The Little Towns
Yesterday a friend of mine posted a picture on social media. He is the owner of an event venue back in our hometown. The venue used to be a confectionery store back in the day. The building that it resided in was built in 1890, and that business opened in the building in 1898. It…

Summer Help
A few weeks ago one of our parishioners contacted me about a summer job for their son. He is home from college and is looking for a part-time job to earn some spending money and stay busy until he heads back to school. He’s enrolled in some summer classes so he was only looking for…

Eyes for Emily
Usually, when I sit outside on our lanai to have my morning chat with Father, it’s quiet. However, in the last week or so the bubbler in our little lake has been running consistently. So, this morning as I sat and listened to the water, thoughts of Emily Rea came to mind. I’m thinking that…

I was listening to their conversation about technology. They talked about how they don’t use cash, they use Apple Pay for everything, they even use their watch…

Can You Just Guide Me
I think we have all probably been in a place where we feel lost. We’re struggling to make heads or tales of whatever is in our hands. We feel like we are floating on the ocean and there is no lighthouse or beach to guide us. I know I have been there, many times in…

1000 Ramblings
Wow, today, this little blog that I’m writing, well, it’s my 1000th. It’s hard to believe that I’ve written that many of these and it’s even harder to believe that you’ve all been here to read my little ramblings 🙂 . When I started this little blog, almost three years ago, (July 17, 2022), I…

A Wee One
Over the years we have come to know many of our kids’ friends. Some of them became lifelong friends, spending time at our house and meeting us for gatherings. Yes over time, some of their friends well they are close enough for us to think of them as our own kids. If you’re a parent…
