A Little One

Over the past week or so, I’ve been sharing my experiences with some young adults in our community. Some experiences have been good, some not-so-good, with the good, I believe, outweighing the not-so-good. Well, Father keeps bringing youngsters into our path. Let me explain. As I’ve shared, my husband and I are staying in a…

Diner Chatter

My husband and I have a little habit when we travel. It’s become kind of fun, actually. I will get online and search for a local diner for breakfast before we leave the town/city where we’ve spent the night. We spent the night in Sarasota on Friday evening to have dinner with a good friend…

The Recipes & Memories

I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…

Christmas Memories

Something has struck me recently, just over the last few weeks. I have noticed on social media that people are playing a little remember when.

Through the Ages

We had a very simple wedding, celebrated with friends afterwards, and the next night my mom hosted a lovely dinner for our families.…

The Promise & a Light Bulb

Last month in this little blog I mentioned a picture that sits by our bed, it’s a picture of my mom. Last night as I looked at that picture, like I always do while turning down the bed, I was reminded of something she told us before she died. She said she would let us…

Summer Soiree

Last night we enjoyed one of our first summer gatherings. I think I’ve mentioned these little outings before. In the summer, our church organizes one monthly dinner with a local restaurant. Parishioners volunteer to work with the restaurant with a set menu and price and to host the evening. During the “off-season,” as we call…

The Backroads

The last few days my husband and I have been traveling. Our grandson graduated from high school this past weekend. You can learn a little more about him in this little blog. We had a wonderful time visiting family and friends back home, and the graduation was so great. Our grandson was awesome as he…

Waitin’ for the Babies

It’s springtime and we all know what that means, there are baby animals everywhere. My husband and I have been shewing away a pair of doves from our front door area for the last few weeks. The female is trying to build a nest and has been very stubborn about it. They finally gave up…
