The Calm Before the Storm
Well, we live in SW Florida. It’s paradise, plain and simple. We wouldn’t be anywhere else. However, as you all know, June – October is hurricane season in Florida. And…we’ve been pretty lucky so far in 2022. Well, that all changes this weekend. We’ve got a whopper headed our way, and so far it looks…

Cupcake Flavors
Earlier this week a box arrived at our door. It was pink and the outside said “baked by Melissa”, and in large letters CUPCAKES. Um…well this sounds like fun I thought. Inside was a very nice thank you card from the friend who sent them. Also inside was, to my surprise, a flat square box,…

Youth Haven
Father has an interesting way of introducing us to situations we weren’t expecting. Last October we were at dinner with some friends and they asked if we had plans for Thanksgiving. This was the first year in over 20 that we didn’t have plans to spend it with family of some sort. “No, actually we…

I found myself yesterday thinking about him, my Uncle Ronnie. He was what we would refer to as a “gentle giant”. Ronnie was every bit 6′ 4″ tall, born and raised in Amarillo, TX, and as you can imagine had quite the accent. He was the kindest, gentlest man I think I’ve ever known. Of…

The Hug

We Owe Them
Last night I was pondering the content for this morning’s little blog, while at my desk working on detailed items for our event next week. I went over to a private FB group we have for our conference attendees, and of course, had to do this through my main FB menu, so my newsfeed popped…

Do You Need a Hand?
Yesterday my husband came home from his morning bike ride. I had just gotten home from the Frog, made my cup of coffee, and was headed to my desk. He had this smile on his face and was kind of shaking his head. I asked what was up. He asked me if I knew one…

When the Barking is Different
Some of our friends who live just across the drive from us are on a trip and left their little pomapoo name Panda with the pet “nanny”, who stays at their home while they are away. Panda is the sweetest little thing, and she loves people. She also is not a barker, I can count…

Have You Ever Thought About the Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Well, have you? I mean let’s face it these are kind of a staple right? Ya, I know the American dessert is supposed to be apple pie, but really is it? Now that I have you totally wondering why I’m talking about chocolate chip cookies, and what on earth they have to do with anything…
