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…

Comfort Food
Remember yesterday I mentioned how it was going to be nice to have some downtime? I had thoughts of just taking a walk, playing in the dirt with some plants or just spending some time on the lanai to be with God. Well, you know what they say about the best-laid plans. I can’t really…

The Bat Signal
Over the past weeks since Ian, I’ve mentioned how I’ve met some pretty incredible people through volunteer efforts. Well, last night I was blessed to attend a small gathering with some of those incredible people. You see, a month ago I didn’t know these special people, but today, I feel like there has never been…

Ya, I Was Mad
I bet I got your attention with the title of todays little blog… Well, I was indeed mad last night. You see we had dinner with some friends who are, like many here, cleaning out their place to make way for it to be gutted. They needed a break, so I encouraged them to join…

My Bean Bag Frog
When I was growing up one of my favorite “stuffed animals” was my bean bag frog. My mom bought it for me when we were leaving one of our favorite restaurants one evening. We didn’t have a lot growing up, so getting a treat like this was very special. I have two older brothers, and…

Football
Yesterday was a day filled with continued clean-up efforts. I met some new friends and realized how easy it is to get to know people 🙂 . Yesterday was of course also college football game day! A quick scroll through FB provided pictures of friends back home at the pregame tailgate. Other posts showed support…
