A Day With Fay...

If you have watched the news lately you may know that Florida has been dealing with Tropical Storm Fay. Fay has slowly drug through Florida for four days now bringing wind, rain and flooding. Fay is right on top of our area of Florida today, but thankfully the effect is not as severe as it has been further south.
Today school and work was out and we have been in the house all day.
Here is a few scenes outside:

So...we have had to find things to do inside - like Legos...
Someone gave us a bunch of collard greens, so I spent time cleaning, cutting and cooking them...

This is my favorite sight of the day, this young man has golf fever and set up a course in the living room. He even dressed like a golfer, by himself, but apparently he hasn't worn these pants in a while!!!


Here is the adventurous one...walking around outside in his rubber boots and raincoat...

Then we made a cake...it turned out delicious... will post the recipe soon




So, that is our day so far inside, I think we have one more soggy day ahead, but we are truly blessed to receive much needed rain without all of the damaging elements.

  2. Boy I wish we had some of that rain. Looks like you're taking good advantage of the indoor time. We mostly stay indoors just because it is so hot outside. Please - send us a little of that rain.

  4. Thanks for commenting and letting me know you made the cake...even better that you liked it! ; ) Is that the one I see in the picture? It's making me hungry for it again! Good thing I promised hubby I wouldn't use the oven today or I'd be on my way to the kitchen right about now! (It's 97 degrees here and using the oven would only make the a/c have to work that much harder!)

    Hope the rain is starting to dwindle in your neck of the woods. It doesn't take too much of being cooped up before cabin fever starts to settle in.

    Blessings,
    Tracy = )

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
