I'm from the heartland, and I will always be a midwestern girl even as the years I've been living in Dallas - update: we just moved to Orlando - fly by. These are my daily musings and interests for my family in Ohio, who I see far too little of, and for anyone else who cares what I had for dinner. Feel free to email me at jecgirlie@gmail.com.

You Can't Take the Ohio Out of the Girl

Cleaned apartment. Did laundry. Went to the grocery store. Ready for Mom and Pops to visit!

My hubby flew out this morning and my parents are coming to keep me company, wahoo! It’s so nice that Ohio to Florida airline tickets are less expensive than Ohio to Texas. I get to see my family more :)

If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have. John O’Donohue (via plusgregory)

Golf golf golf golf…

My husband met Arnold Palmer on the golf course today. Now I’m pretty sure we are never leaving Florida.

Patio evening at Palmano’s yesterday.  I get him for one more night before he hits the road again.

Kayaks crowd Three Sisters Springs, where people and mantees maintain a controversial coexistence. To reach warm water they need to survive winter, manatees often must run a gantlet of kayakers and snorkelers eager to interact with the marine mammals.

Oooh, I wonder where in Florida this is…the water is beautiful!  Sounds like people are disturbing the manatees though?  :-/

Indeed.  So many big talkers.  So little action.  I think everyone should have a cause they are passionate about and actually do something to help that cause.  Life before volunteering was so me focused.  Crazy how some people go their whole lives without experiencing the joy of giving back.  And no, raising kids doesn’t count.  As soon as they are old enough, they should be involved.  I remember riding in the backseat of my parents car, putting bags of toiletries together for Iraqi women/children during the war.  My mom put the stuff in the car because what else were we going to do in the backseat?  What a great mom I have, btw :)
