1000 Ramblings

Wow, today, this little blog that I’m writing, well, it’s my 1000th. It’s hard to believe that I’ve written that many of these and it’s even harder to believe that you’ve all been here to read my little ramblings 🙂 . When I started this little blog, almost three years ago, (July 17, 2022), I…

A Wee One

Over the years we have come to know many of our kids’ friends. Some of them became lifelong friends, spending time at our house and meeting us for gatherings. Yes over time, some of their friends well they are close enough for us to think of them as our own kids. If you’re a parent…

Fit Them In

The Surprise

Sometimes you just have to plan a surprise 🙂 . A group of friends has been planning a gathering to surprise one of our mentors, (in my past career). We’ve all “grown up” under this wonderful woman. She helped many of us get started in a profession that became a career. She’s one of the…

The Bees Had Plans

Yesterday morning, I got up with a plan. As I was finishing this little blog, I told my husband about the errands I hoped we could run. Oh, and it just so happened that we could stop for breakfast, and it was on the way :-). So, after wrapping up my ramblings here, we headed…

Friday Tune

I sat down this morning and started with a message in this little blog. After a few paragraphs I realized the message wasn’t flowing the way I wanted. I couldn’t get my thoughts to flow in a way that made sense. Simply put, I was rambling, there’s something new in this little blog 🙂 .…
