Little Organizations

Last night I had a meeting with a combined group of people doing some really great stuff for our community. You see each year we have a fundraiser at our church to raise funds for community outreach. We have a group who plans the fundraiser, and then there is a grant committee who researches the many local…

Little Community

I’ve mentioned before that we live in a small community here in SW Florida. Much smaller than many, and for that we are fortunate. We are fortunate because we’ve gotten to know most of our neighbors. It’s a pretty active community as you might expect, there are the weekly golfers of course, and the pickleballers and tennis…

Final Preparations

As I thought back over this week, I realized this morning as I sat down to write this little blog that the final preparations for Christmas were happening around me. We had a team lunch in our office yesterday, when I went to pick it up at this little shopping area downtown, you could see visitors…

The Christmas Card

Last night we stopped by the mailbox on the way into our community. My husband got back in the car and, as usual this time of year we looked at the envelopes and who they were from. Ahh, the daily group of Christmas cards from family and friends. I love opening these and catching up on the latest…

The Simpleness of the Season

Over the past few days, I’ve been mentioning in this little blog how I’ve been seeing and feeling the simple things about this Christmas.

Each year on the third Saturday of December, WAA makes the drive to Arlington National Cemetery with full-size semi trucks filled with handmade wreaths. These wreaths are placed on the graves of…

The Stocking were Hung…

Just a fun little story in today’s little blog. Over the weekend I had the idea to buy stockings for everyone in our office. I wanted to hang them on each office door for a couple of reasons, yes for decoration, but also as an opportunity for people to share little things with each other.…

In the Eyes of a Child

Yesterday I spent some time at a wonderful event we have each year at our church. We call it “Cookie Sunday”. Each year on the 2nd Sunday in Advent hundreds of sugar cookies, (baked by a wonderful group of women), are set out for the children and youth, (and let’s face it even the adults),…

Shop and Serve

The title of today’s little blog sounds like the name of a great new eating establishment 🙂 . Actually, though I was thinking this morning about the great day we had yesterday, but in a way I was sad. Let me explain. My husband and I actually chilled a little yesterday morning. We had a…
