Managing four blogs can be quite a chore and I find it’s taking more and more time away from the things I really like to do – like family research, photography and writing. So, I’ve decided to do a bit of simplification and consolidation and the result is Moultrie Creek Gazette. The Gazette is one blog organized in magazine style with sections instead of separate blogs. Each section has its own character, which I hope to expand as the site develops.
At the moment, all of the content is consolidated in one RSS feed, but the plan is to offer optional feeds for each section. You can also subscribe to Moultrie Creek Gazette by email and you’ll find publication announcements on Moultrie Creek’s Facebook page.
This move is still a work in progress and you will see some of my favorite posts show up as reruns as I consolidate the content at the Gazette. The old blogs will stay up until that effort is completed.

You’re looking at the business end of a Saturn V rocket – the rockets that powered Apollo missions to the moon. This particular one fills a hangar at the Kennedy Space Center – part of an exhibit that celebrates the Apollo program and educates visitors on what it took to go to the moon. The space center contains a full day and more of awesome sights and sounds covering the history of this country’s space program. It’s worth every penny of the admission price.

As a native of St. Augustine, the Castillo de San Marcos is part of my everyday life. I can’t drive through the downtown area without seeing it. This fort has stood – undefeated – for more than 300 years and is the one place you MUST SEE when you visit our city. We spent two delightful afternoons here last week while our grandchildren were visiting (your ticket is good for seven days). On the first trip we took the tour and learned all about the fort’s architecture and its history. We also learned that the cannon firing demonstrations only happen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this time of year so, of course we had to go back for that!
I’ll be back again in July if not before. The fort green is one of the best spots to watch Independence Day fireworks.

Our trip to the
St. Augustine Alligator Farm with the grandchildren yesterday provided an additional treat – lots of nesting birds. We saw storks, egrets, herons and roseate spoonbills. The boardwalk across the alligator lagoon puts you within touching distance of some of the nests. It’s early in the rookery season and while we saw lots of nest-building and even eggs, this was the only chick.
