Game Night and Memories
Yesterday was a day filled with little to-do’s checked off the list. Did some trimming and watering of plants, repotted one that wasn’t doing so well, cleaned a closet and some file drawers, grocery store run, you get the idea. I looked up at the clock and realized it was 5:00pm already. My husband and…

Hate it When I’m Stupid
Ah yes, the many times I’ve said this over the years. I’m guessing we’ve all said it at one time or another. You know, you make a simple mistake and you think “Well that was stupid”. I guess it’s human nature. I found myself saying it yesterday, out loud to a group of wonderful volunteers…

Turnin’ Back Time
If you are like me you think back on times when you probably didn’t make the best decisions in your life. Oh, ya I had some doozies. I found myself this morning wondering how my life might have been if those decisions oh so long ago were different. I reminded myself, we can’t go backward…

Timing and Remembrance
Yesterday I mentioned that I felt Father was reminding me of the gift of freedom we have, using the wreath as a symbol. The timing of that message, one that was reminding me to be thankful for our vets, well, His timing is usually pretty precise. This morning I’m remembering one of our vets. Last…

The organization has a wonderful history, and its mission is simple, each Christmas season they strive to ensure every veteran’s grave has a wreath placed on it. As their…

As We Grow
Once a month our little community holds a happy hour. Residents sign up to host it, which means decorating as you choose or don’t decorate, setting out the silverware and plates, and setting up the area for beverages. Everyone brings a dish to share and whatever they want to drink. Most people bring enough beverages…

Hands On
Oh, it’s Saturday once more, ahhhh 🙂 . You all know I’ve shared many times before in this little blog that I really do love this day of the week. It’s just a totally different mindset on this day, isn’t it? I’m spending the morning with my canning buddies. Our Christmas Market is three weeks…

Real or Fake Tree?
Oh, the variety of Christmas catalogs have started to arrive 🙂 . Last night when we picked up the mail there was an advertisement for Balsam Hill. If you are like me you can waste hours just looking through this catalog. I love to look at the beautifully decorated spaces, they put Christmas literally everywhere…

Closer Together
My husband and I have been married for almost 37 years, and when I take into account the dating before that, we’ve been together just about 40 years. Like most couples we’ve had our ups and downs, our “for better or worse” moments, we have two wonderful children and two amazing grandchildren. And…he is, in…
