Dawn of a New Day

It is indeed the dawn of a new day. Yesterday was another day filled with emotion as we come together to help those in need in the states affected by Helene. What was so wonderful though, the connections that have been made to share with others. This person has that friend, who knows someone there,…

His Message

It’s difficult to know where to begin this little blog this morning. We are all safe here, and our city, compared to others is just fine. Hurricane Helene has moved through the state of FL, making her way now through the neighboring states with a vengeance. She made landfall in the Big Bend area at…

Lost With Father

When we moved to Florida many years ago, one of the things we gave up was a large yard. It provided so many opportunities to work with my hands; planting flowers, trimming roses, growing veggies, you get the idea. I miss having that space and spending time with Father doing those things. We live in…

A Reminder

Over the past week, I’ve been sharing information and updates about Emily Rea, the niece of a sweet friend of mine. Emily has been missing since July 16th when she went paddle boarding near Hungry Horse, MT. She is a skilled outdoorswoman and paddleboards almost daily. The community has rallied in an incredible way. Distributing…

Why?

It’s a short little word but it carries a ton of meaning and sometimes even more emotion. Sometimes it’s a simple question, like “Why do the people in our town not use turn signals as they should?”. Oh, and if you could answer that question for me, I’d love it, sorry, I digress 🙂 .…
