Gone to the Dogs

Yesterday we had our final women’s luncheon of the season. It was special and my goodness the participation 🙂 . You see we had “Max” and “Tessa” visit. They are members of the Naples Police Department K-9 unit. Max is a 2-year-old golden retriever and Tessa is a 3-year-old black Labrador, and I can tell…

The Ladies

Yesterday was our final day of preparing products for our booth at the upcoming Christmas Market we are hosting. This is the 68th annual event for us and I think the Gourmet Canners have had a space almost since its beginning. I have to admit I was a little worried that we would get everything…

Get Through it Together

This morning I just want to share a song, I’ve shared before. It’s one of strength and a reminder to just keep putting one foot in front of the other. It’s a reminder that we are stronger than we think sometimes. And, it’s a reminder that together, with Father, we can get through just about…

I Will Provide

Yesterday I listened to a podcast I try to catch at least several times a week. The host had a guest, Leigh Brown, a realtor from Western NC. Well, right now she’s not a realtor, she has become a full-time disaster recovery coordinator. It started last week when she was simply trying to get some…

Dawn of a New Day

It is indeed the dawn of a new day. Yesterday was another day filled with emotion as we come together to help those in need in the states affected by Helene. What was so wonderful though, the connections that have been made to share with others. This person has that friend, who knows someone there,…

Do You Know Me?

We had dinner with some friends last night. We’ve known them for several years and we’ve shared about our lives before moving to Florida. We know what they do for a living, we know about their children, that kind of thing. Last night though, we had wonderful conversation, sharing even more about our backgrounds, growing…

Friday, My Day

OK, so you all know that Saturdays are usually what I call my day. A little slower to rise, no set schedule, (usually), and just a relaxed day. Well, yesterday at work I found myself with pretty much the office to myself. Our part-time janitor was there in the morning and cleaned the office. We…

The Children in Us All

Last night my husband and I stopped on the way home from work to grab a bite to eat. Many of the local restaurants run wonderful specials during the off-season here. It gives the locals a chance to visit new places without the crazy crowds, and in turn, we help the small business owners to…

Sewing the Seeds

Yesterday I headed out early to spend a few hours with a group of women I’ve come to know more closely over the past year. Now, if you’ve been reading this little blog for long you know that I’m pretty partial to my Saturday mornings. I tend to get started a little later, (that’s code…

Above All

Sometimes you find a simple song that just says it all and touches you when you need it. I like to think that is Father dropping in like He usually does when we need Him. I’ve shared before that I don’t have any musical talent, I can’t carry a tune in a bucket, and reading…
