When You’re Not Good Enough
This morning as I sat with Father for my morning chat, I asked Him to give me words to express what I was feeling. Sometimes I know what I want to say but just not quite how to say it. As I sat and shared my thoughts I found that I talked myself right through…

Comfort Food – Mmmm
I’ve noticed over the past week or so, everyone is starting to dig the fall decorations out, (even though the season doesn’t officially start until later this week). The pumpkins and fall leaves, acorns, gourds, and the Indian corn are starting to appear on doorsteps, and around homes, it’s quite festive. Even though you all…

Land that I Love
If you dropped in on this little blog yesterday you know that I was enjoying a day of a little pampering and downtime. Believe it or not, I stuck to that plan, which is something to be said indeed 🙂 . I got the hair and toes taken care of, did manage to read a…

Uncomfortable?
When our kids were little, my husband and I would say grace each meal and we taught our kids to bow their heads as we gave thanks. As they got older they began to say the prayer with us, and they knew whenever we sat down to eat, wherever we were we would say our…

Growing Up Too Fast
A few days ago my granddaughter called me to fill me in on her first day of classes at the community college where she is enrolled. She is pursuing a career in vet medicine and like all grandparents, we are pretty darn proud. She’s also applying for a part-time position on campus in the vet…

A Fish and a Sign
One of the fun things about living in SW FL, well, living anywhere by the water, is being able to fish pretty much whenever you can muster the time. I’ve always loved this activity. Probably comes from growing up with two older brothers, and of course, my dad loved to fish as well. I’m not…

Rose Descendants
Some friends of ours have been on a trip over the last few weeks. They’ve been sending pictures back from the various destinations and we’ve been sharing their journey through these wonderful photos. Sunsets over the English Channel, gorgeous flowers in Kinsale Ireland, the Highlands of Scotland, and of course Loch Ness just to name…

Simple Saturday
Ahhh, the weekend, ’nuff said right? As I sat on the lanai this morning with my morning chat with Father I thought about these last weeks of summer. Soon school will be starting, fall sports, for us in SW Florida, increased traffic, and the hustle and bustle all the seasonal changes bring. For now, though,…

A Buddy
If you read this little blog you know that our grandson is quite the character. He just turned 18, but he’s a still tiny “kid”, and he has most of his school wrapped around his little finger. You see our grandson Austin has Down Syndrome and it is so true what you’ve heard about these…

If it Ain’t Broke…
Last night my husband and I were making dinner. Caesar salad was on as a side dish and as I was making my dad’s famous dressing, my husband was washing and readying the romaine. We have one of those “salad spinners” where you put the chopped lettuce that has been washed, into the bowl, toss…
