Every Day is a Birthday

Today is a special day, our granddaughter’s birthday. I can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by. She’s another year older, a young adult now, but I will never forget the first time I held that little baby. Today we celebrate Dakota. Happy Birthday to an amazing young lady 🙂 . You know what,…

It’s Simple – Thank a Vet

A very simple little blog this morning friends. On this Veteran’s Day, I simply say Thank You to all of the men and women who selflessly dedicated or continue to dedicate their lives to protecting the freedoms of our country.

Oldies but Goodies

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…

Imagining

For the first time in many months, my husband and I were able to catch a sunset from the beach last night. I know, those of you who don’t live near the water are thinking, “Oh how sad it’s been months since you saw a sunset from the beach”. However, when you live near a…

Walking and Remembering

There are some days when you realize, ahh, yes I needed this. Yesterday was one of those days. I had some things I wanted to do, kind of those honey-do list-type tasks. Made a run to our storage unit to drop off things that had been hanging around the house, picked up the Thanksgiving decor,…

Keep Asking

A long-time friend is visiting for a few days. He arrived late yesterday afternoon and we spent some time hearing about his drive down. He had stopped in Sarasota at the Ringling Brothers museum, (a place I really need to get to), and it was fascinating hearing about this family. I have memories of attending…

The Beauty in Front of Us

The past few days as I’ve glanced at social media, I’ve totally enjoyed looking at some amazing sunrise and sunset pictures. Friends have been in various locations from Colorado to IL and the skies have just been gorgeous. Even our local weather guys are sharing pictures of the skies over the last few days, commenting…

Staying Connected

Last night while my husband and I were cooking dinner my phone rang. It was our granddaughter and when I answered I put it on speakerphone so we could both chat with her. She was calling to let us know she had just found out she was selected for a new part-time job she had…

The Real Thing

I’ve never been much of a fan of Halloween, even when I was a kid it wasn’t a favorite. I really began to dislike it when the costumes got to be so gory and creepy, nah it’s not for me. But I think more than the over-the-top scary movie-type costumes, it’s the whole dressing up…
