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,…

We Can Indeed
Yesterday our team of gourmet canners finished up our 2023 inventory. Heavenly Fruited Rice and Savory Spiced Nuts rounded out the selections for this year. We are pretty well set for next week’s Christmas Market. A big shout out to the team of ladies who helped make product, label, count, and just be here to…

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…

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…
