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…

The Sun Rises
We’ve been up north visiting family over the last few days. To say the weather has taken some getting used to might be a tad of an understatement. We went from sun and 85 to rain, I mean like buckets coming down rain and mid 40’s. I mentioned to someone yesterday that it’s not the…

Unspoken Love
I’ve been thinking a lot about my parents lately. Not quite sure why, but I found myself thinking about them again last night and even had some memories of a favorite uncle. You see each of them had a huge influence on my life. They weren’t perfect, oh my no, but they were strong in…

Seasons
Believe it or not, the weather the last few days here in SW Florida has been kind of Fall-like. It was cloudy and gray yesterday and pretty cool, (ok, relatively speaking). The wind was blowing and there actually were some leaves falling on the ground. Ok, I know that is stretching it a bit because…

No Sleep, Know Father
If you stopped in to read this little blog yesterday morning, you know I had a rough night of sleep the night before. I woke up a little after midnight and could not fall back asleep. My mind wandered everywhere, heck I even replayed childhood experiences at one point. I managed to fall back asleep,…

When Sleep Evades
Morning friends…well, as the title of this little blog indicates, yes, last night was a restless night. It was one of those nights when you wake up after only being asleep for a few hours and your mind starts running. You think about everything. My goodness, I even thought about memories from when I was…

Little Gems
Sometimes when you least expect it, you stumble across little things, little gems that just make you smile. Our church has a small thrift store, we call it the Church Mouse. People drop off “gently used” items that they no longer need, you know clothing, housewares, furniture, sports items, you get the idea. The volunteers…
