Some Gave All
Today we remember those who have dedicated their lives to protecting this nation and the freedoms we all enjoy. In the beginning, many had no choice, however, most did it willingly, and some paid the ultimate price in doing so. I offer this prayer that we lifted yesterday at church to all those who have…

The Backroads
The last few days my husband and I have been traveling. Our grandson graduated from high school this past weekend. You can learn a little more about him in this little blog.

A Day in the Glades
My husband and I have been trying to spend a little more time discovering the scenic spots around us. Yesterday we took a road trip to the Everglades. Just a little over an hour away is a bounty of beauty found in several Florida National Parks. We took the 27-mile ride on Loop Road in…

A Song Makes a Difference
Sometimes just stepping away from what you are doing and jumping into some music can change everything. Have you ever noticed that you can hear a song and your entire mood change? I mean that goes for making your mood better OR worse. Case in point, yesterday I was at the gym and the music…

Waitin’ for the Babies
It’s springtime and we all know what that means, there are baby animals everywhere. My husband and I have been shewing away a pair of doves from our front door area for the last few weeks. The female is trying to build a nest and has been very stubborn about it. They finally gave up…

Weekend Wanderings
If you’ve been reading this little blog for very long you know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Well, ya I know, it’s a favorite day of the week for most people, for many obvious reasons. It’s typically a slower day for me and a day to get out and enjoy the…
