Cold!
For those of you who know me personally, I, like about 1/2 the country, cannot handle the cold weather. A gradual changing of the seasons is something I cherish and enjoy because it welcomes the next season in with all new things to think about like flowers, swimming, the changing of the leaves etc. For […]
A New Baby
Today we got the long awaited call. Our partner and his fiance just had their first baby. It’s a boy! This exciting news ran through my veins and warmed my soul. This is the 3rd or 4th baby born in our group of close friends this year. I may just rename this the “Year of the […]
Being Thankful
Don’t forget to take a few moments sometime in your daily chores to be thankful for what you have. Some of us have a bit more than others but we all have and want the same things, or so I assume. Health, happiness, world peace and financial stability. We only can hope that we can […]
A Salute to a Friend
I felt a need to share this after so very long. I was thinking about this and wanted to share. It was a sad day for my son and his longtime girlfriend. Allison’s father has passed after a long and drawn out battle with his health. Joe had a liver transplant over 11 months ago and […]
Preparing for the Holidays

Each and every one of us, no matter what we practice or believe, have some kind of connection with the upcoming holidays from Thanksgiving through New Years.

Gathering The Family
With the holidays coming up and the crazy work schedules of our family, we always try, like everyone else, to gather on the holidays. While we make a valiant effort, sometimes we just can’t all be together in the same spot at the same time. So, in between the major holiday gatherings, I like to […]
Turning of the Weather
No matter what we do, what we say, or how much we try to deny it, winter will be sneaking up on us whether we like it or not. I love the change when the air becomes a bit chilly and the sweaters come out, but then shortly after, the drop goes right to my […]
A Lesson Learned
I recently got involved in a little, shall I say, soap opera kind of thing. It was something I often shy away from but thought I might be helping a friend. I shared information about someone thinking I was doing the right thing and would be appreciated for it, but of course it backfired. My […]
