We enjoyed two days at Cocoa Beach with our friends, Clair and Edie. It was very cold, so we did not swim, but we played football on the beach and watched a rocket launch at sunset. After dinner we went to Brevard Community College to look through their telescope. We saw a nebula and Saturn, too.

Jane loved the jam so much that I offered to come over to her house and show her how easy it is to make. I brought empty jars and she had the ingredients ready. “Mmmm! This is delicious!” Jane tasted the jam on her finger and gave some to her son. We had a great time together. This year I invited her over and we made gel candles together … Continue reading The Jam Session

The New Friend

“This is for you,” I said as I handed Elizabeth a Spanish Four Laws. I was researching a deposit with our bank’s head teller and had noticed her cross necklace and the large fish symbol on her key chain. “Thank you,” she said, as she glanced into the booklet “What would you say if you were at the gates of Heaven and God asked you why He should let you in?” I queried.
