Bond of the Band
Yesterday as I was headed to the Blessing of the Pets at our church I drove by one of the larger high schools in town. Their football field faces the road I was on, and a familiar sight caught my eye. When I saw it I had to roll down my window to hear the…

They Make it Work
Last night my husband and I made our way to one of our favorite local restaurants. As you can probably imagine there are tons of them in our city, (it’s grown into a city I think), many are chain establishments but there are so many local places it’s sometimes hard to choose. Anyway, last night…

Canning with a Crew
It’s that time of the year when gardens are emptying for the season and the final canning, pickling, freezing is a happenin’. Well, it’s a different kind of canning here. Last year I mentioned that we have a small group of ladies at our church who put their hearts, (and a little muscle), into canning…

Sitting in the Rain
It’s the rainy season here in SW Florida. Well, I should say, it’s supposed to be the rainy season here. You see it has been anything but this season, we’ve had a noticeable lack of rain. Our poor ponds and lakes are showing signs of the lack of water. The grass as well is starting…

When You’re Not Good Enough

I’ve noticed over the past week or so, everyone is starting to dig the fall decorations out, (even though the season doesn’t officially start until later this week). The pumpkins and fall leaves, acorns, gourds, and the Indian corn are starting to appear on doorsteps, and around homes, it’s quite festive. Even though you all…

Land that I Love
If you dropped in on this little blog yesterday you know that I was enjoying a day of a little pampering and downtime. Believe it or not, I stuck to that plan, which is something to be said indeed 🙂 . I got the hair and toes taken care of, did manage to read a…

Uncomfortable?
When our kids were little, my husband and I would say grace each meal and we taught our kids to bow their heads as we gave thanks. As they got older they began to say the prayer with us, and they knew whenever we sat down to eat, wherever we were we would say our…

Growing Up Too Fast
A few days ago my granddaughter called me to fill me in on her first day of classes at the community college where she is enrolled. She is pursuing a career in vet medicine and like all grandparents, we are pretty darn proud. She’s also applying for a part-time position on campus in the vet…

The Faces of Innocence
Yesterday was our annual fishing tournament at our church. It was truly a fun-filled day with great weather, great food, and loads of families enjoying the day together. In addition to our “anglers”, we had an option for people to take an eco-tour and spend some time on one of our local islands that provides…
