Time Change

Well, like many, I’m not a member of the “yay we get an extra hour of sleep” club when we change the clocks back in the fall. Ya, I get that it’s lighter earlier, but what that also means is it’s darker earlier. The waking up in the dark and getting off work in the…

A Day to Do

Yep, that’s today… having breakfast with a dear friend this morning to start the day, then I’m actually looking forward to getting some things done. My poor car needs a bath, (the dust from the clean-up work around the city covers everything these days), my lanai could use a good scrubbing, and I have some…

Traditions

We’ve passed the first of November now and you can feel the shift in the air of everyone thinking about Christmas. This year more than usual it’s got me thinking about traditions. I didn’t have many of these growing up, but we did develop many with our kids, and now even our grandkids. For years,…

Laces of Love

Last night we met at church for a gathering. This is the time when many of our parishioners are coming back from being up north all summer. Many are seeing Naples and the surrounding area, and the results of Ian at our church for the first time. We gathered to reconnect and share updates on…

The Eagles

One of the most beautiful sites to see down here in SW Florida is the symbol of our nation, the Eagle. It’s not uncommon to be driving along and look up to see one flying, or, as we saw not long after being here, one sitting on a golf course with its breakfast 🙂 If…

A Piece of Home

When we moved to Florida several years ago, like most, we had to go through the process of “downsizing”. You know, your kids get the first pick of items you no longer “need”. Then you start making piles to donate, garage sale, or pitch. Yep, we went through that process, but there was one item…

The Youth

Sometimes they get a bad wrap. I know I’ve done it myself, commented on how our youth don’t want to work, are too wrapped up in their technology, their way of communicating is by text, not an actual conversation, you get the idea. I can’t help but wonder if we as parents have done them…

Blessing of the Pets

Yesterday we took some time to participate in the blessing of the pets service at our church. Even though we don’t ourselves have pets, we are kind of surrogate parents to a few of our neighbors fur babies, so we invited them to join us. These services are always fun, just seeing the variety of…

What Can I Do

Short little blog today, many of you are probably thankful for that, LOL! So many of you have reached out and asked “what can I do?”. I have to admit I’ve not watched the TV or the news since last Thursday, which might be a good thing. I’ve been focused on the needs of our…
