The Ladies

Yesterday was our final day of preparing products for our booth at the upcoming Christmas Market we are hosting. This is the 68th annual event for us and I think the Gourmet Canners have had a space almost since its beginning. I have to admit I was a little worried that we would get everything…

Happiness in a Tune

As I wrote in this little blog last week, I had family in town last weekend. My brother and sister-in-law were here for a few days and as I shared, we had a wonderful time. We took them for a sunset cruise around Naples and after a short rain shower, watched a beautiful sunset. As…

The Time Together

We’ve had family in town for the last few days. My brother, (who you all prayed for a few weeks ago), and sister-in-law came in for a long weekend. It was time spent doing the things you like to do when guests are in your Southwest FL town. We did a sunset cruise, ate at…

Sunday Thoughts

Yesterday my husband and I attended the funeral of a parishioner who had become a friend over the past few years. Admittedly I’m closer to his daughter as I see her more frequently. George was 97 and lived such a wonderful life of service and faith. Not long after meeting him years ago, we learned…

Little Gifts

Yesterday morning as we were leaving for work I headed downstairs to drop my backpack and purse into the car ahead of my husband. As I closed the trunk, I turned to see our neighbors heading back from their morning walk with their fur babies, my buddies Milton and Toby. I’ve shared how I’m kind…

Furfriends Community

We’re moving into fall and here in SW Florida that means the return of many “seasonal residents”. We lament the days when we see the “car trucks” returning. These are the trucks that are transporting the vehicles as their owners fly to their winter residences. The return of the “snowbirds” as we call them, well…

Simple Thoughts

It’s Saturday, and you all know these are my lazy mornings, if there are such things anymore. Yes, I’m posting this little blog a little later than usual, but that’s okay, I guess. This morning I’ve just been pondering things. I spent time with Father in the quiet of the morning, and just keep thinking…

Many Hands

Yesterday was a whirlwind day. I was working on a big project at work, well several big projects, and things were buzzing. One of my team members made arrangements for several parishioners, actually, five volunteered to help us with a large mailing we were putting together. Can I just say they were amazing 🙂 .…

Be There

I realized this morning as I logged into my website that I’ve written and shared 725 of these little blogs. It seems like yesterday when I created this one-page website, and pushed out my first post. That was over two years ago now, wow, time really does fly by. I am so blessed by the…

For The Love Of Music

I’m in a text group with about a dozen friends. We support each other in many ways, lifting prayer when needed, sharing funny stories, giving kudos when our kids do great things, you get the idea. It’s like having your best friends in school, only now we’re all over the country, but yet still connected…
