Godparents
Yesterday on the way home my husband and I were able to have dinner with our Godson and it was wonderful. Even though we all live in Florida, we don’t get together enough, and we decided last night that needed to change. Unlike many Godparents, we aren’t the aunt and uncle, or the friends that…

Doc
Last night my husband and I had dinner with some friends, the first time with this couple. We enjoyed learning more about each other, we knew the basics, where they were from originally, what they did before moving to Naples, etc. But, we learned more about their backgrounds, where they grew up, family, etc. During…

It’s Your Birthday
Well, it’s not mine but it is our youngest’s birthday. Our daughter Lauren celebrates today, (well she’s been celebrating all month, but who’s counting). Of course, we’re wishing her the best of birthdays! And…I have it on pretty good authority, like from her, that she will be spending this afternoon relaxing over her latest lego…

Last night was one of those nights, we were listening to the Bobby Darin channel, and they were playing some really great songs by some great artists. Dinner…

During its heyday, this event saw five families all piled into a panel truck, making the trip to our favorite tree farm.…

Made with Love
We spent the weekend making our place festive for Christmas. It’s always fun to open the tubs to see what decorations are inside. Since this is only the second year in this home, we’re still trying to determine the best place to put things. As we pulled out the different items, not only did we…

A Special Guy
God brings people into our lives for a reason. Over 35 years ago I was introduced to this guy at the company where I worked, he was the new accountant who’d been hired. He was nice, seemed to love to smile, dressed very professionally, (back in those days you actually dressed up for work, you…

In the Kitchen
Have you ever noticed when you have a gathering, whether it’s family or friends or a combination of the two, everyone migrates to the kitchen? Even if you have a welcoming space in your family room or dining room, everyone still huddles in the kitchen. In the past, we’ve intentionally put snacks in other rooms…

A Special Lady
I can’t believe how fast time flies. I know there is a saying the older we get, the faster time passes, well now that I’m old, I get it 🙂 . It seems like yesterday when I saw you for the first time. You were incredibly perfect. I will never forget your first cry, your…
