From NICU to New Graduate

We all know how quickly time seems to fly by, especially these days. I remember as a kid just wishing my hardest for Friday to come so we could have the weekend off from school, and wishing for the school year to end so we could have the summer to play with friends. Now, I…

Golf Bags, Kids and Memories

Over the weekend my husband and I made a trip to our storage unit to pick up my golf clubs. Yes, they’ve been tucked away there since we moved down here full-time. Sad I know, but time has simply gotten away from me when it comes to playing golf. Well, that changes next week when…

Fried Chicken & Perry Mason

Now that is an interesting title for a blog post. I’m guessing you are wondering where the heck this one came from right? It really is kind of funny how it came to be. Last night my husband and I were driving home from work. I realized I didn’t take anything out for dinner so…

Keep in Touch

Last night we had dinner with our Godson. He moved to Tampa several years ago so we, even after all these years, aren’t that far apart.

So it’s been a pretty eventful week around here. First and foremost, Thank You, Father, again for keeping our granddaughter safe this week. Thank you to our family nearby who were there to lend support in so many ways and thank you to friends who reached out via phone and text and were on the…

Mom McQueen

Last week several of our family shared a post on social media about my mother-in-law. She was a pretty special lady indeed with a big heart, an impish disposition at times, a fear of nothing really, and a love for helping others. Yes, I was lucky to call Mary Priscilla McQueen my mother-in-law. The woman…

Mom

I’ve been thinking about her a lot lately. I think I’ve shared a little about the small in stature but large as a grizzly bear when it came to her family lady who was my mom. She had a voice that was so low she was mistaken for a man on the phone many times,…
