Hi, my name is Susie Raffey. Welcome to my site.
As director of Miss Kitty’s Long Branch Ranch Incorporated (LBRI), I perform a variety of tasks to assist the well-being of wildlife while considering the needs of the community. Managing the online store, Susie Sells Seashells & other stuff at SusieSellsSeashells.com, is one of these tasks. Another is posting photos and video from around the ranch, like the one below, to my blog.
Cute cats certainly dominate the camera, though they are not the only subjects on the ranch. We also have owls, chickens, snakes, turtles, and occasionally a gator in the pond, all of which we catch on film. We get some pretty good scenery footage, too.
You will find a variety of things on my blog, including:
- My family legacy project on YouTube
- My LIP Service project on Shutterfly
- Boating and fishing with Dave and friends
- Road trips we have taken

A Few of my Favorite Posts
Our First
After twenty years of marriage, my husband and I finally did it – we took our first vacation – just the two of us, without any other agenda, event to attend or person in tow. We choose to go somewhere we have never been and have wanted to check out – the Florida Keys. Marathon, to be exact, a few miles past Vaca Key, and before the 7-mile bridge. The exact location was solely based on finding a place that would accommodate our large dog, and we were happy with the outcome. The Banana Bay Resort & Marina came up…

Trippin in Transylvania
Trippin in Transylvania Transylvania County in Brevard, North Carolina, is where Dave and I went to celebrate our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary in October of 2018. Our anniversary is actually in September; we took the trip in October because I wanted to see the leaves change. Plus, Dave was busy with work until then. It has … Continue reading
Annual Asparagus Festival
Every year for many years, we could count on my parents to stock our pantry with cases of home-grown pickled asparagus due to their abundant asparagus field and their talents in the kitchen. Even if we told them we still had plenty, my dad would say something like, “It will keep for years, and you never know when you’ll need it.” That was my dad. My mom, too, but mostly my dad. The asparagus crop of…
