Let's Get This Party Started!

-

Somedays I think I  have so much to say.  Other days I like to just keep that all up inside my head and let it roll around a while.  I've always loved writing things out and  seeing my thoughts on paper.  I love reading blogs and getting a glimpse into the minds and hearts of others on their journey.  This little spot on the old world-wide-web is for me  and all my musings.  Grab a cup of coffee and sit a while  with me.  Whatever season you are currently in there is one thing I am certain of ~~there are others in the same boat  and those who are miles ahead of you.  It's always good to learn from those  who have gone before us.  I'm doing that now with this time we often call mid-life.  

 I love to travel, chat, drink coffee, babysit grandkids (a lot) and quiet dinners with my husband.  We are learning how to navigate our "meet me in the middle" age life.   The kids are grown now.  The grandkids are rolling in every few years.  We have more time to talk and walk and drink our coffee in quiet. WOW sometimes this old house is SO quiet now.  (insert mind still blown over that!)  We are also making the most of serving.  We are knee deep in our church and thankful we are able to do that in this season of life. We are doing our best to use the time we have to be used of God.  It's nothing fancy we are doing but we have been placed where we are because God put us right here!  God knows what He is doing and we are following that hard by faith.  


As we learn to make our way through the middle we are also enjoying the ability to just get up and go.  Did I mention there are distinct upsides to being an empty nester?  You can just get up and go when you  want.  And, we do! :)

I'm Owning It. I'm A Pool Karen

 I'm a people watcher.  I suppose if others around me are also people watchers they are most likely blogging about me right now.  That crazy lady at the pool with her head phones on jigging in the middle of the pool all alone.  I kinda made up my own little  water aerobics class today.    While away on vacation I've enjoyed being plopped by the pool.  Boy do you see a lot of fun stuff people watching at the pool.  Yikes and wow.  Here are my top five things you should never do at the pool based on my keen sense of observation today.  If you are squeamish about straight talk this one may not be for you.  Here we go: 1.  Never attempt to do a mushy tik tok video with the man of your dreams with your brand new iphone while you are in the water.  I mean sure you tried to set up your phone positioned next to a cup on the pool edge and got yourself all snuggly and kissy hanging on each other like primates in the wild but lo...

Hot Tub Talks

-
This past week we have had warm sunny weather and a relatively empty resort.  For us that is a series of wins.  It was peaceful  and relaxing.  One day we  had some clouds and a bit more breeze.  Up until this point I'd spent my time rotating between the beach and the pool.  I neglected the hot tub because it wasn't appealing to me on a warm sunny day.  So on our cooler, breezy day  I decided to spend a bit of time there.  The husband isn't a hot tub guy (for more than a few minutes anyway) so initially it was just me.  He will make his appearance a bit later in the encounter. As always I'll issue a warning ....hang it up right here if you are squeamish.  When I arrived at the hot tub there were a few ladies there and another couple.  Its a big hot tub and they all welcomed me immediately.  Super friendly crowd.  I found out why perhaps everyone was so happy as the encounter unfolded.  I also learned a lot o...
