| May 14 is Mother’s Day, a celebration honoring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world.
What does home mean to you? The following are just a few of the heartwarming answers from different moms around Santa Rosa County:
- Home is a place blessed, where you and your family can be secure, have all you need, and share your sadness and happiness. — Honey
- Home is a safe haven and a comfort zone. A place to live with our families and pets and enjoy with friends. A place to build memories as well as a way to build future wealth. A place where we can truly just be ourselves. And whether our houses are big, small, fancy or modest, they are our shelters and our sanctuaries. — Linda
- Only three words: safety, security, stability. — Kathy
- Home means a future. Home is the base where everything begins. — Kelly
Dorothy was spot-on: There’s no place like it. As we journey through life―dodging the occasional wicked witch―it’s comforting to know that a cozy bed, loving arms, and perhaps even a Munchkin or two await, just across the threshold.

“Conna helped us to purchase and sell our unit at Portofino. To sell our condo in Pensacola Beach with a competitive market was certainly a concern for us. However, Friendly, knowledgeable and always available staff of Conna O’Donovan helped us to understand and adjust the decor asking price to an appealing realistic selling level. We highly recommend Conna O’Donovan Real Estate If you are serious about selling or buying real estate.”
“Great experience with great outcome. Conna was always professional; as we were out of town sellers, she kept us informed, gave inputs on all showings in a weekly e-mail. Attentive with frequent phone contact, we felt comfortable that she was doing her best for us. She sold our house quickly, with minimal negotiation.”

| Pole in the sand, sit back and wait. Brett Duch bringing one in! |
|
|
Did you ever wonder what all those fishermen on the beach area trying to catch this time of the year? Many of them are after the popular Pompano, a great fighting, great tasting, easy to catch fish that passes through the Pensacola Beach area on their southern seasonal migration. They are here for a few months and then, poof- gone again.
It’s easy, just bring a rod and reel. Thanks to the easy to find little crab called a “sand flea,” you can dig your own bait at the water’s edge! . In Pompano 101, you learn to wait. As your skills and knowledge progress you watch the tides, and the sandbars, and the weather, and look for the prime “sand-fleas”. But it’s fun and it’s Florida and Florida is about fishing so, just “grab a line and a pole” and establish your very own Pompano fishing hole. On the beach, off a pier or boat…have fun!
