Devotions from Judy’s heart On our first day in Sanibel when we had just come back from the beach, seeing my aunt’s place, and walking to the light house, Stanton asked if he should heat up the hot tub for us. I felt like he had already shown us so much he didn’t need to…

I noticed a most unusual sight as I watered my plants today. I have a 4 tier plant stand and a plant on the second level has also planted part of itself in the soil of the pot on the 4th level. It is trying to take over not only it’s own pot but that…

! Devotions from Judy’s heart A couple nights ago Al’s cell phone not only went through the wash but was in the dryer for a short time before it was caught. I remembered hearing about putting wet cell phones in rice and went on line to find out exactly how to do it. It sat…
