Penguins in Florida?????

March 2, 2012 Kennedy Space Center

It really is rocket science – that which makes this place tick. If you want to make yourself feel really small and ignorant, stand under this Apollo moon rocket.    It’s like living in the land of giants. Everything is supersized. Next year at the Kennedy Space Center visitors will be able to see the Atlantis […]

February 29, 2012 Dog Years

How are you spending your extra day? I’ve spent some time today thinking about dogs. I’m not really a dog person. I grew up with cats, afraid of dogs. But, that’s not to say that there haven’t been certain dogs in my life that I’ve grown to appreciate or even love. One of those dogs […]

February 27, 2012 Life’s a Beach

Gary and I are back in Florida, staying at our usual spot in Cape Canaveral. I haven’t hit my beach stepping stride yet, so on my first walk this morning I stopped to take a few pictures. This is what I saw… This first-aid station looked like it had just washed up on the beach. […]

This week I was reading an article in The Lutheran magazine by David L. Miller that got me thinking of Lent in a slightly different way. He says that, “Lent walks us into the paschal mystery of Christ, […]

February 21, 2012 Church Hopping

I logged over 5,000 steps today by church hopping. What is church hopping? It’s kind of like bar hopping without the hangover. Our church is looking to paint the sanctuary and four of us ladies went from church to church today looking at the colors in other churches. Here’s what we found out: Basically, there’s […]

February 18, 2012 Strong Museum

One good thing about having grandchildren is that you get to go to places that people might look at you weird if you didn’t have a kid in tow. Today it was the Strong Museum to see the Wizard of Oz display. Let me first explain that my whole family are “Ozzies.”  We love the movie […]
