A Prayer for Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving Friends! As you begin your day, or perhaps you already have, with the bird in the oven at 3:00am, 🙂 stop just a moment and join me in this simple prayer of thanks. Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for us. We thank you for the…

The Feelings of Thanksgiving
Here. We. Go. Prep work has already begun in many homes I’m sure. It did in mine last night with the brining of the pork. It was good to be back amid Thanksgiving meal prep, boy the memories sure are coming back. But, not just the memories, the feelings of years past are even better.…

Shopping List
It’s the Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and if you’re like me, this is the day you brave the craziness of the grocery stores to get those final items for the big meal. Even though the stores are usually packed it’s a different kind of shopping. There is a different feeling in the air. People are…

Happy Holiday Week
Over the last few days, I’ve already begun to see social media posts of friends prepping for Thanksgiving. It’s been fun to see pictures of families starting to make stuffing, or prepare meatballs for the traditional soup. As I’ve shared before in this little blog, we used to host the McQueen Rally of the Clan…

Give it Back
If you’re like me, you’ve probably found yourself scratching your head some days. I don’t know about you but there are times when I just don’t understand what in the world is happening.

Traditions
We’ve passed the first of November now and you can feel the shift in the air of everyone thinking about Christmas. This year more than usual it’s got me thinking about traditions. I didn’t have many of these growing up, but we did develop many with our kids, and now even our grandkids. For years,…

Driveway Time
We live in a small community where the units are pretty much on one circular drive. You can drive in and follow the road all the way around with condos on either side and make your way back out the drive if that makes sense. My point to that is, everyday neighbors make their way…

Canning
I’m headed out to spend the morning with some very talented ladies at our church. I’ve been working on the “gourmet canners” committee for the last few years, and this morning, it’s Red Pepper Jelly 🙂 . I’ve never made red pepper jelly, but I hear it’s really good and I’m anxious to know more…

Laces of Love
Last night we met at church for a gathering. This is the time when many of our parishioners are coming back from being up north all summer. Many are seeing Naples and the surrounding area, and the results of Ian at our church for the first time. We gathered to reconnect and share updates on…

Better Days
I’ve seen several videos, that have just been taken over the past week or so, of areas affected by Ian. They show the coastline with houses in rubble, overhead shots showing the familiar “blue tarps” covering roofs and entire sections of a town that is simply gone. We continue to see piles and piles of…
