Another Chicken

When our youngest was little, she and my husband used to run errands after work. They would stop by the bank, pick up a few things at the grocery store, or swing by Lowe’s to pick up something for the latest home project (the youngest really disliked that last stop). It almost became a game…

Seeing Differently

Over the weekend my husband and I did some spring cleaning, so to speak. We moved back into our home after having some remodeling done. It took longer than we expected, which admittedly was frustrating, but we are back home now and getting settled. We spent the weekend putting things away, wiping down pictures, putting…

Home Sweet Home

Well, exactly three months later, we are finally back home in our place. As with all construction or remodeling, things took longer than planned, but I’m telling myself not to focus on the length of time but instead to enjoy being back in our home. It was late last night when we moved the last…

Respect in the Parking Lot

Yesterday afternoon my husband and I made our usual weekend trip to the grocery store. As we pulled into a parking space, my frustration set in as I noticed a cart just ahead of the space. It gets old that people can’t take the cart five feet further and put it in the cart coral…

Yes, there is the event’s pageantry the beautiful attire, derby hats and seersucker suits, the fabulous foods of the south, and of course the traditional mint julep!

Outlooks

I returned last night from a wonderful few days with some pretty special people. I’ve been sharing over the last few little blogs about a seniors golf group I work with. They have events twice a year and I am fortunate to be the event planner for them. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it…

Light Breaks Through

If you’ve been reading this blog very long you know that I like to spend time in the morning and the evening out on my lanai, (Florida term for patio), having my check-in time with Father. When I travel, sometimes it’s not easy to find a quiet spot to have those daily conversations. However, here…

The Memory of Golf

There are some things that we learn to do over time that become just second nature. We build muscle memory and when that occurs we do things without even thinking about it. For instance, when we learn to drive and have been doing it for a long time, it’s second nature to reach for your…

Stop, Look, Listen

This morning I had a treat as I made my way outside to spend a little time with Father. As I mentioned in yesterday’s little blog, I’m on Daufuskie Island, SC for the next few days helping with a golf group event. This morning as I took in all the sounds of this beautiful place,…

Scars in Heaven

I’m headed out for the week, spending time with the senior golf group I plan events for. We’re headed to Daufuskie Island, SC, for their Spring meeting. Daufuskie is a wonderful island off Hilton Head. It’s quiet and laid back, and the simple beauty of the low country can’t be matched. Oh, and did I…
