Golf Bags, Kids and Memories

Over the weekend my husband and I made a trip to our storage unit to pick up my golf clubs. Yes, they’ve been tucked away there since we moved down here full-time. Sad I know, but time has simply gotten away from me when it comes to playing golf. Well, that changes next week when…

The Gift in Front of You

You all know that there are times when I draw a blank on what to write in this little blog. I’ve shared before that many times, actually more than many times, I don’t have a clue what to write. What I realized this morning is that there are days when I try too hard. There…

Fried Chicken & Perry Mason

Now that is an interesting title for a blog post. I’m guessing you are wondering where the heck this one came from right? It really is kind of funny how it came to be. Last night my husband and I were driving home from work. I realized I didn’t take anything out for dinner so…

Gratitude and Guidance

As usual I’m not quite sure where the week has gone. That old adage, “The older you get the faster time goes”, oy, it really is true! Here we are at Thursday already and I swear we were just looking at the eclipse on Monday. Seriously, where does the time go? This morning friends, I…

Simple Beauty

One of the things you learn about when you move to Florida is the orchid plant. Not long after moving here a neighbor gave me one as a welcome gift. I had seen them up north of course but nothing like I see them here in the warm climate. I’m by no means a pro…

Together – In the Dark

It’s not every day that you get to see an eclipse like so many saw yesterday. Some of the pictures were pretty incredible. Many said “It went dark”, “You could see the stars”, “Street lights came on”, “It was like night”, “The birds stopped chirping”, and so many more comments. So for all the ugliness…

To-Do’s – Just Get ’em Done

We’ve been fortunate over the past few weeks to have some amazing weather here in SW Florida. The skies have been an incredible blue, the humidity has been low and the temperatures not much above 80 during the day. In the evening and early mornings, it’s been cool. This kind of weather has provided a…

Princess

This morning I sat down to write this little blog and was putting together some thoughts in my head, (dangerous I know right?). I had a few notes on some things to share and began to organize them. I glanced out my office window, which looks down onto a curve in the street of our…

Look at Me

These last few days I’ve had the opportunity to see some pretty simple but beautiful things. This morning as I was thinking about this little blog and what to share I started recalling these moments. Father just so easily puts things in our path to make us see Him more clearly, and so often we…

Dinner & Dancing

Yesterday I spent some time with a wonderful woman. Over the past several weeks she has been planning her husband’s memorial service. He passed away several months ago and next week their family and friends will come together to honor him, celebrate his life, and say their final goodbyes. Through this planning process, I’ve gotten…
