Summer Soiree
Last night we enjoyed one of our first summer gatherings. I think I’ve mentioned these little outings before. In the summer, our church organizes one monthly dinner with a local restaurant. Parishioners volunteer to work with the restaurant with a set menu and price and to host the evening. During the “off-season,” as we call…

Pssst…It Will Get Out
Last week a friend of mine sent me a text message. He said that my daily posts of this little blog were not showing up in his morning social media feed. He used to see them not long after I published the little blog. Now, he said, “It’s several days later before I see them”.…

The Dads No Longer Here
I have mixed emotions about Father’s Day. I love celebrating my husband and all that he is to our family. He is without a doubt the best dad, Opa, and Godfather to our family. He can have a conversation about anything, he loves to get in and play with our grandkids, well our kids too…

The Roots In the Window
My husband and I were chatting last night before dinner. I wandered over to the bay window in our kitchen to look at an aloe plant that sits on our kitchen table. It really does love where it’s positioned, it seems like every day there is a new leaf appearing. It has grown to be…

Checking In
We’re on day five I think, of a very large “swath” of rain that has settled over South Florida. It pretty much starts on one side of the state and moves all the way across to the other side. Usually by the afternoon drizzles have turned to buckets being dumped from the sky. Ya, let’s…

Simple & True
It’s June which usually means wedding season. I’ve seen many beautiful pictures on social media of recent ceremonies. Each is a little different from the next but all so beautiful. Last weekend at church one of our parishioners was sharing that she and her daughter were going to a bridal show that afternoon. Her daughter,…

Changing the Sheets
One of my least favorite chores at home is to change the sheets on the bed. I don’t have a good reason really, I mean it’s not difficult. I just dread pulling off our heavy comforter, then the back and forth from one side to the other, making sure I don’t have more blanket than…

Simple Saturday Words
It’s a rainy morning here in SW Florida, don’t get me wrong I’m not upset about it, we so need the rain. It’s supposed to do this for a good part of the morning and that makes me super happy. As I sat on the lanai this morning talking with Father and watching the rain…

The Children in Us All
Last night my husband and I stopped on the way home from work to grab a bite to eat. Many of the local restaurants run wonderful specials during the off-season here. It gives the locals a chance to visit new places without the crazy crowds, and in turn, we help the small business owners to…

You Never Know
One of the things that I enjoy the most about my job is helping people through the life decisions they are making. I’m here to make sure their wedding day pulls off without a hitch. When parents reach out about baptizing their children, I talk them through the logistics and get to prep all of…
