Did We Really Just Move to Florida?

We've talked about wanting to be in Florida for a long time. Now we are here. We know that God orders our steps and this step was a big one for us. A few bumps in the road along the way, a disappointment or two, a few surprises, and Voila! ~ We are now calling Largo Florida our home. It will become permanent late summer after our trip back to Maryland to get some stuff and to make future plans. Next year we hope to return to sell our home there but meanwhile it's in good hands and more importantly in God's hands.
Here are some recent photos:

 Greetings from our front yard. We share the front of the duplex with a wonderful Christian couple.  So cool that they put out crosses.  The one on the left says "He is Risen!"

 Today, Living Hope Church had a wonderful surprise for us - a cake reception after service.

 We are scooching down so you can see the cake in the photo

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

A Good Week for Geezers

The 75 year old Joan Rivers was crowned the new Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday. On The Biggest Loser show, Helen (who was constantly bemoaning her age vs. the younger people she was competing with) won the whole enchilada. She had lost a total of 140 pounds. And Jerry, who is 64 years old, won the $100K prize for losing almost 48 percent of his body weight. Even the Aussie who was on the show from Australia's Biggest Loser was 57 (my age incidentally). Does this give me hope or add pressure? I'm not so sure. But I'm just happy to know that it's not all about the twenty or thirty somethings.

Spring Fever Joy List

It was a beautiful day here in the Mid-Atlantic. We had unseasonably high temps and it was a day for spring fever. Sometimes on days like this when all seems right in my world I wonder how it gets any better than this. I think back to all the springs in my life. I remember times I took a mental health day just to feel the newness of the season. I recall a lilac dress I had when I was a senior in high school and how I felt like spring personified. I recollect writing poetry and being in love and just feeling like I was walking on air. Here's my joy list from today: The high clouds in the bright blue sky The scent of the spring blooms The pretty tulips out front at the building where I work Flowering trees along the highway The feel of the sun The flower sale we had as a fundraiser and the pretty begonias I bought Seeing everyone break out their warm season clothes Knowing our dear little cat was spending most of the day on his favorite perch on the sun porch Thinking about the u...
