Family Recipe
Last night I got a text from my youngest daughter. I was making dinner when it came in. It was a simple text, “Mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, pepper. That’s all that’s in the sauce right?”. I simply replied back, “Splash o water”. Her response was, “LOL what’s really funny is I just have…

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 Bat Signal
Over the past weeks since Ian, I’ve mentioned how I’ve met some pretty incredible people through volunteer efforts. Well, last night I was blessed to attend a small gathering with some of those incredible people. You see, a month ago I didn’t know these special people, but today, I feel like there has never been…

My Bean Bag Frog
When I was growing up one of my favorite “stuffed animals” was my bean bag frog. My mom bought it for me when we were leaving one of our favorite restaurants one evening. We didn’t have a lot growing up, so getting a treat like this was very special. I have two older brothers, and…

Even If
Yesterday afternoon I went to pick up some things from a friend who has been up north for the summer. She and her husband live just across the street from the beach and their 1st-floor condo, as you might expect was severely damaged by Ian. Actually, her entire complex looks like a war zone. The…

New Life
Yesterday afternoon I stepped away from volunteering activities to try and disconnect a bit. I went to the local nursery and picked up a few mums and a replacement plant for a cactus that was on our lanai and had definitely seen better days. Many of you I’m sure can relate to this, working in…

Just Do
Over the past week we’ve been helping at our church as we continue to clean up and repair after Ian. There is a sign up sheet to log in when you arrive and when you leave and what tasks you are working on. Parishioners from all walks of life are coming together to sweep, powerwash,…

Recovery
Over the past few days, I’ve learned a lot about the different “phases” of a natural disaster. Since Ian hit our Sunshine state we’ve been in the Response phase, which includes implementing disaster response plans, conducting search and rescue missions, taking actions to protect yourself, your family, your animals, and others, and so on. During…

God’s Children
Yesterday was a busy day. I first want to thank our server at the local IHOP. We stopped there first thing to grab a quick breakfast before heading off to help at our church. This woman, our server I mean, was simply awesome. She was so attentive, so happy, and so cheerful to every single…

Ian
As I sit here on Thursday afternoon in my driveway for a bit I’m not even sure where to begin. First and foremost we are safe and ok. Our power is out, cell service is down connecting with the “outside world” is sketchy and much of our beautiful sunshine state is changed forever. Ian has…
