You really have to come visit our new home

So, here we are all settled (well, as much as we ever are) in our new home in Dade City. It's really a beautiful place and we're proud to be here and proud to be neighbors in this charming little town. We're at the far reaches of the Tampa Bay area but really not that far from our old home on First Avenue N in St. Petersburg. It's a quick drive up I-75 (or U.S. 301, if you'd prefer.)

If you're never ventured up here from the busy streets of St. Petersburg or Tampa, we really recommend that you do so, not just to see us (though that would be wonderful, of course) but also to visit the antiques shops and the delightful restaurants in town. Make it an outing!

Of course, we know you'll have plenty of fun browsing our shelves in our new place and discovering treasures you'll just want to take home with you. And you can do it all in, as Heminway put it, a clean, well lighted place. (Of course, he was talking about a cafe and we're not a cafe but we'd venture to say you can find some bibliophilic morsels on our shelfs, though we frown on eating the books.)

We just wanted you to know that we'd love for you to come visit and we know you'll be glad you did.

So, we moved into a funeral home ...

This is our new home in Dade City, which is about an hour away from our old location in St. Petersburg. It's the old Hodges Funeral Home, a delightful and cozy place. We're certain we're going to like it here, and we hope you will, too. We'll have much more to say about our new home later on but we just wanted you to  know that we're here and we're getting settled.
