A Tuna Sandwich

Great title for this little blog today eh? As I often do these days, I forgot to take something out for dinner yesterday. So, when we got home I was pondering the options. There were a couple of things I could have put together, but when I mentioned making “tuna grinders”, oh my husband piped…

Every Day is a Birthday

Today is a special day, our granddaughter’s birthday. I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by. She’s another year older, a young adult now, but I will never forget the first time I held that little baby. Today we celebrate Dakota. Happy Birthday to an amazing young lady 🙂 . You know what,…

It’s Simple – Thank a Vet

A very simple little blog this morning friends. On this Veteran’s Day, I simply say Thank You to all of the men and women who selflessly dedicated or continue to dedicate their lives to protecting the freedoms of our country.

Walking and Remembering

There are some days when you realize, ahh, yes I needed this. Yesterday was one of those days. I had some things I wanted to do, kind of those honey-do list-type tasks. Made a run to our storage unit to drop off things that had been hanging around the house, picked up the Thanksgiving decor,…

Keep Asking

A long-time friend is visiting for a few days. He arrived late yesterday afternoon and we spent some time hearing about his drive down. He had stopped in Sarasota at the Ringling Brothers museum, (a place I really need to get to), and it was fascinating hearing about this family. I have memories of attending…

Friends have been in various locations from Colorado to IL and the skies have just been gorgeous. Even our local weather guys are sharing pictures of the skies over the last few days, commenting…

Game Night and Memories

Yesterday was a day filled with little to-do’s checked off the list. Did some trimming and watering of plants, repotted one that wasn’t doing so well, cleaned a closet and some file drawers, grocery store run, you get the idea. I looked up at the clock and realized it was 5:00pm already. My husband and…

A Wreath – A Message

Last night after dinner I took the opportunity to order our annual Christmas wreaths. You see we’ve been supporting Wreaths Across America for over 15 years. The organization has a wonderful history, and its mission is simple, each Christmas season they strive to ensure every veteran’s grave has a wreath placed on it. As their…

Closer Together

My husband and I have been married for almost 37 years, and when I take into account the dating before that, we’ve been together just about 40 years. Like most couples we’ve had our ups and downs, our “for better or worse” moments, we have two wonderful children and two amazing grandchildren. And…he is, in…
