Simple & True
It’s June which usually means wedding season. I’ve seen many beautiful pictures on social media of recent ceremonies. Each is a little different from the next but all so beautiful. Last weekend at church one of our parishioners was sharing that she and her daughter were going to a bridal show that afternoon. Her daughter,…

The Children in Us All
Last night my husband and I stopped on the way home from work to grab a bite to eat. Many of the local restaurants run wonderful specials during the off-season here. It gives the locals a chance to visit new places without the crazy crowds, and in turn, we help the small business owners to…

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…

The Lights
Last night, or should I say early this morning much of our country saw what was perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime sight, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Even way down here in SW Florida, there are pictures of the most dazzling pink and purple sky at midnight. In other pictures I’ve seen from…

They Are the Future
I think for as long as we can probably all remember, at one time or another we’ve looked at our youth and said, “They are our future”. Admittedly that comment is not always said positively. We talk about millennials and how they are tied to electronic devices, would rather text than have a conversation, they…

Derby Day
I’m pretty sure that I shared this last year on this fun day, but hey it’s ok to share it again I think. My mom loved to watch the Derby. I think she would have loved to attend it and she would have been beautiful in one of those elegant hats and spring dresses. Oh…

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…
