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,…

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. For instance, it’s not uncommon here in our community to literally watch someone just drive right through a four-way stop, I mean…
