Better Days
I’ve seen several videos, that have just been taken over the past week or so, of areas affected by Ian. They show the coastline with houses in rubble, overhead shots showing the familiar “blue tarps” covering roofs and entire sections of a town that is simply gone. We continue to see piles and piles of…

My Bean Bag Frog
When I was growing up one of my favorite “stuffed animals” was my bean bag frog. My mom bought it for me when we were leaving one of our favorite restaurants one evening. We didn’t have a lot growing up, so getting a treat like this was very special. I have two older brothers, and…

The Eagles
One of the most beautiful sites to see down here in SW Florida is the symbol of our nation, the Eagle. It’s not uncommon to be driving along and look up to see one flying, or, as we saw not long after being here, one sitting on a golf course with its breakfast 🙂 If…

Blessing of the Pets
Yesterday we took some time to participate in the blessing of the pets service at our church. Even though we don’t ourselves have pets, we are kind of surrogate parents to a few of our neighbors fur babies, so we invited them to join us. These services are always fun, just seeing the variety of…

Recovery
Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

Ghost
A little music with your morning coffee. I apologize ahead of time for the refrain that will be running through your head all day…or maybe I don’t, LOL! Keep leaning in friends, this Ghost is with us always 🙂 Romans 15:13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so…

Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy Name,thy kingdom come,thy will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive…

What Can I Do
Short little blog today, many of you are probably thankful for that, LOL! So many of you have reached out and asked “what can I do?”. I have to admit I’ve not watched the TV or the news since last Thursday, which might be a good thing. I’ve been focused on the needs of our…

Cleaning Up
Yes, the clean-up has begun after Ian. Yesterday as we began reinstalling the gate arms to our community, we simply could not believe how beautiful the morning was. What a difference a day makes right?! The sky was an amazing blue, the temperature was about 71 degrees and the air was “clean” if you know…

Ian
As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…
