"Carol Burnett recently celebrated her 92nd birthday. She is currently among the stars of “Palm Royale” on Apple TV. She spent seven decades sharing her acting and comedic talents. Winter Haven played a role with Burnett in the early days of her career."

" ... Bobby Hiers professed he really didn’t realize Burnett’s star was on the rise. She returned in late summer that year and spent another four weeks in Winter Haven with Hiers as her es**rt. One local paper would even publish a photo listing Hiers as Burnett’s 'boyfriend.'”

Did you know that Luffa (Luffa sp.) is a squash that is used as a vegetable or as a sponge???? Yes that round crazy-looking sponge is edible! (at first)

"... It is easy to grow and is vining in habit. Grow luffa where the long fruits can hang, and harvest depending on their use. If using as an edible vegetable, harvest when green and about six inches long. If using as a sponge, allow to mature and harvest when the peel is brown and pulling away from the interior."
