Back Home
Today is an exciting day! We are back in our church! The work that has been completed over these past almost eight weeks is simply amazing. The clergy, staff, parishioners, and contractors have worked endlessly to keep things going. The moving of furniture, cutting out drywall, tearing up flooring, and working in temporary spaces, it…

Celebrate
As you all know yesterday was my husband’s birthday. Thank you all for sending special wishes. We are so humbled, by so many people who he has never formally met, wishing him a Happy Birthday! We are blessed indeed. Last night we went to dinner at our favorite restaurant, The Oyster Society on Marco. It’s…

The Water
Last night my husband and I went to the beach to watch the sunset for the first time since Ian came through. As we drove to one of our usual beach access points we could still see the results of Ian so clearly. The first access point was still closed, as were several more along…

Remembering Our Vets
As you enjoy your morning coffee, please take a moment to remember our incredible Veterans. All gave some, and some gave all. The military has been a part of my life since I was born. I’m an Airforce kid, my dad served for 25 years after he became a citizen of this great nation. My…

Special Gifts
So, recently I shared the story about our family piano, and how it made its way from Illinois down here to Florida. It sits now in our family/living room, has been tuned, and I can’t wait to teach myself how to play, (maybe with the help of “learning how to play piano for dummies”). What…

Traditions
We’ve passed the first of November now and you can feel the shift in the air of everyone thinking about Christmas. This year more than usual it’s got me thinking about traditions. I didn’t have many of these growing up, but we did develop many with our kids, and now even our grandkids. For years,…

Little Notes
Before we moved to Florida full-time, hubs and I would vacation here every year. You see my dad lived in Florida for a very long time, he actually built a home on Marco very long ago, and that’s where my love for the Island started. So we would come here to visit and even after…

Canning
I’m headed out to spend the morning with some very talented ladies at our church. I’ve been working on the “gourmet canners” committee for the last few years, and this morning, it’s Red Pepper Jelly 🙂 . I’ve never made red pepper jelly, but I hear it’s really good and I’m anxious to know more…

101
Wow, I realized this morning that yesterday’s little blog about Tommy, well that was the 100th little blog I’ve posted. Thank you friends for taking a small part of your day to read my musings. Over the past 100 or so days I’ve tried to share events in my life that continue to remind me…
