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…

Visiting Dad
We’re wrapping up the visit with my stepmom today, heading to Tampa to visit my dad. He is buried in the Florida National Cemetery there. It’s been a while since we have been there, last December for the Wreath’s Across America Event. My dad isn’t really there, just his human shell, I know that he…

Fit Them In
I’m spending the next few days with family in town. My stepmom is here for a visit. She’s making her way around the country to see family and friends on kind of a whirlwind tour so to speak. We haven’t seen each other in over a year, in person at least so this visit is…

Too Nice
A friend put a post on social media last night that she’s been accused of being too nice. At first, I read that and thought you are nice and wonderful to people. She went on to say that maybe she was too nice, but she would rather give a little grace than get into it…

Picture of Hope
Last night our oldest daughter sent us a text message. There was a picture of a young couple, looking as if they were posing for their engagement pictures. You could tell it was an older picture. As I looked at it trying to determine if I knew the couple, (which I didn’t), she went on…

Pizza Rolls in Heaven
Yesterday was an anniversary. It’s hard to believe that my mom has been gone for 28 years now. It’s interesting how your inner self knows when these types of anniversaries come. You may not actively be aware of the date, but inside you are. Then, when you say the date out loud, you instantly remember…

Odd, Sad, Human
Yesterday was an odd day. I’m sure you’ve had them too, days when you just feel out of sorts and you can’t put your finger on it. Admittedly, it started out on a bad note the minute I got to work and unfortunately I guess it just set the stage for me to be grumpy.…

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…
