Giving Thanks – Always

Last night on the way home from work, we stopped at the beach to watch the sunset. I have to admit it was a beautiful evening, with very little wind, and the beach, surprisingly was not that crowded. There were groups of friends who, like us had come down just to watch the sun set…

The Giving – The Hope

The start of the Holiday week, Thanksgiving is here already. As I sat down to write this little blog this morning I was going through the events of this coming week. Even though we don’t cook for a large group anymore, there is still prep work for what we do now on Thanksgiving. Last year…

Yesterday as I was working it hit me that Thanksgiving is just a week away. Where in the world is the time going these days I ask in unbelief!

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. The freedoms that we share, enjoy, and many times take for granted, are NOT free.…

Oldies but Goodies

A few weeks ago I saw an ad for a concert at the local Casino. The ad featured a familiar album cover. Oh, the memories the picture brought back and I instantly started playing some of the songs in my head. It didn’t take long for me to yell to my husband, “We have to…

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…
