discount prices will be a benefit.

One thing that stood out to us about Double R Discount Pet, Farm & Ranch Supply is that they are a local family owned business, and they want to help meet your needs. They have a really nice online catalog that you can look at here.

The store is located at 5156 Minton Road NW, Palm Bay Florida. Call Michelle for advice or questions at 321-837-1625, or toll free at 866-325-7779. She would love to help you with your pet needs!

I love driving along the Indian River Lagoon, it is so peaceful and there is so much to take in. South Merritt Island in Brevard County Florida is a magical place to live, work, and play. Mangos and avocados are plentiful in Merritt Island and residents often place them out by the road in carts. All you have to do is pull over and get some! Although I don't live on the island, I will be working in South Merritt Island this weekend. No, I have not given up on real estate, quite the opposite. I am so blessed to be interviewing for the job of listing and selling a beautiful home there, and I get to drive along the Indian River as I go to work!

While quiet and laid back, South Merritt Island in Central Florida is just minutes away from a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and entertainment! Not enough shopping at Merritt Square Mall? Why not take in a movie or two. If you love the water, you can live in Merritt Island and be a little over ten minutes from Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and Ron Jon's. You will welcome your drive back home winding along the river bank on South Tropical Trail after your full day of activities.

Free avocados and mangos. I love what I do, and I love living near places like south Merritt Island. I can't wait to drive to work this weekend!

(I am getting ready to go now, and I am so excited! It is going to be a GREAT day no matter what, at the very least I can get some avocados and mangos, while I watch dolphins frolic in the Indian River Lagoon!)

I found this post unfinished in my draft file, wow what a blur the last few weeks have been! Rather than change it, I am posting it in the spirit that it was written in a couple of weeks ago.

Tropical Storm Fay dropped more rain on Brevard County Florida than anywhere else, more than all of the 2004 hurricanes did in Florida all together! There are many people homeless and suffering as I write this, and there are good stories starting to rise to the top. Many good neighbor stories and community efforts are seen more and more. One of them stood out to us the day after the storm finally cleared.

We Witnessed The Good In People in Our Own Front Yard!

Business slowed some the week of the storm for obvious reasons, Internet interruptions, inability to travel and so forth. My husband is the police chief in Rockledge where we live. Needless to say, this week was a long one. The first day of the storm a 30 foot tree was knocked down by the wind in our front yard. We cleared enough to get in the driveway and went on. My husband and son started clearing the tree on Friday after the storm was clearing. Shortly after starting, the chainsaw stopped working and that was the end of that for the night.

Fast Forward to Saturday Morning on the First Sunny Day in a Week

The doorbell rang on Saturday morning. Our neighbor across the street stood there with two chainsaws asking if we would allow him to cut the tree up! Now, he had no way of knowing that our chainsaw was broke! He told my husband that he knew he had been working 24/7 all week and wanted to help us out. This seemingly small act of kindness sent our spirits soaring after a long and gloomy week!

The good in people can be found whenever neighbors are in need, it is something that we should all remember. Hurricane Gustav is barreling through the Gulf as i write this. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who are in harms way. This storm will bring forth many stories of heroes behind the scenes who help others out in an unselfish manner like our neighbor did.

Topping it off, another neighbor in our subdivision of Timbers West in Rockledge Florida stopped my husband yesterday on the way home. Seems he has some 12 foot oak trees in containers that he has no need for and gave us one to replace the tree we lost! It is so wonderful living in a great town known for the kindness between neighbors. We are truly blessed!

The City of Rockledge just hosted the final 2008 Cruise-On-In Car Show at McLarty Park on August 2nd. More than 150 classic and muscle cars were enjoyed by over 1000 people. These events are getting larger and better each time Rockledge has one. As always, there is fun for the entire family along with great music and cars. The event was sponsored by the Citizens Advisory Committee, the Rockledge Redevelopment Agency, and the Rockin Rodders Car Club!

The Annual Hot Rockin' Nights Car Show Returns to Barton on October 25th!

The 8 million dollar Barton Boulevard Redevelopment Project was just finished, and the Annual Hot Rockin' Nights Car Show returns to Barton for an awesome afternoon and evening of family fun. Rockledge expects nearly 500 cars for this 5th annual event! Music will be by DJ "Fast Eddie", and there will be food and drinks for everyone! This should be an extra special event with the new layout of Barton Blvd. Come join us on this special night and see some really cool old cars!

What else could you want? The Sunrise Landing Condos are located in Port Saint John, Florida and the offer Indian River Lagoon living at it's best. This condo community features two pools, shuffleboard, tennis, fishing, and Indian River Lagoon boat docks.

Want a Good View of the Launches From the Kennedy Space Center?

The world famous VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) is located directly across from Sunrise Landing. While others wait hours in traffic, the residents here have a front row seat. While you wait, you can watch dolphins put on their own show.

Great Location for Shopping, Boating and Fishing!

The Port Saint John Publix shopping center is located directly across the street. With easy access to Titusville or Cocoa, you can complete any other shopping or business needs. This is a great neighborhood for relocation to the Kennedy Space Center, Port Canaveral, and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. There are several parks with boat access near the condos. For those who don't have a boat, fishing in the Indian River Lagoon is just outside your back door. Boaters can come home and dock for a break or pick up more supplies, and head back out. Sunrise Landing Condos, a great condo community to live and play in!
