My friend Gale runs this awesome holiday decor store, Christmas & Gifts by Gale. It just re-opened at the entrance to Edison Mall (right across the aisle from Books A Million) after two years at Bell Tower. Lots of beautiful, one-of-a-kind items, and it's the only store of its kind in SWFL. Check it out!

This family of burrowing owls set up house at the base of a disused goal post half a block away. They love perching on that goal post and any other horizontal surface. 🙂
