FORE! vs. STRIKE!







We had a wonderful Father's Day breakfast at our favorite spot in the town harbor.
Much discussion if we should keep our family plan to golf for the day. The cold, wet, misty rain and increasing wind drove our decision to cancel our scheduled tee time. Wouldn't be fun! Plan "B" brought us to a few crazy games of bowling! Much fun!If you golf, http://www.ameandlulu/ have fab golf accessories and I thought these preppy pink and green bowling pin earrings I found on etsy; oogieboogiebaubles, were a hoot!!

A space for Reflecting.....

I'm writing today in a somber mood. I have spent most of my day in a special place that brings peace to me. I lost someone very dear and beloved. I still hurt. I still grieve. I still miss that person. Today is the 1st anniversary. My family has been wonderful to me throughout this. They have been there for me. My special place started with church this morning. Peaceful.
Prayer is consoling. Next, I spent a good part of the day at a spot near the beach with a beautiful view. I wrote down thoughts in a journal. I wrote some notes to a few special people in my life. But most important, I was in deep thought about this person, who was so special to me. This person is at peace and looking down on me lovingly. I know that. I can feel that. Today was my day to stop, take a breath and just think. I hope you all have a special place for reflecting.

Boat lovin' Man!


...and one more idea for Father's Day...

these nautical chart tile clocks are handmade in Massachusetts. Many North Eastern coastal areas, the Islands and Florida are offered to be made as a nautical chart or tide clock. I have a chart clock of my town and have it displayed in our family room. Great for a den, office, enclosed porch.........Visit PicturePerfectGifts on Etsy.

"Tie one on" for Dad!









....Ok, there's atleast one tie planned for someone on your Father's Day list be it hubby, father, grandfather, uncle, etc. To kick-off summer and baseball season, the variety of MLB ties and sport-themed ties and bowties from Vineyard Vines are sure to be a hit....I love them!
