A Special Guy

God brings people into our lives for a reason. Over 35 years ago I was introduced to this guy at the company where I worked, he was the new accountant who’d been hired. He was nice, seemed to love to smile, dressed very professionally, (back in those days you actually dressed up for work, you…

The Water

Last night my husband and I went to the beach to watch the sunset for the first time since Ian came through. As we drove to one of our usual beach access points we could still see the results of Ian so clearly. The first access point was still closed, as were several more along…

A Special Lady

I can’t believe how fast time flies. I know there is a saying the older we get, the faster time passes, well now that I’m old, I get it 🙂 . It seems like yesterday when I saw you for the first time. You were incredibly perfect. I will never forget your first cry, your…

Remembering Our Vets

As you enjoy your morning coffee, please take a moment to remember our incredible Veterans. All gave some, and some gave all. The military has been a part of my life since I was born. I’m an Airforce kid, my dad served for 25 years after he became a citizen of this great nation. My…

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…

101

Wow, I realized this morning that yesterday’s little blog about Tommy, well that was the 100th little blog I’ve posted. Thank you friends for taking a small part of your day to read my musings. Over the past 100 or so days I’ve tried to share events in my life that continue to remind me…

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…
