Field Trip Friends

Last year during Hurricane, and the days that followed, I shared with you all how a group of amazing people came to know each other as we worked to help survivors of the storm. We are part of a wonderful organization, the Marco Patriots. I’ve shared much about this group in the past and all…

Golf and Good Ole Days

A few months ago, a friend from church asked me a question about my experience in event planning. I gave her the scoop, explaining how it was kind of a secret love of mine. Yes, I’m the meeting planner for a very large event every year in my full-time job, however, I love to plan…

Yesterday in this little blog I mentioned that my husband and I were starting the day with coffee and a danish at one of our local restaurants. It’s a small Vietnamese/French cafe. We have been there several times for dinner but have not been there for coffee and pastries in the morning. Well, let me…

Stop and Smell the Coffee (and the danish)

Special Time with Dad

It’s been a while since I’ve mentioned the eagle family and the two young eaglets we have down here in SW Florida. You might recall that two eaglets were born just a little over 100 days ago now. Not too long after, their mother, Harriett went missing and has not been seen since. The speculation…

Fish and Friends

Yesterday in this little blog I shared with you all how I was looking forward to a much-needed downtime day. Actually, I think I phrased it as running away from the craziness of the week. Well, I’m happy to say the running away was successful, in many ways actually. I was able to enjoy time…

Run Away

Ya, I’d be fibbing just a tad if I said I’d never thought of doing this. Sometimes this world gets so crazy you just want to run away from it all, make it go away. It’s been a long week, lots going on, juggling many priorities, and my brain was a little overloaded. You all…
