Relax! Go Do It At ‘Salt of the Earth’ in Sarasota, FL

Written by Laura Bell Adams on . Posted in Businesses.

Welcome to August! Leaving July and entering August means one thing for most of us—Back to School. Yes, this has been one quick summer. I remember when August was all yours as a kid, the last month of freedom before Labor Day which was the signal that school was beginning. Now, kids are out of school before Memorial Day and back in weeks ahead of Labor Day, thus seeming to shorten the time spent away from the books. For parents, a return to school means many things. First, and an obvious foremost, kids will be doing their own thing during the day, away from you and your home. Perhaps this makes your heart twang in a sad way as the uncertainty of a new routine awaits. Or, if you’re a seasoned parental unit, maybe you are counting down the days until you have your freedom and sanity back. It’s o.k., we’ve all been there.

Written by Sande Caplin on . Posted in Blog.

There is something very special about going to a museum… especially my favorite of all-time, the New York Museum of Natural History. The last time I was there was when I took my kids- about 30 years ago! Now, I had the opportunity to go with 3 of my grandboys and several family members. My son-in-law, Rob gave us a fabulous Christmas gift- a day at the museum.

3 Easy Ways to have a Happier and Greener Holiday

Written by Sande Caplin on . Posted in Blog.

America is a consumer nation, there is no doubt about that. There is no other time of the year that this fact is more obvious than during the holidays. We all pretty much know that Americans will spend an average of $900 extra dollars this season, but did you know we will generate 25 million pounds of extra garbage between Thanksgiving and New Year’s? That’s in addition to normal monthly household garbage. No wonder we feel the need to leave a 12 pack of beer atop the pile of boxes and bags of wrapping paper heaped up on our curb on the first garbage day after Christmas. A few of the stats jumped out at me, and I’ve come up with some alternatives that can not only keep some cash in your pocket, but will go a long way to keeping our garbage men and the planet happy.

Sharing the stage several times this August with Gov’t Mule, and starting their Fall “Sinners & Sanctified” Tour with Aaron Lewis in October, Blackberry Smoke was able to take a short interlude to visit Florida to perform alongside the Chris Robinson Brotherhood for three shows; Jannus Live on September 9th being one of them. Jannus will be rockin that Saturday evening with this ‘daring duo of bands’ line up. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Charlie Starr (lead vocal and guitar) of Blackberry Smoke about the band, the music and their future projects.
