Now that Subway has moved to a new location, Hungry Howie’s has moved into their old storefront. We received a flier with some great coupon offers and decided to try this new Hungry Howie’s.
The coupon we used got us a medium cheese or pepperoni pizza for just $2.99 as long as we picked it up ourselves. We were able to get one of each. We were also able to get a flavored crust without any extra charge. We got the pepperoni pizza with a butter crust. It was very greasy but improved the taste a lot. The plain cheese pizza was very bland.
The store is clean and neat, as would be expected since they’ve just opened. There are three or four booths for eating in the restaurant and a television for viewing. Everyone was very friendly. Our pizzas were ready within a reasonable amount of time and were prepared as we asked.
There are lots of specials including a different one for each night of the week. For example, there is a Wacky Wednesday special that gets you a large cheese pizza for $4.99. You can get toppings added for a fee. Again, this is for carry out only.
In addition to pizza, Hungry Howie’s has oven-baked subs, pasta, chicken wings and tenders, salads and desserts.
This location has drive-thru service, which I believe is a first for pizza shops in our area.

I much prefer Subway to Quizno's. We have had Subway sandwich shops in our area since we've lived here - over 20 years, but didn't get a Quizno's until the last year or two. We've eaten at Quizno's twice and I'll never go back. I don't understand what the fuss is about. Of course, I do like my sandwiches cold - nothing hot or toasty for me. The bread is always soft and fresh at Subway since it's baked right on the premises. There are several types of bread to choose from, too. Subway also has lots of fresh toppings to put on your sandwich. As you may know, there are many types of sandwiches to choose from as well - cold deli sandwiches, salad sandwiches and hot Italian sandwiches just to name a few. You can also have any sandwich turned into a salad. We got to the Subway in the north end of Sebring rather than the one closest to our house because we don't like the service at the Subway near us in Avon Park. They're owned by the same person but the owner says he has more trouble getting and keeping good help in the Avon Park store.

My husband's family had a reunion in Winter Haven. One evening we set sail on the Southern Breeze for a riverboat dinner cruise. It was a delightful evening. If I remember correctly, there were about 37 of us in our party. We were joined by another party of about 25. The boat had recently been refurbished and we were one of the first groups to set sail since the boat had been worked on. While not the most elegant ship I've ever been on, it was the only paddleboat I've ever been on and was quite comfortable. The meal was a buffet and we were allowed to make as many trips back as we wanted. There were three or four entrées offered, lots of side dishes, a small salad bar and dessert. Although not everyone in our party was happy, I thought the food was good and filling. The entertainment left a lot to be desired. It consisted of one person asking trivia questions or playing bits of music and asking a question. The winner received a free drink. We sailed around Lake Eloise and the scenery was gorgeous. The captain told us interesting facts at different points along the way. I had a great time and would gladly recommend the Southern Breeze Dinner Boat cruise to all.

My husband ate at Sonic when he lived in Indiana, L-O-N-G before I knew him. While on vacation once, we ate at a Sonic and I discovered why he likes this chain. We were delighted when we found Sonic had opened a restaurant in Bartow, even though it is a 45-minute drive from our home in Avon Park. While we have two Dairy Queens within 20 minutes of our house, we prefer driving to Sonic. I don't have a particular food favorite on their menu but I always get an orange cream slush. It's delightful!

The merchandise at Caladium Arts & Crafts Coop is the work of many artists and crafts people. This means the wares are unique and often one of a kind works of art. There are dolls, jewelry, note cards, hand painted china, furniture, quilts, stained glass, silk flower creations and more! As you would expect from such talented people, the displays are always well done and pleasing to the eye. Prices range from just a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. I find Caladium Coop a wonderful place to buy gifts. They offer a wide range of classes, too.

We had a coffee table that had a marble slap on the top. The marble got broken when our grandsons were visiting. (No one knows how, though...) We didn't want to throw the table away because it was one of our favorite pieces of furniture but we couldn't continue to use it. Our solution was to go to King Marble and have them cut a slab of marble to fit on top of the table to replace the broken piece. It was a good, relatively inexpensive solution which has worked well for us.

We own a couple of rental houses. Each time someone leaves, we need to have the carpets cleaned. When we were younger, we rented a machine and did it ourselves. Now that we're getting older, however, we have Carpet Master do the job for us. They were not the first company to clean our carpets, but they are the last ones to get the job. We first chose Stanley Steamer but weren't happy with their work. The next time we needed carpets cleaned, we called Carpet Master and we've been using them ever since. They do not surprise us with added charges. They do leave our carpets looking brand new. We don't have to worry about staying off the carpets until they dry. We've been very happy with their work.

Lawler Wells has lived in Avon Park all his long life. He knows the area, he knows the soil, he knows the growing conditions, he knows the weather cycles. All these things help make Lawler an expert in lawn care and maintenance. Although there was an existing sprinkler system in the yard of the house we bought, it had not been kept up well. Lawler improved the system and made any repairs that were necessary. He also tore up the grass and weeds that comprised our yard and laid new sod. Since then, he has maintained our yard and sprinkler system. We have a thick, lush lawn that many people say they're envious of.

Red Barn Furniture may be overlooked by a lot of people because it sits on CR 17 on the back side of Avon Park, between Avon Park and Sebring actually. Housed in a building that looks somewhat like a barn, this store is huge inside. They have sofas, living room tables, dining room furniture, bedding, outdoor furniture, rockers and more. While much of their furniture is new, Red Barn gets their furniture from a variety of places, too. Some of their furniture comes from auctions, so it is gently used. They get their bedding from a business which refurbishes used mattresses and box springs. Although we don't need furniture very often, we have bought a couple of nightstands for our guest bedroom here. We told our neighbors about Red Barn and they bought their living room furniture there.

Lakeshore Car Wash is one of our favorites in town. As we all know, it's important to keep your car clean since this helps keep the value up. When you get on in years and your bones start creaking, crawling around in your car to vacuum it and washing the exterior are jobs you don't want to bother with anymore. Lakeshore solves this problem easily, efficiently and at a fair price. While waiting for your car to get cleaned, it's fun to wander around inside and look at all the different things they have for sale. You can also watch in air conditioned comfort as your vehicle runs through the car wash. While they almost always do an exceptional job, if my husband or I find a spot they've missed they've always been happy to touch up their work. We've been very happy here and recommend it to everyone.
