Oldies but Goodies

A few weeks ago I saw an ad for a concert at the local Casino. The ad featured a familiar album cover. Oh, the memories the picture brought back and I instantly started playing some of the songs in my head. It didn’t take long for me to yell to my husband, “We have to…

We Still Surprise

I’ve mentioned our annual Christmas Market in this little blog over the last few months. It’s a big event at our church, taking place this weekend, and I’m head of our “Gourmet Canners”. If you had told me five years ago that I would be heading a canning committee at church I probably would have…

Imagining

For the first time in many months, my husband and I were able to catch a sunset from the beach last night. I know, those of you who don’t live near the water are thinking, “Oh how sad it’s been months since you saw a sunset from the beach”. However, when you live near a…

Walking and Remembering

There are some days when you realize, ahh, yes I needed this. Yesterday was one of those days. I had some things I wanted to do, kind of those honey-do list-type tasks. Made a run to our storage unit to drop off things that had been hanging around the house, picked up the Thanksgiving decor,…

We Can Indeed

Yesterday our team of gourmet canners finished up our 2023 inventory. Heavenly Fruited Rice and Savory Spiced Nuts rounded out the selections for this year.

Unexpected Lights

My husband and I had dinner with some friends last night and by the time we got home it was almost dark. Not surprising given the change of the seasons now, of course, that will be even more so after this weekend, but that discussion is for another little blog post 🙂 . Anyway, we…

The Real Thing

I’ve never been much of a fan of Halloween, even when I was a kid it wasn’t a favorite. I really began to dislike it when the costumes got to be so gory and creepy, nah it’s not for me. But I think more than the over-the-top scary movie-type costumes, it’s the whole dressing up…

When You Can’t Deny

Yesterday I met our canning crew at the church for our final round of canning before our market in a few weeks. Cranberry pepper, and red pepper jelly were the final two canned items on our list, and oh my did they turn out ahhmazing! Anyway, when I pulled into the church, I remembered that…

Hate it When I’m Stupid

Ah yes, the many times I’ve said this over the years. I’m guessing we’ve all said it at one time or another. You know, you make a simple mistake and you think “Well that was stupid”. I guess it’s human nature. I found myself saying it yesterday, out loud to a group of wonderful volunteers…

Sit and Be

I’m in the middle of a very large project at work. There are a lot of moving parts and some pretty tight deadlines but it’s coming together. Yesterday was a day where I was in full git ‘r done mode. I was moving through this project when a wrench got tossed in. We’ve all been…
