Snarkasaurus Rex

Great title for this little blog right?! There is a story behind it and I’ll share enough that you get the picture, although, “the names have been changed to protect the innocent” 🙂 . Seriously though, there is a story behind this. Recently, in several social media groups that I’m in, the level of snarkiness…

Toby Update

About a month ago, well actually it was one month ago today, I shared in this little blog that I was going to help a neighbor with his handsome King Charles Spaniel named Toby. You see Toby’s “dad”, our neighbor, his wife passed away last July. Well, Toby was devoted to his mom. When he…

My Wish

I guess you all know by now that I tend to toss a song into this little blog every now and then. I don’t have a system for picking them, I’m not that professional, 🙂 , no most of the time I’ve recently listened to the song and it touches me so much that I…

Our buildings only have four units in each, so again we’re pretty small compared to the larger communities in Florida. It’s not a secret that the population here in Florida is increasing,…

I’ve given a touch of history about the 12 days of Christmas in this little blog, and today we officially mark the end of Christmas as we celebrate the Epiphany. In the first centuries, Christians chose this day to celebrate the various manifestations, or “epiphanies” of Jesus’…

Our next-door neighbor is what we call a seasonal resident. He comes down usually in September and then heads back to MA in April or May for the summer. When we moved in about 18 months ago, he was here with his wife who was battling cancer, she had been doing so for quite some…

It was great to see so much activity around it, and so many of you participating as well in your own communities. We also had our little community holiday gathering with great food and socializing. We finished the evening…

Precious Wreaths

Today we will participate in one of my favorite holiday traditions, the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony. No matter where we have been in this country, we have participated. This organization is, in my opinion, simply one of the BEST. Their mission is simple to lay a wreath at the headstone of every veteran. This…
