You may or may not have seen that Florida has declared a State of Emergency for Martin and St. Lucie Counties. I've recently read that Lee and Palm Beach Counties have been added to that. Martin County is where I lived before moving to Virginia. I absolutely love it there. It is small and has [...]

Old Town-Kissimmee, Florida
It wasn't the first time, and it wouldn't be the last. This was one of my many, many thoughts when the road trip to Florida took many hours longer than I originally planned. But I made it there and now I've made it back home. Vacation! Ah....bliss! The first few days after returning home....not so [...]

Thursday Doors -Everglades City, FL
This week for Thursday Doors, I dug back through some old photos. I'm heading out for vacation tomorrow morning before the sun comes up. I'm supposed to be packing, but was looking in photo albums instead. I really wish I wasn't in the photo so there wasn't proof of how I dressed in the 90's. [...]

Since my Wordless Wednesday this week was about Lupus Awareness, I thought it only fitting that the weekly photo challenge considering jubilant would include a joyous moment with the one who suffers from Lupus. When [...]

A Teen Driver. The oldest is about to venture out on his own. Driving without me or his father in the seat next to him. This is happening Sunday, to be exact. If you've been following along with me for a while you may remember that he lived through and fully recovered from a traumatic [...]
On Titles and Timing
A Mom seeking her Path in the midst of Chaos and Beauty - Amy Lyon Smith How appropriate that this should be the post I had planned to write last week and today the daily prompt would be chaos. The original catalyst for the following thoughts is the Weekly Discover Challenge. The theme this past [...]
Rusty Doors: A Little Nostalgia
Admiration: a feeling of wonder, pleasure, or approval. If you've read about how my dad converted a school bus into a home, then you might have guessed that he is a car guy. If not, here's me letting you know that he's a car guy. And cars have always been a big part of our [...]
