Where It Started

If you’ve been following this little blog for awhile you know that it was originally supposed to be a little book, not a little blog. Well, I have all of the chicken scratches, loose papers, post-it notes, etc. still in a binder in my office. This morning as I was struggling with what to say…

Do You Know Me?

We had dinner with some friends last night. We’ve known them for several years and we’ve shared about our lives before moving to Florida.

Let Them Do What They Do

I was talking with a close friend a few days ago, just catching up. It was a wonderful chat and as usual, we had to hang up way too soon. I was pulling into work and she was heading to the office as well so I didn’t get the opportunity to share with her one…

Furfriends Community

We’re moving into fall and here in SW Florida that means the return of many “seasonal residents”. We lament the days when we see the “car trucks” returning. These are the trucks that are transporting the vehicles as their owners fly to their winter residences. The return of the “snowbirds” as we call them, well…

Take A Break, Enjoy Some Music…

Over the last few years, this little blog has become more than I initially intended. At first, I thought I would just share a picture of a beautiful sunrise or sunset along with a scripture verse. I did that for a while and over time I began to share more personal thoughts and more about…
