The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Many people overlook this fact since the skin is on the outside, but this organ helps protect all the others.
Also, the health of our skin, as well as our hair and nails, can give us a window into our overall well-being. With daily stressors such as pollution and sunlight, it is important to give these parts of our body some extra TLC.

Marriage today is based on the concept of viability. Viability depends on how viable the persons are and how constructive their efforts are.

When I moved to Wakulla County from Central Florida 34 years ago, it felt like I had landed in paradise. The abundant woodlands, wild coastline, freshwater springs and small-town atmosphere had me hooked for life. And even though our county has grown significantly in population and infrastructure since then, I still believe we live in paradise.
If you ever have doubts about it, take a drive down Skipper Bay Road through the Refuge. When you clear the treeline, stop your vehicle, get out, and take a few minutes to soak in the view.

Andrew Patterson Tully came to Wakulla County from the Carolinas in the early 1840’s, and originally from Ireland. He served as justice of the peace in Crawfordville in 1845. He is the forebearer of all the Tullys in Wakulla County and at one time owned all the land from Tully’s Garage in Crawfordville to a mile north at the upper end of the subdivision known as Hudson Heights. It included several hundred acres, and the original home is believed to be the one in which Jewell Hudson, county attorney, now lives though it has been moved from its previous location.
