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…

A Fish and a Sign
One of the fun things about living in SW FL, well, living anywhere by the water, is being able to fish pretty much whenever you can muster the time. I’ve always loved this activity. Probably comes from growing up with two older brothers, and of course, my dad loved to fish as well. I’m not…

Rose Descendants
Some friends of ours have been on a trip over the last few weeks. They’ve been sending pictures back from the various destinations and we’ve been sharing their journey through these wonderful photos. Sunsets over the English Channel, gorgeous flowers in Kinsale Ireland, the Highlands of Scotland, and of course Loch Ness just to name…

Simple Saturday
Ahhh, the weekend, ’nuff said right? As I sat on the lanai this morning with my morning chat with Father I thought about these last weeks of summer.

If it Ain’t Broke…
Last night my husband and I were making dinner. Caesar salad was on as a side dish and as I was making my dad’s famous dressing, my husband was washing and readying the romaine. We have one of those “salad spinners” where you put the chopped lettuce that has been washed, into the bowl, toss…

Favorite Pictures
You all know that of course some of my favorite pictures to take are sunrises and sunsets. Admittedly, living in SW Florida it’s a little difficult to catch a sunrise. Sunsets on the other hand, we’ll ya, those are a daily blessing around here 🙂 . This morning I was looking at some pictures, but…

TV Times and the Locals
Over the past few days, there have been interesting conversations happening wherever we have been. Well that’s kind of open-ended isn’t it 🙂 . On Friday evening my husband and I were at a new restaurant that opened a few months ago. Many friends have recommended it so we stopped in just for a beverage…

25 Years Ago
There is a span through a few weeks of June and July where I become a little melancholy. You see my dad passed away 25 years ago today. The doctors had told us in May of that year that he would only be with us for probably two months, and they were exactly correct in…
