Mike and
Mona live in horse country near the north central Florida town of Reddick.
In Mike's spare time, he tends to an enormous vegetable garden and raises honey bees.
Mona is still trying to teach her golden
retriever to speak Spanish, which has proven to be especially difficult
since Mona can't speak Spanish either.
