Picture This

Like most couples, we have many pictures around our home. Pictures of kids and grandkids growing up over the years. Pictures with friends, pictures of my husband and I at all stages of our life placed all throughout our home. We also have various pictures of our parents to round out the displays. Last night,…

The Garden

The past few weeks I’ve been enjoying watching the updates from friends and family as they plant their gardens. For many, it’s actually their first time putting in a garden, and it’s been fun to watch their excitement grow as their crop grows. Many of my friends are starting gardens for the first time with…

Hug and Heal

This past weekend we hosted our annual Kentucky Derby party for our little community. We all gather at our community clubhouse, everyone pitches in with food and we have a good time catching up on the latest, and of course, watching the race. One of our neighbors has not been well for quite some time…

A Picture – A Message

A few days ago my brother sent me a picture, to use for this little blog. He mentioned in his text, “not sure if this is quality enough for your blog, but I thought it was cool”. I glanced at the picture and thought it was beautiful, the sun rising over the snow in IL that morning. I…

Just So

Yesterday afternoon my husband and I hauled over the last of the Christmas items in storage. With each tub that was opened, another area of our home was looking like Christmas. I took the lid off a tub and found the little tree that we bought last year when we traveled back north. We had…

The smiles, cheers, laughter, and hugs, they were everywhere, and that is just the beginning. Today the majority of the group will arrive and then ya, well…

You Can’t Describe That Kind of Love

Yesterday morning I was blessed with a call. My phone rang and I noticed it was my oldest, it was early so I grabbed it hoping all was ok. As I said hi, the voice on the other end was not my daughter. It was my grandson calling to remind me that he was a…

Just Look Up

My husband and I stopped in at one of our local community restaurants just down the road from our house. We had already had a celebratory dinner a few nights ago, so it was nice to just stop in at this little place where, like the famous Cheers bar, “everyone knows your name”. We had…

If You Just Believe

We all have our favorite Christmas movies, Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, Elf, there are so many to choose from. One of my favorites is Polar Express. The story, of course, is wonderful but it’s the music or at least one particular song that does it for me. That…
