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…

The Beauty in Front of Us
The past few days as I’ve glanced at social media, I’ve totally enjoyed looking at some amazing sunrise and sunset pictures. 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…

The Sun Rises
We’ve been up north visiting family over the last few days. To say the weather has taken some getting used to might be a tad of an understatement. We went from sun and 85 to rain, I mean like buckets coming down rain and mid 40’s. I mentioned to someone yesterday that it’s not the…

Little Gems
Sometimes when you least expect it, you stumble across little things, little gems that just make you smile. Our church has a small thrift store, we call it the Church Mouse. People drop off “gently used” items that they no longer need, you know clothing, housewares, furniture, sports items, you get the idea. The volunteers…

Eat the Cake
Seems like an odd title for this little blog given that just yesterday I was talking about working out again. Getting back into the gym and getting back on the wagon with the fitness journey, ya that goes along with eating cake right? The timing is interesting yes, however, God has a way of timing…

Da Wagon
I’ve been going at a crazy pace for the last eight weeks or so…Well, I’m always going at a crazy pace, but the last few months have been even crazier. The lead-up to the conference is always busy, and some things have to move down on the to-do list. Unfortunately, this year, I let my…
