Every Time You Kissed Me
It’s been fifty years since Henrik lost the only one he’s ever loved. Since then, he has lived life quietly and grieving still, awaiting the day he can join his deceased darling. [Recommended listening: Every Time You Kissed Me by Yuki Kajiura, performed by Emily Bindiger.] [To fully encapsulate the emotions portrayed in this work, it is recommended to read this as the sun is setting or at night, preferably in a spot where the reader feels most at home.]
  The sky is the colour of blood.
  The setting sun stains the clouds around it with shades of russet and rose, bathing Stellan’s joyful countenance in a soft golden glow. Less beautifully, it clashes with the silver engagement ring on his fourth finger, but Henrik barely notices. “I love you,” he says for what feels like the millionth time.
  Next to him, Stellan rolls his eyes. “You said that five minutes ago.”
  “But I do!” He hinders their journey home even more by grabbing Stellan round the waist and brings his hand to his lips, kissing the engagement ring that promises a happy marriage. “I love you so much I could never stop saying it. I love you so much that just getting married ain’t enough to show it.”
  Smiling (neither of them can keep a straight face for long), Stellan presses their foreheads together, and Henrik feels the butterfly-like flutter of his eyelashes against his cheekbone, soft and fleeting. “I love you too, you sentimental idiot.”
  He smiles and swoops in to kiss his lover. “Oh, I still can’t believe it. Engaged at twenty, to the loveliest man I’ve ever known!” And it’s true — Henrik feels as though he’s about to burst with happiness.
  “You don’t care about the people who will tut at us?” Stellan asks, “the people who will say we’re too young to be married?”
  “Who cares about what other people say?” Henrik laughs, his face aching with the smiles that it’s been tasked to show. “The only words I want to hear are those from you.”
  Stellan laces their fingers together and drags him down the street, past flickering streetlamps and chipped picket fences, drags him on the familiar path home. “One day, my darling, all that sappiness you exude is going to kill me. I’m going to be overwhelmed by how sweet and charming you are, and I’m going to drop down dead.”
  Henrik nearly trips over a crack in the pavement as he struggles to keep up. “Those are mighty bold words for someone who just called me ‘darling’.”
  “Would you rather I call you something else?”
  “Please don’t,” Henrik says, “I’d listen to you call me your darling for the rest of time, if I could.”
  “Just walk, won’t you?” Stellan pushes him lightly. “The walk home was supposed to take fifteen minutes, and we’ve been ditherin’ for thirty. I just want to take a nice, hot bath and fall asleep in my lovely fiancé’s arms, if you please.”
  “Your lovely fiancé?” Henrik repeats, grinning goofily, “tell me about him. He’s way hotter than me, right?”
  “Well, if you insist,” he snorts, stepping on the last crossroad before they reach home, “my fiancé is - “
  It happens so quickly Henrik can’t even process it.
  Everything seems to pass by in a blur. Before he knows it, Henrik is in bed, the night freezing cold and the other half empty.
  He doesn’t remember much of what happened in the evening. But he remembers a truck, a murderer, screeching to a halt on the road; he remembers Stellan collapsing on the rough tar road, as light as a falling leaf; he remembers the life fading out of his lover’s beautiful blue eyes, the last breath escaping from lips that were about to laugh.
  He remembers falling to his knees, screaming and screaming and SCREAMING until he could scream no more, palms rubbed raw against the rough asphalt of the pavement as his eyes refused to tear away from the sight of Stellan, his Stellan, his beloved, lying dead on the road like a stricken animal, cruelly torn from him just a few steps away from home.
...
  The afternoon is alive.
  Outside Henrik’s kitchen window, the early summer breeze stirs chartreuse leaves in a psychedelic little dance, playing with golden sunlight and bending it into pretty patterns. At the corner of his kitchen counter, his radio plays some sort of happy-go-lucky song. Henrik resists the urge to throw his dish-towel at it.
   The last of his few plates are dried, and Henrik slides the stack into his cupboard. The radio crackles, blaring, “and now for the weather forecast, folks, this May seventeenth is a lovely summer’s day, sunny with not a chance of rain! You might want to stock up on the sunscreen, too.”
  This time Henrik does throw the dish-towel at his radio, sighing with all the exhaustion and world-weariness of your typical middle-aged man. He closes the curtains and blocks out the glaring sunlight, remembering that his car needs washing and groans to himself.
  Twenty years ago, Henrik would find these mundane chores enjoyable. But twenty years ago, Stellan was alive and would flick soap suds at him, spray at him with their garden hose and chase him through the house with his feather-duster. 
  Today being Stellan’s birthday only adds insult to injury.
  For the fifteen birthdays he got to celebrate with Stellan, Henrik would always bake him some sort of cake (or bought one), sloppily ice it, and bring it to school with him. The entire class would share the cake, Stellan would get the biggest slice and Henrik would always deliver his birthday present with a simple hug - or, when they started going steady, a kiss.
  No more cakes now, no more hugs or kisses, no more company. At Henrik’s job, the same old spot at a publishing agency he’s been working at since he was eighteen, a few of his old friends pat him on the shoulder when they see him. On such a Sunday afternoon, alone and wondering why he even bothers, he wants to see people, although they are not the one he wants to see.
  When night falls, and he cannot sleep, Henrik walks out to his little garden. It is still impeccable, of course, but soulless and dead. He uprooted his favourite hyacinth plants a week after Stellan died, his lover’s beloved twinflower patch a month after that. In its place are boring-looking flowers Henrik never bothered to learn the names of - their only purpose is to make the garden look normal.
  At the corner of his garden is a small lamp, and he switches it on, staring listlessly at the harsh glow that leaves spots dancing before his eyes. Not long after, a moth flutters to perch on top of the lamp, its eye-spotted wings quivering just slightly. Memories of Stellan rush back, of his lover, youthful and happy, holding a moth in his delicate, porcelain hand, quipping about how the moth’s thin little legs tickle, before shaking his hand and releasing it into the night.
  Henrik leans forward to turn off the lamp. Tears run down his cheeks, and he hurriedly reaches up to wipe them away. Unable to bear the memories the garden brings him, he hurries indoors and braces himself for another night of fitful sleep.
...
  In the middle of a spring-cleaning session one day, bones already creaking with the too-early signs of age, Henrik dodges a heavy, leather-bound book that falls from his shelf. Cursing the way his hips pop, he picks up the tome and realises that it is no book, but a photo album.
  And though his mind screams for him not to, Henrik surrenders to his nostalgic, over-emotional side and opens the album.
  Each photo inside is neatly labelled, even though there are not many of them. The first one, he recognises, was taken when he and Stellan were ten years old, grainy and monochrome. But he can see the grins on their faces, and their arms around each other, and their run-down schoolhouse beside them. He turns the page.
  The next photo, as the date tells him, was taken exactly forty years ago, and shows the two of them at the beach, in garish swimwear and faces caked with sand. Henrik chuckles at his twelve-year-old self, hair a wind-tossed mess and one hand pinching Stellan’s cheek. Oh, how happy they were.
  The third photo is of their last year in high school, a cut-out from their yearbook, of them holding each other and not looking at the camera. The little caption underneath reads, “Henrik Dansen and Stellan Dahl - Cutest Couple”.
  Henrik can barely keep a straight face as he flips through the rest of the album, filled with snapshots of when he was happy and content, when he had someone to hold and love. At the very last page, the thirteenth photo, is a small strip of film holding four photos. And he can tell, from their bright smiles and how they wave their hands to show the pretty little bands around their fourth fingers, the photos were taken the day he proposed to Stellan, after a dream-like date and inside a dingy little photo booth. 
  Silly young not-yet-adults, they were, blissfully unaware of their horrible fates.
  He slams the album shut, sniffles and shoves it at the very back of his shelf, behind old magazines from who-knows-when and old novels he’s given up on reading.
  And he continues to clean.
...
  It appears to be one of those mornings, those mornings where he feels too weary to get out of bed and is content with nestling in the comfort of his pillows and staring at nothing.
  The bedroom is stuffy and warm, the heated air of summer turning the room into what feels more like a sauna. But inside, Henrik feels cold, stretching out on his impossibly large bed. Even after fifty years, being the only occupant of his bed feels strange.
  He is aware of how his old bones creak more than usual, the way his vision is blurrier than usual, how his heart beats a little slower than it did yesterday. Henrik sighs, a rattling breath pushed out from failing lungs. And he wishes, probably for the millionth time, that he could trade places with Stellan, to be the one run over on the streets instead of the one slowly ageing.
  Outside the open window, Henrik can see, at the corner of his vision, the road where he lost Stellan, scrubbed clean of the terrible event that occurred there when he was young. But the sunlight is too bright; it hurts his eyes. He looks away.
  With one trembling, brittle-boned hand, Henrik runs his thin-skinned fingers over the cool, varnished wood of his bedside table. A layer of dust gathers at his fingertips. His hand bumps against a metal photo frame. Henrik picks it up, his hand straining.
  His old eyes struggle to figure out what’s in the photograph, before it hits him - it’s him and Stellan, as most of their photos are, pink-cheeked and young - they couldn’t have been older than sixteen - and smiling toothily. Henrik raises one hand to touch his wizened, wrinkled face. That all seemed like an eternity ago.
  Oh, how he misses Stellan! Henrik squeezes the frame with what’s left of his strength, feeling the sun-warmed metal bite into his skin. How he longs for his young darling of a lover, snatched away by the cruel claws of the monster that is fate.
  He wants to cry, but he cannot. Instead, Henrik simply lets the photo frame fall onto his lap, sinking into his blanket. His eyes flutter. He leans back into his pillow, feeling so small and tired.
  Henrik.
  The voice makes his eyes open. In a feeble voice, rough with disuse, Henrik rasps, “what?”
  It’s me, my darling. Don’t you remember?
  How could he forget? Wondering if he is hallucinating, Henrik rasps, again, “Stell?”
  A little snicker. He hasn’t heard it in half a century. Who else would it be, silly?
  His voice breaks. “I’ve missed you so much.”
  Despair creeps into Stellan’s voice. So have I. But we won’t have to, not for long.
  “What do you mean?”
  My darling. The endearment, so sweet, so loving, brings tears springing up. I can finally see you again. I’ve waited fifty years to be able to do this.
  And Henrik understands. “Is it time to go?”
  You’re right. And Stellan appears, as young and beautiful as he was when he died, as though in a mirage. He kneels down in front of Henrik, caresses his face with smooth, gentle hands, and suddenly Henrik feels as though he is twenty years old again, a shallow young man deeply in love. 
  My dear. He smiles. My sweetheart. Stellan brushes his thumb over Henrik’s lips. My one and only. Henrik laughs, a fragile, hacking sound that sounds more like a cough. My love, my love, my love. Join me, please.
  “Of course I will.” Henrik can count his heartbeats, every weak thump of his chest. His breathing is beginning to slow. “I’ll join you.”
  I love you, Henrik. Stellan’s gentle smile, his lovely frame, along with the rest of Henrik’s bedroom, is rapidly fading. I’ll see you there.
  “I love you too, Stell.” Henrik smiles back, even though it hurts to do so.
  The last thing he feels before everything fades to black are Stellan’s lips, feather-light and gentle, brushing over his forehead in one last kiss.

Moving To Fresno California
“ Fresno, whose name is the Spanish word for "ash tree,"
The original inhabitants of the San Joaquin Valley region were the Yokuts people and Miwok people , who engaged in trading with other Californian tribes of Native Americans including coastal peoples such as the Chumash of the Central California coast, with whom they are thought to have traded plant and animal products.
Fresno County was first settled by Yokut tribes long before Europeans came to the U.S. – at one point, 60 tribes inhabited Fresno County. The area encompassing the county was claimed by Spain and then Mexico once the latter won independence. The first known Mexican expedition into Fresno County was completed in 1806 by Gabriel Moraga, who also named the Kings and San Joaquin rivers. Moraga was looking for new sites for missions, but Mexican development in the county was slow. What is now Fresno County joined the U.S. following the Mexican War in 1846. Fresno County was officially founded in 1856 from sections of neighboring Mariposa, Merced and Tulare counties.
It lies approximately 220 miles (350 km) north of Los Angeles , 170 miles (270 km) south of the state capital, Sacramento , and 185 miles (300 km) southeast of San Francisco Yosemite National Park is about 60 miles (100 km) to the north, Kings Canyon National Park is 60 miles (100 km) to the east, and Sequoia National Park is 75 miles (120 km) to the southeast.
In the 1970s, the city was the subject of a song, "Walking Into Fresno", written by Hall Of Fame guitarist Bill Aken and recorded by Bob Gallion of the world-famous "WWVA Jamboree" radio and television show in Wheeling, West Virginia Aken, adopted by Mexican movie actress Lupe Mayorga, grew up in the neighboring town of Madera and his song chronicled the hardships faced by the migrant farm workers he saw as a child.
Although the neighborhood was known as a residential area prior, the early commercial establishments of the Tower District began with small shops and services that flocked to the area shortly after World War II. The character of small local businesses largely remains today.
The Tower District is a hub for community events such as Jamaica My Weekend, Mardi Gras in February, Gay Pride Parade , car shows, A Taste of The Tower, Halloween in the Tower, and the Farmer's Market opened on the North-West Corner of Olive and Van Ness.
The neighborhood includes Kearney Boulevard, named after early 20th century entrepreneur and millionaire M. Theo Kearney, which extends from Fresno Street in Southwest Fresno about 20 mi (32 km) west to Kerman, California A small, two-lane rural road for most of its length, Kearney Boulevard is lined with tall palm trees.
Fresno tends to remain socially conservative while being more moderate on economic issues, which can be seen in Fresno's support for socially conservative proposition amendments but occasionally voting for a Democratic Presidential Candidate if economic times are poor such as former President Bill Clinton's victory over incumbent former President George H.W. Bush in 1992 and President Barack Obama over Senator John McCain in 2008.
According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis ‘s Regional Price Parity survey, which takes into account cost of living metrics including the price of goods and services and housing, Fresno has a regional price parity of 106.0, -3.2% below the average for US metro areas.
In return you get great schools, lots of activities for your children to choose from, plenty of chain restaurants and a few really good independent restaurants, and a fairly safe area to raise your kids up. Clovis PD is much better than Fresno PD on answering calls and keeping the streets safe.
The parks have a multi-use amphitheater that seats up to 2,500 people, authentic Japanese Garden, fenced dog park, two-mile (3 km) equestrian trail, exercise par course, three children's playgrounds, a lake, 3 small ponds, 7 picnic areas and five miles (8 km) of multipurpose trails that are part of the San Joaquin River Parkway's Lewis S. Eaton Trail.
Major watercourses are the San Joaquin River , Kings River , Delta-Mendota Canal , Big Creek , Friant Kern Canal , Helm Canal and Madera Canal It is bordered on the west by the Coast Range and on the east by the Sierra Nevada It is the center of a large agricultural area, known as the most agriculturally rich county in the United States The county withdrew 3.7 billion US gallons (14,000,000 m3) of fresh water per day in 2000, more than any other county in the United States.
Passenger rail service is offered by Amtrak so residents can enjoy a ride along the tracks when getting about town or long-distance bus service is offered by Greyhound The Fresno Yosemite International Airport brings new and long-time residents in and out of the region from all over the world.
An agreeable climate, and proximity to both ocean and mountains combine to make Fresno a haven for lovers of the outdoors. For athletic Fresnans, surfing Pacific coast beaches such as Santa Cruz in the summer, then skiing the Sierras in the winter is commonplace. Sailing at Huntington Lake and canoeing the San Joaquin River are popular activities. And Fresno is the only city in the country surrounded by three national parks: Kings Canyon, Sequoia and Yosemite. Pebble Beach, the most storied golf course in the country, is just a 2-hour drive away (Spyglass Hill and Spanish Bay are two other top-rated courses in Pebble Beach).
Fresno's nightlife offers a myriad of music, dining and entertainment options reflecting the city's youth and diversity. The Tower District has many great places to see live music. Several wineries inhabit the area. Combining the best of both worlds, Fresno has big-city amenities while retaining a friendly, small-town atmosphere. 
Fresno California has always been a popular draw for those seeking that perfect combination of big city culture and small town hospitality. Many folks are flocking there each year as many Long Distance Moving Companies are seeing a increase in those relocating to the area.

Coastal Clotheslines 5 considerations for Buying Ethically Australian Made Clotheslines
At Coastal Clotheslines, we are committed to delivering the best Australian made stainless steel clothesline under the sun using sustainable solar manufacturing practices. Here are the five most essential tips defining ethical choices when buying a folding clothes line or wall-mounted clothesline.
It Costs the Earth
Firstly, do your research! We are the only Australian made clotheslines company that refuses to use plastics in packaging and clothes line manufacturing! As an ethical family business, Coastal Clotheslines have had to reimagine and therefore redesign the future of Australian made washing lines. From the outset of our business, the focus has always been based on a sustainable agenda. Let’s face it, Coastal Clotheslines patented designs were invented because of poor quality clothes lines constantly breaking down, resulting in more landfill. Buying sub-standard plastic, PVC, nylon and painted aluminium tubing clothes lines hurt not only our pockets but inevitably drive over-production impacting our environment. Enough is enough!
Manufacturing Transparency
Secondly, trust in the manufacturing process of our 316 stainless steel clotheslines. We are continually working with our supply chain partners to clearly understand the 316 stainless steel process and their associated environmental targets. Here in Australia, we manufacture every single clothesline with solar energy resulting in zero emissions. We do not use toxic paints or finishes. The simple idea of balancing the 316 stainless steel production with zero net emissions during clothesline manufacture here is a conscious decision based on our ethical vision. Ultimately Coastal Clotheslines has a vision to completely offset emissions for stainless steel production whilst striving towards recycling stainless steel for re-purposing into clotheslines.
Form & Function
Thirdly, feel great about a durable utility that enhances your home. Stylish form meets function coupled with lasting durability is the mantra for a great folding clothesline. So why not invest in the best clothesline ideas that meet your needs with the added bonus of a stylish aesthetic! Let’s look at the design of a Coastal Clothesline and its robust bracket system. The patented curved design based on the scientifically proven strength of the triangle with flexing capability delivers easy cable tightening. The ability to choose your cable lengths to customise your clothesline for narrow clothesline spaces is ideal. The curved brackets fit seamlessly as wall mounted clothes lines enhancing any Australian home style- the classic Queenslanders of Brisbane, contemporary block forms of Cottesloe, weatherboard beach houses of Bondi, inner-city builds of Melbourne, beautiful bungalows of Adelaide and passive homes in extreme Australian climates.
Clothesline Installation & Reliability
The fourth consideration for an ethical clothesline purchase is all about easy clothes line installation and outdoor clotheslines you can trust. Clotheslines in coastal conditions must be 316 stainless steel clotheslines. Our wall mounted clotheslines can be installed on sturdy fences, brick, masonry, steel, timber and weatherboards. Coastal Clotheslines offers the only folding clotheslines capable of an easy clothesline installation into timber studs. Our new mount tabs create an extra anchor vertically, working with the bracket horizontally for the most effortless clothesline installation. Your clothes line is delivered to your door with all fasteners and fixings in stainless steel. There is no need to drive to a hardware store wasting time and money looking for screws, nuts and bolts- follow our Coastal Clotheslines easy clothesline installation guide and youtube installation video and visit our FAQ page. Not the handy type? We use qualified clothesline installers around Australia to help you install your clothesline into posts, wall mounted clotheslines and folding clotheslines. From the Eastern beaches of Sydney, northern beaches up to Palm Beach, Sydney, Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, Gold Coast to Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Cairns, there is an expert clothesline installer for you.
Packed & Polished Forever
Finally, the 5th consideration for ethically Australian made clotheslines is the ability to maintain your clothesline forever. The lifetime warranty of our Coastal Clotheslines is a big deal. We recommend visiting our home page and discovering the ‘care & maintenance’ page.
The delivery of your Coastal Clothesline order arrives at your door via Australia Post or the Sendle courier system. Each clothesline is handmade, so please allow 10 to 14 days delivery. Our packaging is environmentally friendly with minimal ink use and no plastics. Please place the cardboard in the recycling or use it to layer in your no-dig garden!
So lower your environmental footprint with savvy purchasing. Use smarter clotheslines and think outside the square for mounting zones so you can stay away from the overuse of the clothes dryer. Do some research and look beyond the average options to really invest in your future. A win-win for your bank balance and the environment! Hang out with us at Coastal Clotheslines and ‘Love it for Life’.

Attract More Business And Make More Sales… With “The HUB Palm Beach” Social Media Training
Tumblr media
At The HUB Palm Beach, we know you want to be a successful business owner. One who serves and helps more people, while growing your business, and becoming wealthy. In order to do that, you need more leads, more prospects, more customers and more sales.
The problem is, you’re not getting enough leads and prospects, because you’re not using social media effectively, so you can attract more new customers and build a following that grows.  You are not generating the sales you want, because you have not learned how to tap into social media effectively…
Which makes you feel stuck and disappointed. Doubting your ability to be successful in business.  This makes you feel overwhelmed, thinking there is so much to learn, that you don’t know.
You may even feel like a failure, like it’s your fault.
You may believe that you can't grow your business with social media, and you don't deserve to be successful, because others are growing their businesses with social media, and you’re not.
Well, we believe it just shouldn’t be this way! You deserve to have the knowledge from experts that is necessary to use social media effectively, to grow your business, and be a successful business owner in today’s world.
We understand the position you find yourself in as a business owner, who needs more business and help. You see, we were once in your shoes. We understand how you feel, and that you may be stuck, not knowing what to do first, then next, to learn, then start using social media effectively, to grow your business like you want.
Well, don’t worry. Look, we realized the importance of learning and leveraging social media effectively to build businesses, years ago. Since then, we have helped all kinds of business owners, many perhaps just like you, to grow their businesses with social media. All with our proven, vetted educational and consultative help.
Here’s How We Do It. Our Learn and Do Approach Helps Your Business Grow Month After Month Listen, along with our years of experience teaching and using social media ourselves, we made it a point to be easy to work with. We make it all simple to understand, just like baby steps. We provide you with a simple three step plan that enables you to achieve success with our social media strategies. We walk you through these three simple steps, that help you understand, personalize and implement social media strategies that work for businesses like yours, whether you have an online business, a brick and mortar business, or both. All so you can attract more leads and prospects. Then, you just do what you do best, giving your customers what they want, to turn those prospects into customers.  We make it as easy as One, Two Three. Step 1) Learn To Use The Top Social Media Platforms Step 2) Create Your “Culture Profile” and Messaging To Attract Your Ideal Leads Step 3) Interact With Your Audience, Evaluate Performance, and Repeat Growing your leads, prospects and customers successfully with social media strategies is much like the thoughts of the great thinker Voltaire, who said in Candide, “We must cultivate our garden.” A common trait among many successful social media campaigns is a company’s ability to create and sustain an online culture around their brand. In other words, it’s about your ability to “cultivate your own garden”. At The HUB Palm Beach, we help you cultivate your own garden, of leads and prospects. [Enroll In The HUB Palm Beach Social Media Strategies Training Today] Now, if you don’t engage with The HUB Palm Beach, it’s likely that you could still find yourself in the same position you find yourself in now, this time next year. With the same difficulties you’re experiencing now, not attracting the leads and prospects you need to succeed. Because you’re still not sure how to use social media strategies effectively. It’s a fact. If you don’t get the social media strategy training and help you want (and need), instead of increasing your revenue, it may decrease. Instead profits growing, they could shrink. In this situation, you won’t achieve the level of profits and business success you desire. Which means it’s likely you won’t be able to live the life of a successful entrepreneur you want, living a rich, full life. However, when you get the social media strategy training and help you know you need to succeed in today’s world, your business and personal life will transform to new heights you may not even think possible now.  Because the skills and strategies you learn at The HUB Palm Beach, will stay with you for a lifetime. With this education and help, your business is set to grow by leaps and bounds. Your new, better life is made possible, from making the smart decision to get training and help, learning how social media marketing works. Getting good at it, then handing off the social media tasks to your team to manage. With you living the life of a successful entrepreneur. You, working when you want, and not working when you don’t. It’s all possible, and more, with social media training and help, from the experts at The HUB Palm Beach. [Enroll In The HUB Palm Beach Today.] Still on the fence about learning what you don’t know about putting the pieces in place, to start using social media marketing effectively in your business, simply and easily?

New Post has been published on https://vacationsoup.com/our-property-story-the-seahorse-retreat-palm-breeze-beach-house/
Our Property Story: The Seahorse Retreat & Palm Breeze Beach House
Ravaged by Hurricane Ivan
The land where The Seahorse Retreat and Palm Breeze Beach Homes stand today was once ravaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004.
The hillside, where the graceful Southern Magnolia provides shade and beauty, was eroded, full of brush, debris and uprooted pine trees. Ivan had ripped the roof off of the home that was previously on the property, and the structure had caved in and was damaged beyond repair.
The Spaid family surveys the property as a prospective vacation getaway.
  From the beginning, it was our vision to provide our guests with a memorable vacation experience.  Many very talented people were engaged in making the homes and properties what they are today.
The Home Design
The Seahorse Retreat remains the most ambitious project we have ever embarked upon. While on Folly Beach, SC, we saw a home that graced the marsh. The owner was kind enough to walk us through their home. Beside its intrinsic southern charm, the home had ample porches on every level with nearly every room offering a view of the water. A spiraling staircase to a fourth floor ("the cupola") has its own porch with tremendous views across the marsh.
Sullivan Design Company rendering of the home plan selected for property.
  After learning the design was originally found in Southern Living magazine, we were able to locate the architect, Scott Sullivan of  Sullivan Design Company. We purchased the blueprints and worked with the architect to make a few modifications to include two additional full baths and an extra ground floor bedroom.
Construction
Michael Raab of J.W. Dunnwright Construction, based in Pensacola, FL, built both homes and served as our General Contractor. The firm has more than 25 years of construction experience and an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. Mike operated from a trailer placed on site and later made his office in the ground floor bedroom of the Seahorse Retreat. Mike was masterful in his ability to work and communicate with us as a homeowner and with the contractors and subs at each step in the building process. He helped us to contain cost overruns, which was especially important given the project began with a financial setback. His efforts allowed us to persevere to the finish. We regard Mike as much a friend for his good company, sense of humor, and in making the building process as easy as possible.
The Landscape
We engaged Tim's brother, Ted Spaid. Ted was named a fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects in 2018. He has established one of the largest stand-alone landscape architecture firms in the Midwest, whose offices (see SWT Design), with its multiple green roofs and use of solar panels, is its own living laboratory. Ted is a national leader in environmental design, and we were so fortunate to be able to impose on his talents for the site design that included the planting areas, pool, spa and hard-scape areas.
Tim and Ted both spent college summers working at the Missouri Botanical Gardens together where Ted honed his horticultural expertise. But his overall talents shone through when Ted literally whipped out velum paper on our dining room table and began to sketch out an incredible design.
He designed a hard-scape plan that included patios, walkways, pool, spa, and driveway. The "palm court" between the two homes offers a stunning view of the infinity-edge pool and pool deck with waterfall. He worked through issues of beach access, parking, fencing, irrigation, and planting plan. A significant amount of money was invested in the landscape of the property. Ted never accepted a penny for his expertise but knows he always has a place for his family to vacation.
The Location
One of the many attractions of the Seahorse Retreat & Palm Breeze (owned by our partner's John and Diane Shim) location is not only having several hundred feet of shoreline and direct access to the water, but it is also on a gentle rise and high spot along Highway 98, which offers some protection against storm surge during a hurricane.
Looking back at the property from the dock on the Santa Rosa Sound
Since 2008, guests have commented on several benefits about the location. You have the proximity to venture into Destin (18 miles to the Destin Bridge) without having to contend daily with the traffic. The homes are also only five miles from Navarre Beach. As beautiful as Navarre Beach is, it is not uncommon for there to be rough surf, strong rip tides, or even dangerous marine life that forces people out of the water. The Sound offers natural protection. You can wade 200 feet to the end of the dock and the water still chest high. Parents with children feel the protection and exclusivity of the property affords a more relaxing vacation experience.

Oh the memories to be made here! WELCOME to Sea Trail where your Florida Dream Life Begins. There is room for everyone in this massive George Washington Model Built by Maronda Homes built in 2004.
You are greeted with lovely curb appeal and Palm trees. The home feels massive from the outside and impressive with its colonial revival style. As you enter the home through the foyer you will feel right at home.
The home has options for a formal dining area and formal living area. You can set this home up to your preferences without having to sacrifice important living space.
Off to the kitchen that has been recently updated with backsplash and stainless appliances complete with granite countertops. Overlooking the sink you have a view of the backyard. There is plenty of counter space to host parties and be a part of the group with the family room in close proximity to the kitchen.
As mentioned, the family room is located right off the kitchen. With neutral colors and natural lighting, this is the place to cozy up and watch movies or host family game night. There is also a half bathroom located downstairs.
Upstairs you will find a spacious loft. This room can be used as an office, game room, workout area, or whatever your heart desires!
All 5 generously sized bedrooms with closets are upstairs.
This home is almost 3000 square feet, so there is still a lot to talk about!
Laundry room is upstairs adjacent to the upstairs bathroom. I know that no one wants to climb up and down the stairs with a basket of laundry, so this makes it so easy!
The master suite is complete with a garden tub, separate tiled shower and double sink vanity. This is the perfect place to wind down relax and enjoy your own space!
Outside is where the FUN begins with loads of entertainment space.
Custom built in-ground screened pool finished with a water fountain, built in palm trees and fire pits. The pool is electric heated.
Lots of covered deck space and white vinyl fenced in yard, sprinkler system. There is still plenty of room if you want to let the dogs roam or plant a garden. 
This property is located in Seminole Woods within the city of Palm Coast and there is NO HOA! The current taxes based off of 2019 are only $2,400. The home is on city sewer.
Here is some helpful information on the area to help you get acquainted:
Palm Coast is a beautiful place to live. I have lived here for 20 years and experienced the growth and beauty this area has to offer.  I attended 2 of the schools listed above and grew up exploring Palm Coast. This property is only 8 miles from Flagler Beach. This is where we have festivals, yoga in the park, fireworks on the 4th of July and more. There are many beachside restaurants and quaint shops located along A1A.
If you have any question whether to make Palm Coast, Florida the place to put down your roots, ask me! I am honored to show you around this place that I call HOME!

Are Backyard Structures Included In Home Insurance in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl
Every homeowner's insurance in Naples, Florida policy is different. Properly understanding what's covered requires the homeowner to ask a lot of questions and to read the fine print on his or her insurance policy. At Ackerman Insurance Services- a Naples insurance company, though there are differences between policies, there are some things that almost all insurance policies have in common.
Home insurance in Naples, Florida typically covers a broad range of possible damages like your actual dwelling should be covered, as well as some other structures on the property, like a garage, fence, driveway or shed and the backyard as well. However, if you run a business on your property in a separate structure, this is generally not covered by homeowner's insurance.
The amount of coverage for personal property may be limited on certain types of high-value items, such as jewelry or artwork unless additional coverage is purchased for these items.Some structures you should expect to be covered by Ackerman Insurance  are:
Protection for your home’s structure
Coverage for additional structures on your property, such as boathouses, polls and storage sheds
Your personal belongings within your home will be covered up to a specified limit
Payment for property damage caused by you or other members of your household as well as legal responsibility or liability for injuries that occur on your property will be included in your policy
Some policies may cover injuries sustained by pets while they are inside your home
If a major disaster, such as fire, leaves your home temporarily unlivable, additional expenses may be included in your property insurance policy
Like other coverages in your policy, homeowner's insurance coverage has its limitations. For example, certain types of property – like a guest house that you rent out or a home office where you conduct business – may not be covered by your home insurance coverage. However, you may be able to add a business property endorsement to your policy to make sure you’re properly insured. Homeowners insurance protects one of your most important investments, your home, in the event that it’s damaged or destroyed by a covered peril. Your policy also includes coverage for structures that aren’t attached to your home. It is often best to take an inventory of everything that is inside your home and have it with you when you talk to your Ackerman  Insurance broker. He or she will be able to help you choose the best level of coverage so you get the policy that is right for you.
Generally, you can choose different coverage options when purchasing your property insurance policy. Each of these options features various levels of coverage, so you should talk to a trusted Ackerman Insurance broker that can help you determine which best fits your situation. Contact Ackerman Insurance Services at NAPLES – 239-597-1096, PALM BEACH GARDENS – 561-406-0609 or fill out the form to start your personalized home insurance quote today.

5 considerations for Buying Ethically Australian Made Clotheslines
At Coastal Clotheslines, we are committed to delivering the best Australian made stainless steel clothesline under the sun using sustainable solar manufacturing practices. Here are the five most essential tips defining ethical choices when buying a folding clothes line or wall-mounted clothesline.
It Costs the Earth
Firstly, do your research! We are the only Australian made clotheslines company that refuses to use plastics in packaging and clothes line manufacturing! As an ethical family business, Coastal Clotheslines have had to reimagine and therefore redesign the future of Australian made washing lines. From the outset of our business, the focus has always been based on a sustainable agenda. Let’s face it, Coastal Clotheslines patented designs were invented because of poor quality clothes lines constantly breaking down, resulting in more landfill. Buying sub-standard plastic, PVC, nylon and painted aluminium tubing clothes lines hurt not only our pockets but inevitably drive over-production impacting our environment. Enough is enough!
Manufacturing Transparency
Secondly, trust in the manufacturing process of our 316 stainless steel clotheslines. We are continually working with our supply chain partners to clearly understand the 316 stainless steel process and their associated environmental targets. Here in Australia, we manufacture every single clothesline with solar energy resulting in zero emissions. We do not use toxic paints or finishes. The simple idea of balancing the 316 stainless steel production with zero net emissions during clothesline manufacture here is a conscious decision based on our ethical vision. Ultimately Coastal Clotheslines has a vision to completely offset emissions for stainless steel production whilst striving towards recycling stainless steel for re-purposing into clotheslines.
Form & Function
Thirdly, feel great about a durable utility that enhances your home. Stylish form meets function coupled with lasting durability is the mantra for a great folding clothesline. So why not invest in the best clothesline ideas that meet your needs with the added bonus of a stylish aesthetic! Let’s look at the design of a Coastal Clothesline and its robust bracket system. The patented curved design based on the scientifically proven strength of the triangle with flexing capability delivers easy cable tightening. The ability to choose your cable lengths to customise your clothesline for narrow clothesline spaces is ideal. The curved brackets fit seamlessly as wall mounted clothes lines enhancing any Australian home style- the classic Queenslanders of Brisbane, contemporary block forms of Cottesloe, weatherboard beach houses of Bondi, inner-city builds of Melbourne, beautiful bungalows of Adelaide and passive homes in extreme Australian climates.
Clothesline Installation & Reliability
The fourth consideration for an ethical clothesline purchase is all about easy clothes line installation and outdoor clotheslines you can trust. Clotheslines in coastal conditions must be 316 stainless steel clotheslines. Our wall mounted clotheslines can be installed on sturdy fences, brick, masonry, steel, timber and weatherboards. Coastal Clotheslines offers the only folding clotheslines capable of an easy clothesline installation into timber studs. Our new mount tabs create an extra anchor vertically, working with the bracket horizontally for the most effortless clothesline installation.

Automatic Security Gates
Security gates are an easy way to guarantee the security of your home or business. Though ideal for large areas, security fencing and electric security gates are also useful for medium and small-sized properties. The use of security gates has found its niche in the market today. For those who find the security of their premises to be important (be it residential or commercial), electric security gates are the way to go.
Automatic/electric security gates make security easier and more convenient. These mechanisms allow you to open and close your security gate without even having to leave the comfort of your car. At the press of a button, your security gate will open or close behind you
No matter what type of security gate you install, there is an automatic security gate for you. Gates may either be swing gates or slide gates. Swing gates open outward or inward - swinging. They can be one-sided or double-sided. One-sided swing security gates are made out of a single section. A double gate has two sections that swing in or out. Slide gates, do not swing but slide to one side in order to clear or block an entrance.
Some automatic electric security gates have additional security features such as locks, deadbolt locks. You can open or close these locks manually as well as automatically. This is to avoid loosening at the end of the security gate so as not to allow small animals or pets to enter or leave the premises easily.
To install a security gate yourself, all you need is to purchase a kit that can to be installed on an already existing gate. If you have no gate installed, then you will have more options as to what kind of security gate you wish to install. There are numerous security gates available on the market. What you choose would depend on the specifications of your already existing gate or future functionality of the security gate. The size, length, weight, and material may have a bearing on what type of automatic electric gate kit you may use.
How do they work?
Automatic electric gate kits normally contain mechanical parts to attach on to your existing gate. These are controlled by electronic circuits than can be powered by a n umber of different methods. Some security gates are powered by batteries while others can be solar powered. For automatic electric gates, a transmitter and receiver are included in the package. These are the gadgets that allow you to control the electric security gate from afar.

5 seek Democrats’ gubernatorial nomination - News - Gainesville Sun
https://uniteddemocrats.net/?p=7409
5 seek Democrats’ gubernatorial nomination - News - Gainesville Sun
Which can win the general election?
President Bill Clinton was heralding the possibilities of the “information superhighway,” O.J. Simpson was readying his murder defense and Donald Trump was married to Marla Maples and preparing to unveil his new Mar-a-Lago Club the last time a Democrat won an election for governor in Florida.
Now five candidates are trying to convince Democratic primary voters they have the winning formula that has eluded the party’s gubernatorial candidates since 1994, when Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles won a narrow re-election victory over Republican challenger Jeb Bush.
Nearly a quarter-century later, the five Democrats seeking the party’s nomination for governor often try to tap into Democratic frustration with five straight gubernatorial losses and the Trump presidency. Running in the Aug. 28 primary are Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, billionaire Palm Beach real estate investor Jeff Greene, Winter Park businessman Chris King and former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine.
The winner will face the winner of a GOP primary between Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Adam Putnam and U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Palm Coast.
Any of the five Democrats would represent a sharp leftward turn from the last two decades of Republican governors or either of the 2018 Republican candidates. All five Democrats champion abortion rights, gun control, more school spending, a higher minimum wage, expanding health care and getting rid of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law. All criticize charter schools, private prisons, the NRA and Trump.
They differ on degrees of liberalism on some issues. King is the only candidate to declare outright opposition to the death penalty. Gillum is the only candidate to call for Trump’s impeachment. King, Gillum and Levine favor legalizing recreational marijuana use while Graham is for decriminalization and Greene wants to study the impacts of legalization in other states. Graham, Gillum and King support a $15-an-hour minimum wage; Levine and Greene want an increase but haven’t committed to the $15 figure.
In a party hungry for a gubernatorial victory, each Democratic candidate sees a different path to success.
Graham is the only woman in the race and the only candidate who has defeated a Republican in a partisan election. She was elected to a U.S. House seat in a Republican-leaning district in the GOP wave year of 2014 and said the experience proves she can win in a purple state in November. She’s also the daughter of former Florida Gov. and U.S. Sen. Bob Graham and has featured her father in some of her TV ads.
Her ads and speeches often appeal to Democratic frustration at two decades of losing governor’s races while also trying to tap into Democratic loathing of Trump.
“After 20 years of one-party Republican rule and with Donald Trump in the White House, we need a strong Democrat in the Governor’s office. Politicians in Tallahassee have sold out our schools, environment and healthcare to the highest bidders … I come from a family of public servants. As governor, I will defend our state from Donald Trump, restore our promise to public schools, protect our environment and expand health care,” Graham told The Palm Beach Post.
Gillum is the only African-American in the race and the only candidate with a net worth below seven figures. Though he’s only 39, he has the most experience in elected office. He was elected to the Tallahassee City Council in 2003 and became mayor in 2014. Gillum has won the support of prominent out-of-state liberals, including Democratic megadonors George Soros and Tom Steyer, People For the American Way founder Norman Lear and actress Jane Fonda. He recently snagged the endorsement of democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.
Florida Democrats have long fretted about picking a nominee who’s too liberal to win a statewide general election. The moderate side has often prevailed, as when Bill McBride beat Janet Reno in the 2002 gubernatorial primary or when Patrick Murphy beat liberal firebrand Alan Grayson in the 2016 U.S. Senate primary. Gillum argues that his progressivism will fire up a party base plagued by sluggish turnout in non-presidential elections.
“I grew up the son of a bus driver and construction worker in Miami-Dade County, and I’m the only non-millionaire in the Democratic primary … I’ve shown how you can campaign and govern as a progressive, and Florida Democrats need a nominee who will motivate our voters to show up in November,” Gillum said.
King is the only candidate who hasn’t held or run for elected office. He has put forward a detailed, unabashedly liberal platform on a variety of issues and says he represents a break from politics-as-usual. In addition to supporting tighter gun control measures, he has proposed a tax on bullets, free community college and has pledged to cut Florida’s prison population in half. He has made opposition to the sugar industry a centerpiece of his campaign, claiming big sugar growers have had undue influence on both parties.
“If you want the status quo, I’m not your guy. If you want conventional politics here in Florida, I’m not the right candidate for you. But if you want to swing for the fences, if you want to dream again, if you want to show them that Democrats are excellent, I’m Chris King and I want to be your governor,” King said at the conclusion of a Thursday night debate in Palm Beach Gardens.
Levine, who often says his $133 million net worth began with “$500 and a dream,” says his two terms in Miami Beach prove that he can put a progressive agenda into action. Miami Beach decriminalized marijuana possession, made high-profile efforts to combat sea-level rise, appointed its first black deputy police chief and got high marks from LGBTQ groups when Levine was mayor. It passed a resolution supporting an assault weapons ban in 2016 and passed a minimum wage increase that was tied up by legal challenges.
“Floridians want leaders who bring more to the table than talk. This election is about putting forward a vision for Florida’s potential and people want a candidate who has a record of taking action to get things done. As a successful entrepreneur who built companies from scratch and a two-term Mayor with a record of delivering results, I offer Floridians the best and most clear path to put our state back on track,” Levine said.
Greene entered the race in June but has barreled into contention by spending more than $13 million on TV ads, many of which claim he’s the best candidate to “stand up to Trump.” Greene defends his membership in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club as a platform to confront the president. His debut TV ad features a video clip, shot by his wife, of Greene and Trump in what appears to be a heated conversation at Trump International Golf Club in December 2016. Greene says he was arguing with the president-elect over Greene’s support for Hillary Clinton.
Greene also says his willingness to spend $100 million or more of his own money if he’s the Democratic nominee gives the party firepower it has lacked in its last five gubernatorial losses.
“When I go around the state and talk to ordinary Florida Democrats, you know what they keep saying? ‘We’re tired of losing,’” Greene said in his closing statement in Thursday’s debate. “I will take my resources — I’m the only one on the stage who has the resources — and I will spend, whether it’s $100 million, $200 million, to finally get the governorship back for Democrats this November.”

Driveway Gates - The Essential Guide
The driveway gate, the entrance to your property and home - we often think of them as just a necessary fixture of our driveway, a humble continuation of the garden wall or fence and simply a point of access and exit. We forget that they can improve the visual appeal of a property by adding style and charm. The gate is often the first thing visitors see when they visit or pass your property and its appearance can reflect what lies beyond by giving a good or bad first impression.
Which driveway gate should I choose?
Choosing a driveway gate greatly depends on the style and its intended purpose. A simple timber gate that blends in seamlessly with the fence or wall provides a traditional look and feel. Alternatively, a solid timber clad or wrought iron gate can offer a greater level of privacy and security for your home.
Automated or manual
If you want to go that little bit further you may consider an automated gate. No more hassle of getting in and out of the car on a wet day, and the benefit of the gate always being closed when the driveway is not in use. Electric gates can be a great addition to your property by deterring unwanted visitors, but make sure you get them installed by a professional gate engineer. There are many options to choose from depending on your driveway access and slope.
Types of gate
Fundamentally, driveway gates tend to be made from two materials, wood or metal. Metal gates come in a variety of styles and shapes and are manufactured in steel or aluminium. Steel gates traditionally tend to be more ornate in nature where aluminium gates can provide the look and feel of a traditional timber clad gate but at a fraction of the weight and without the hassle of annual timber maintenance.
Gate care and maintenance
Once you've invested in the ideal gate for your driveway, you now need to ensure that your gate is given the best protection to keep it looking as good as new, for as long as possible.
Almost all new wooden driveway gates are pre-treated to protect the timber against wood rot and bug attack, but these treatments don't provide all-round protection against the weather. Weather erosion and the suns UV rays will degrade the effectiveness of these treatments over time.
If you are looking for a natural look, you may want to overcoat any preservative treatment with a clear exterior wood oil or decking oil. These products contain a blend of oils, waxes and resins that penetrate the wood deep down to provide excellent protection against water access. A number of these products contain UV filters which help to retain the natural colour of the timber for longer, delaying the onset of weathering.
Painting your driveway gate
If you plan to paint your gate, it's important to ensure that any wood preservative used beforehand is free from wax, oil and silicon. Most external paints are water based and any pre-treatment that contains wax or oil will prevent the paint from adhering to the wood. Always invest in a quality paint, it can save you time and money in the long run.
Wood Stains
Using an exterior wood stain on your driveway gate is a terrific way of retaining the natural grain of the timber. A light-coloured softwood gate can be stained and sealed to give the colour appearance of Teak, Mahogany or Walnut.
Why oil timber gates?
As with any other garden wood such as benches, sheds and fencing, it's always a good idea to oil the wood as part of an annual garden maintenance routine. Wood oils penetrate in to the wood grain to replace the natural oils lost over time. This keeps the wood nourished and flexible, helping to prevent or reduce cracking and splitting. In addition, many exterior wood oils and decking oils contain UV filters that help to protect the timber from the bleaching effect of the sun.
An additional benefit of using wood oils is that they help to prevent water penetration, a common cause of mould and wood rot.
