Today I Give Thanks

As I mentioned yesterday, I want to devote this little blog this week to giving thanks for one thing each day. Yesterday I gave thanks for all of you and your support of this little blog 🙂 . Last night I stopped at the store on the way home from work. As I was walking…

A Week of Thanks

I’ve shared here before that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. There is just something about the coming together of family and friends to give thanks for the gifts we have in our lives. Of course, the delightful smells and tastes of Thanksgiving don’t hurt either 🙂 . This weekend I saw wonderful pictures…

Give in to the Colors

The weather is changing here in SW Florida. A major cool front is coming through and we’ll see some 50’s this weekend. Ya, ya, I know, those of you up north are already expecting snow. It is a relative thing you know, the cold that is. The time change has the sun rising and setting…

It’s His Day & I’m Blessed

Today is my husband’s birthday. He’s been up north the past few days visiting friends, (a good friend turned 80 last week), and family. He’s heading home today and I’m looking forward to having him back. As I sat down to write this little blog this morning asking Father what message I could share, I…

Through the Ages

Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of our granddaughter. I mentioned in this little blog that it’s crazy how quickly time is moving these days. I guess it’s true that the older we get the faster it goes. Oh, thank you by the way, for wishing my granddaughter a Happy Birthday 🙂 . We had another…

Stop and Look Around

Over the past week or so I’ve been seeing some beautiful pictures on social media. Everyone is posting pictures of the change of the seasons. Now some of those changes, while beautiful, hmm, I’m ok with seeing from a distance, (the snow for instance). I’ve been seeing gorgeous pictures of the fall colors in the…

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…
