A Day in the Glades

My husband and I have been trying to spend a little more time discovering the scenic spots around us. Yesterday we took a road trip to the Everglades. Just a little over an hour away is a bounty of beauty found in several Florida National Parks. We took the 27-mile ride on Loop Road in…

Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there! There is a song by Jim Brickman that pretty much says it all when it comes to being a mom. As mothers, I think we want to know that our children are safe and loved and that they grow up being the best they can…

The Lights

Last night, or should I say early this morning much of our country saw what was perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime sight, the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. Even way down here in SW Florida, there are pictures of the most dazzling pink and purple sky at midnight. In other pictures I’ve seen from…

Break Away

Do you ever find yourself just questioning what to do next? Well, that is a pretty open-ended question I know. I guess there are times when we all wonder if what we are doing at a particular time is what we should be doing. Should I do housework or should I go to the pool?…

See with Your Heart

There are times in our lives when things happen and leaning on faith is truly what will get you through. Maybe that was kind of like a “duh” statement. I pretty much share that message every day here in this little blog. When I think about the time when Jesus was alive, the people who…

They Are the Future

I think for as long as we can probably all remember, at one time or another we’ve looked at our youth and said, “They are our future”. Admittedly that comment is not always said positively.

Derby Day

Sit with Me

Each day I make time when I wake up and right before I go to bed to have a chat with Father. I thank him for the gifts of the day, ask him for guidance as I begin the day, and lift some prayers for others who are in need. It really is a regrounding…

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…

It’s America

Yesterday my husband and I took a ride to a farm about an hour from us. I’ve heard about it, and follow them on social media. Each day the owner does a check-in from the farm. She’ll show the chickens running around, the sheep, the cattle, you get the idea. Recently she has showcased the…
