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.

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…

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…

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…

Transforming
Yesterday was our annual Christmas market at Church. I mentioned in this little blog a few weeks ago how all the proceeds raised from sales at this market go to our community outreach. Of course this event is very festive and there is Christmas everywhere, it’s also a labor of love for so many. From…

A Special Lady
I can’t believe how fast time flies. I know there is a saying the older we get, the faster time passes, well now that I’m old, I get it 🙂 . It seems like yesterday when I saw you for the first time. You were incredibly perfect. I will never forget your first cry, your…
