Better Days

I had an idea for today’s little blog post, and after giving it some thought, I decided on a different direction. I just didn’t feel I could put my initial thoughts here the way I wanted to. Guess I need to noodle on those for a bit. Who knows maybe I’m “growing as a writer”,…

Toby Update

About a month ago, well actually it was one month ago today, I shared in this little blog that I was going to help a neighbor with his handsome King Charles Spaniel named Toby. You see Toby’s “dad”, our neighbor, his wife passed away last July. Well, Toby was devoted to his mom. When he…

Last night my husband and I had dinner with some friends, the first time with this couple.

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…
