The Atlas
We were fortunate to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with family up north. It was wonderful to be together, catching up on everyone’s happenings, sharing old stories, and just being family. As I’m sure most gatherings were, we got loud and rowdy, ate too much, and had an awesome time. We were even fortunate to run…

Gathering
Why does it take an event for us to gather with family and friends? Over the past weeks, we’ve spent time with family, many of whom we haven’t seen in a very long time. Today, we will spend even more time together as one. While I’m sad about the reason for our coming together, I…

The Old Days
Yesterday, after church, we joined our friends at breakfast (as has become the routine). We went to one of our four places of choice. When we were seated and had our coffee, we started looking at the menu. We all noticed that it was different. It was considerably smaller; they had taken many things off…

Twenty Seven Later
Yesterday I was meeting with a group of people. We have a new group that is being made available at our church, and a few of us are beta testing it. It allows the facilitators to go through the curriculum and make sure the process flows the way they would like. I volunteered to participate,…

Chicken Lessons
I shared a few months ago in this little blog about the Florida chicken we have in our little community. It’s not really a chicken but it sure acts like one. It’s a cute little black bird with a red beak, and when it walks, it does so with a chicken-like gait. Anyway, yesterday morning…

Visiting Dad
We’re wrapping up the visit with my stepmom today, heading to Tampa to visit my dad. He is buried in the Florida National Cemetery there. It’s been a while since we have been there, last December for the Wreath’s Across America Event. My dad isn’t really there, just his human shell, I know that he…

Fit Them In
I’m spending the next few days with family in town. My stepmom is here for a visit. She’s making her way around the country to see family and friends on kind of a whirlwind tour so to speak. We haven’t seen each other in over a year, in person at least so this visit is…

Pizza Rolls in Heaven
Yesterday was an anniversary. It’s hard to believe that my mom has been gone for 28 years now. It’s interesting how your inner self knows when these types of anniversaries come. You may not actively be aware of the date, but inside you are. Then, when you say the date out loud, you instantly remember…

You Remember
Children are the greatest and most precious gift that Father gives to us. They are to be cherished, loved, and protected above all else. If you are a parent, especially a mom like me, you remember pretty much every detail of when you gave birth to your children. It’s funny, I can’t remember some things…
