A Prayer for Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Friends! As you begin your day, or perhaps you already have, with the bird in the oven at 3:00am, 🙂 stop just a moment and join me in this simple prayer of thanks. Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for us. We thank you for the…

The Feelings of Thanksgiving

Here. We. Go. Prep work has already begun in many homes I’m sure. It did in mine last night with the brining of the pork. It was good to be back amid Thanksgiving meal prep, boy the memories sure are coming back. But, not just the memories, the feelings of years past are even better.…

Shopping List

It’s the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and if you’re like me, this is the day you brave the craziness of the grocery stores to get those final items for the big meal. Even though the stores are usually packed it’s a different kind of shopping. There is a different feeling in the air. People are…

Happy Holiday Week

Over the last few days, I’ve already begun to see social media posts of friends prepping for Thanksgiving. It’s been fun to see pictures of families starting to make stuffing, or prepare meatballs for the traditional soup.

Back Home

A Special Guy

A Special Lady

I can’t believe how fast time flies. I know there is a saying the older we get, the faster time passes, well now that I’m old, I get it 🙂 . It seems like yesterday when I saw you for the first time. You were incredibly perfect. I will never forget your first cry, your…

Remembering Our Vets

As you enjoy your morning coffee, please take a moment to remember our incredible Veterans. All gave some, and some gave all. The military has been a part of my life since I was born. I’m an Airforce kid, my dad served for 25 years after he became a citizen of this great nation. My…

Special Gifts

So, recently I shared the story about our family piano, and how it made its way from Illinois down here to Florida. It sits now in our family/living room, has been tuned, and I can’t wait to teach myself how to play, (maybe with the help of “learning how to play piano for dummies”). What…
