A Special Boy
Wow, it’s hard to believe…eighteen years ago God blessed our family with a very special little boy, our grandson Austin. I was fortunate to be there when he was born. He was a premie, so we didn’t get to see him long before they whisked him from the room. I just remember the doctor holding…

Special Olympics for Special People
My social media “memories” over the past few days have been filled with pictures and videos from several years ago. You see my grandson Austin, was born with Down Syndrome and has participated in the Special Olympics many times. As I’ve been remembering these moments over the past few days, I’ve also seen pictures and…

Take a Walk
During the week my morning routine is pretty set. I rise pretty early, write this little blog, do an initial check of email, and head to my little workout place. I think I’ve mentioned before that if I don’t check the workout off my list in the morning, then it won’t get done that day.…

Diggin’ in the Dirt
One of the things that I miss most about living in the Midwest is the planting of flowers and a small garden in the Spring. I loved how the new plants in pots all around just made things look fresh and new. The garden, though very small, was therapy for me. I love digging in…

Coffee Time with Father
I’ve mentioned many times in this little blog that one of my most favorite times is Saturday mornings. Things are very quiet around our little community. When I sit on the lanai, (patio), I can hear the wildlife, the birds are chatting, and an occasional otter can be seen looking for breakfast in our little…

Remembrance and Honor
I saw a post on social media yesterday by a veteran. It read:“This weekend is NOT for us vets. Don’t thank us. This weekend IS for our brothers and sisters who paid the ultimate price, who didn’t come home alive. THANK THEM.” There really isn’t much else I can add to that. Memorial Day is…

I must say, things went stellar and the homemade cakes, beautiful fresh strawberries, oh my, ya this is gonna be good 🙂 .…

Strawberry Shortcake
I’ve never made it from scratch, and I’ve only eaten it a few times, but today I’m joining some other volunteers at our church as we make about 200 mini strawberry shortcakes. We’re serving these tomorrow after our church services, to celebrate Pentecost. I’m a little nervous, that’s a bunch of cakes and we’re making…

Midwest Sky
If you’ve been reading this little blog for the past few days you know that we traveled back home to celebrate our granddaughter’s graduation this past weekend. It’s been a great trip catching up with family and friends and of course the celebration of her big day! My husband and I had some time while…

Commencement
I’ve been to many a graduation in my life, and one thing you can always count on is never knowing how the commencement speech will turn out. Will the speaker drag on, will they try to be humorous, will they be sincere or will they “knock it out of the park”. Through the many graduations…
