The Little Ones

It’s hard to believe but we are still doing some restoration work following Hurricane Milton last year. The delay has been the result of improvements we are making to improve the flood resiliency of our campus. For instance, replacing standard drywall, trim, and baseboards with PVC or essentially plastic versions. This allows us to remove…

Worth Sharing Again

I had a message for this morning’s little blog but I think Father had other plans 🙂 . When I come up with a message, one of the most difficult things sometimes is the blog’s title. Once I know what I want to write and what I think I want the title to be, I…

Mr. Rogers?

Last night our community had its monthly happy hour. Couples sign up monthly to host, (meaning they open our little clubhouse, set out plates, napkins, ice, etc., nothing major). Neighbors bring a nosh or dessert to share along with their beverage of choice. It’s a great time to catch up with everyone, especially in the…

This Is Us

I know there was a TV series named this, but no that’s not what this little blog is about this morning. No, it’s a little more personal than that, although I guess some would say that show was personal 🙂 . I grew up the youngest of three children, I’m the only girl of the…

The Village

We’ve all heard the phrase, “It takes a village”. Even the most monumental tasks can be accomplished with just a small village of individuals all working together towards a common goal.

Diner Chatter

My husband and I have a little habit when we travel. It’s become kind of fun, actually. I will get online and search for a local diner for breakfast before we leave the town/city where we’ve spent the night. We spent the night in Sarasota on Friday evening to have dinner with a good friend…

You Remember

Children are the greatest and most precious gift that Father gives to us. They are to be cherished, loved, and protected above all else. If you are a parent, especially a mom like me, you remember pretty much every detail of when you gave birth to your children. It’s funny, I can’t remember some things…

The Recipes & Memories

I’ve gotten into a little routine with our youngest daughter. We text each other pretty regularly around dinner time, sharing what we’re making for dinner. I’ll also ask her opinion on a particular spice she might use or how she would doctor up a certain dish. Last night my husband and I realized we hadn’t…

Lessons from Painters

I was so excited yesterday. Our office repairs are almost completed following Hurricane Milton’s damage. The painters were in yesterday finishing the last painting, including my office. This is the same small business that painted the church a few weeks ago and I really liked them then. It’s just one man maybe in his late…

Share You

So you all know that each morning I have a little pow-wow with Father. I spend the time on my lanai (Florida term for patio), in the quiet to sit and start my day in conversation with Him. It’s my favorite part of the day because it’s still dark, (at least at this time of…
