Good morning, everyone! It’s Monday, May 29, 2023, and here in the United States 
, we’re celebrating Memorial Day! As I drove down the streets this morning, I couldn’t help but notice the beautiful American flags lining the way. It’s a reminder of the incredible sacrifice made by the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the military. Today, we honor their memory and express our gratitude.

While enjoying my cup of joe, I’ll be delving into my morning devotional time. Today, my prayers will be with the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference, currently in session at the Ridge Conference Center in North Carolina. 
I hope their conference is filled with inspiration, knowledge, and meaningful connections.

There’s something magical about sipping a steaming cup of coffee while fingers to keyboard.
Oh, and before I forget, I have a quick errand to run at the store on my way home. I need to pick up a couple of bags of ice and some health and beauty items. Gotta be prepared for any situation that arises! 
Yesterday was a blast! We had an amazing pool party 
and celebrated the third birthdays for my girlfriend’s grandson.
