Dunedin – Tampa Bay’s Best-kept Secret!

February 7, 2020 by Elegant Casas

“Dunedin may be the Tampa Bay area’s best-kept secret,” says Coastal Living Magazine.

Voted “Best Little Walking Town in America” by Walking Magazine, one feels they have returned home to small town America in Dunedin. A picturesque city with a hometown feel.  The Pinellas Bike Trail a 37 mile trail, snaking its way through the county, runs through the heart of downtown.

Visit top ranked Florida State Park, Honeymoon Island State Park, home to 4 miles of beach with great swimming, fishing and shelling.  There is also a section of beach that you can take your pet.  Take the ferry to nearby Caladesi Island State Park, one of the last undeveloped barrier islands on Florida’s coastline, and voted consistently by Dr. Beach as one of the best beaches in United States.

Dunedin is known for its vibrant art scene, charming galleries and lively downtown.  The city also hosts 25 festivals annually.  Dunedin has become an international sensation among travelers.  Unique in every aspect, from shopping on Main St. to enjoying waterfront dining near the city’s quaint Marina district.  Dunedin is also the Spring Training home to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Christmas Prayer

December 24, 2019 by Elegant Casas

Christmas Prayer

Loving Father,

Help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels,
the gladness of the shepherds,
and worship of the wise men.
 
Close the door of hate
and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift
and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing
which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
 
May the Christmas morning
make us happy to be thy children,
and Christmas evening bring us to our beds
with grateful thoughts,
forgiving and forgiven,
for Jesus’ sake.
 
Amen.
