When Words Elude

There are days, as I’ve said before, when I come to this little blog with thoughts of what to share, only to begin typing and they don’t really seem to come together. I find that happens usually when I’m tired, and this morning would be one of those mornings. It was a very busy weekend…

Keep Going

This morning something rare happened, I actually had to wake up to my alarm going off. Most mornings, either my husband or I wake up way before and we are getting the morning started. Not so this morning. Now granted we got to bed later than usual so that had something to do with being…

Imagining

For the first time in many months, my husband and I were able to catch a sunset from the beach last night. I know, those of you who don’t live near the water are thinking, “Oh how sad it’s been months since you saw a sunset from the beach”. However, when you live near a…

We Can Indeed

Yesterday our team of gourmet canners finished up our 2023 inventory. Heavenly Fruited Rice and Savory Spiced Nuts rounded out the selections for this year. We are pretty well set for next week’s Christmas Market. A big shout out to the team of ladies who helped make product, label, count, and just be here to…

Unexpected Lights

My husband and I had dinner with some friends last night and by the time we got home it was almost dark. Not surprising given the change of the seasons now, of course, that will be even more so after this weekend, but that discussion is for another little blog post 🙂 . Anyway, we…

As We Grow

Once a month our little community holds a happy hour. Residents sign up to host it, which means decorating as you choose or don’t decorate, setting out the silverware and plates, and setting up the area for beverages. Everyone brings a dish to share and whatever they want to drink. Most people bring enough beverages…

Hands On

Oh, it’s Saturday once more, ahhhh 🙂 . You all know I’ve shared many times before in this little blog that I really do love this day of the week. It’s just a totally different mindset on this day, isn’t it? I’m spending the morning with my canning buddies. Our Christmas Market is three weeks…

When the Memory Fades

Lately, I’ve been thinking about my Father-in-Law. He passed away many years ago having battled Alzheimer’s for many, many years. The anniversary of his death is coming up in a few days and maybe that’s why he’s been on my mind. We also spent some time with family last weekend and to say his genes…
