The 39th

Today is a special day. My husband and I celebrate our 39th anniversary. I’m typing this from one of my favorite places, sitting by the sea. We got up early to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic with a cup of coffee. I have to say, I’ve never seen the sea so calm. As…

The Tile Craze

Over the past year or so, I’ve watched the Mahjong craze grow and grow. It’s all over social media; many of my friends have taken up the game, and at our church on Wednesdays, there is a faithful crowd that enjoys almost three hours of play. Even in our small community, there is a group…

Rainy Days and Sundays

Didn’t the chorus of that popular Carpenters song just run through your head when you read the title of today’s little blog? You can thank me later for planting that tune in your head for the balance of the day 🙂 . Yesterday was Sunday, and it was indeed a rainy one here in SW…

We Will Be Them

I’ve always been an old soul. My mom dubbed me that a very long time ago. I’ve always loved being around seniors. They are special people; they have our history within them. Last night we had one of our Summer Soirees with our parish family. It’s an opportunity to go to dinner in the off-season…

Six Days

I took some time off this past week. It was nice. I celebrated my birthday with good friends, sitting by the water, fishing pole in hand for most of the day, and relaxing. The balance of the six days, well, I did much of the same. I can spend hours just sitting on a dock…

Happy Birthday America

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Have a wonderful day, everyone. God Bless America!

250

Yes, we have a pretty major event happening tomorrow, July 4th. I remember our country’s 200th birthday back in 1976. I was actually in Germany; my dad was stationed there. The base did an amazing job making sure that the service members and their families had a celebration. I can’t believe that was 50 years…

The History

One of my team members has been working on a project for us. As we are getting ready to take down and rebuild our church, we have been sharing much of the history of our little church on social media. It’s been interesting to learn all about how it began. The first service was actually…
