Uncle Gene
If you’ve been popping in to read this little blog regularly you know that my husband and I typically have some music playing while we’re making dinner. Last night was one of those nights, we were listening to the Bobby Darin channel, and they were playing some really great songs by some great artists. Dinner…

Welcome Baskets
Our little community is pretty special. The setup is nice, with just one big circle and condos on each side of the road. Our buildings only have four units in each, so again we’re pretty small compared to the larger communities in Florida. It’s not a secret that the population here in Florida is increasing,…

Celebration Day
Today is the day we celebrate The Epiphany. I’ve given a touch of history about the 12 days of Christmas in this little blog, and today we officially mark the end of Christmas as we celebrate the Epiphany. In the first centuries, Christians chose this day to celebrate the various manifestations, or “epiphanies” of Jesus’…

Toby Time
Our next-door neighbor is what we call a seasonal resident. He comes down usually in September and then heads back to MA in April or May for the summer. When we moved in about 18 months ago, he was here with his wife who was battling cancer, she had been doing so for quite some…

It was great to see so much activity around it, and so many of you participating as well in your own communities. We also had our little community holiday gathering with great food and socializing. We finished the evening…

Precious Wreaths
Today we will participate in one of my favorite holiday traditions, the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony. No matter where we have been in this country, we have participated. This organization is, in my opinion, simply one of the BEST. Their mission is simple to lay a wreath at the headstone of every veteran. This…

No Gifts This Year – Well Maybe Just One
We’re closing in on Christmas and if you’re like me you are probably not even close to ready. Our annual writing of cards is not complete, finalizing ideas for Christmas day snacks not done, oh and getting needed gifts, ya that’s not complete yet either. Stress, stress, stress…sound familiar? Over the past few days, I’ve…

Things that Bind Us
When we lived back in IL I was fortunate to find an amazing group of ladies when I joined a small fitness group. This group, (the Chix in Training), was and is so much more than dragging yourself to an exercise routine. No, this was something I looked forward to three days a week. I…

Made with Love
We spent the weekend making our place festive for Christmas. It’s always fun to open the tubs to see what decorations are inside. Since this is only the second year in this home, we’re still trying to determine the best place to put things. As we pulled out the different items, not only did we…

The Colors of Advent
Today is the beginning of the Advent Season. The word “Advent” comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming or arrival.” So, the season of Advent is a season to prepare and wait for the “arrival” of the baby Jesus. But, in a way you could say that we are always in the season of Advent,…
