The Ladies

Yesterday was our final day of preparing products for our booth at the upcoming Christmas Market we are hosting. This is the 68th annual event for us and I think the Gourmet Canners have had a space almost since its beginning. I have to admit I was a little worried that we would get everything…

Happiness in a Tune

As I wrote in this little blog last week, I had family in town last weekend. My brother and sister-in-law were here for a few days and as I shared, we had a wonderful time. We took them for a sunset cruise around Naples and after a short rain shower, watched a beautiful sunset. As…

A Prayer for a Nation

As I mentioned in this little blog yesterday, regardless of the outcome of the elections, I was pretty sure the sun would rise on a new day, and so it has. There was something interesting about yesterday. Throughout the day of course people were posting on social media that they had voted. What I found…

We’ve been told if this candidate or that candidate wins there will be riots and destruction in the streets. Americans…

The Time Together

We’ve had family in town for the last few days. My brother, (who you all prayed for a few weeks ago), and sister-in-law came in for a long weekend. It was time spent doing the things you like to do when guests are in your Southwest FL town. We did a sunset cruise, ate at…

Ya, it’s true, there are times I have a hard time letting go of things and letting others help. It’s my type A head I guess. There comes a point though when you just don’t have a choice, you realize that you can’t do it all, (shocker I know), and you have to rely on…

Prioritize

It’s interesting to me how lately I’ve noticed the many ways that Father provides opportunities to prioritize my relationship with Him. What the heck does that mean, you are probably asking yourself. Well, like most people, my days are pretty jam-packed. Throughout those days, again like most, I have ups and downs, easy sailing and…

Serenity

Just the mention of the word brings a calmness when said. The official definition of the word serenity is; “the state of being calm, peaceful and untroubled”. Well now, don’t we all want that at any given time in our life, or any given time of the day for that matter. This morning as I…

I Want To Be Here

There are several ways to look at the title of this little blog this morning. If you’re like me you’ve probably thought of your favorite happy place, like the beach, or maybe the mountains, and thought to yourself, “I just want to be here all the time”. When you spend time with your family, catch…

The Power of Connection

We had a little fun yesterday afternoon, well last evening I should say. My granddaughter called us to tell us about her week. She works part-time at the local YMCA as an after-school counselor. Kids from various schools around the area attend the after-school program. For Halloween, the Y has a contest where the youth…
