September 30 is International Podcast Day, so we wanted to highlight a few that we enjoy. If you have never heard of a podcast or you want to learn more, read below!
Podcasts have been around since the early-2000's as a way to produce radio-style shows in a format where people can listen to them on their own time and from anywhere. The first podcasts were delivered to the public on the internet with the first-known podcast named The BackStage Pass giving people the chance to hear interviews at their own leisure with well-known artists such as B.B. King and The Beach Boys. Since then, smartphones now have apps that combine all podcasts in one place for people to listen from their phones. They can be played while in the house, driving in the car or while on the computer. The purpose of them is to give people a more personalized experience and provide a convenient way to listen to the...
Today marks the first day in fall and although we live in Florida and do not experience the season as fully as our northern neighbors, there are plenty of ways to get into the fall spirit. From table settings to outdoor decorations, you can turn your home into an inviting and cozy space.
Add pumpkin motifs
Nothing screams fall quite like pumpkins do. Whether you already have pumpkin decorations or you want to find new ones to match modern styles, make sure you have all different sizes and colors. For chic home décor, Pottery Barn has beautiful pumpkin décor with neutral colors or cost-effective options are available at Target.
Swap flowers for dried grass or leaves
Wispy grasses make a home look more like fall with their brown and more neutral colors as opposed to the pops of colors that summer flowers bring to the home. These are some great ideas to start, but you can easily go to the beach and grab...

“No day shall erase you from the memory of time.”- Virgil
Those are the words etched on the walls of the September 11 Memorial Museum in steel recovered from the Twin Towers. Twenty years ago, our nation suffered a horrific attack in New York City at the World Trade Center site and at the Pentagon, on September 11, 2001. In a terror attack aimed at the symbols of America’s power and prosperity, 2,977 people were killed and over 6,000 were injured. There were no survivors on the hijacked planes and only 20 survivors were pulled out of the flaming rubble. The tragedy is one of the largest losses of life due to a foreign attack on American soil, as well as the greatest loss of rescue personnel (in one incident) in American history.
There was nothing more shocking than that dark day in history. Everyone remembers exactly where they were and how they felt that day. It was a heartbreaking time but...
The long Labor Day weekend is just around the corner, which is a great time to get together with friends and family.
Here are a few ideas of fun things to bring to any gathering that are sure to surprise everyone.
Mini hot dogs burgers – The most traditional summer foods as we know them are hot dogs and hamburgers, but sometimes they’re just too much for us to eat. Make them into fun-sized hotdog burger for people to enjoy and kids will love them too!
Grilled veggie skewers – Going to the healthier side, these skewers are both good for you and delicious. When you grill veggies, they are always tastier!
Watermelon sangria – This refreshing and easy-to-make sangria will be something everyone enjoys. Put it all in a hollowed-out watermelon for an extra festive vibe!
S’more’s brownies – What dessert just screams “summer”? S’mores of course! Since Labor Day marks the end of summer, why not give everyone the gift of these s’more's...
Labor Day was first celebrated in the far-off state of Oregon, way back in 1887. This was during a time when people were working 60 hours a week in difficult conditions. Labor unions pushed for less hours and began with a street parade to show a unified Today, it pays tribute to American workers and all their achievements.
OurSeniors.net salutes the men and women who worked so hard to make our nation strong, prosperous and free. Every person in Florida and throughout the United States has benefited from the productive energy of the seniors who have contributed so much to our nation, its defense and its economy.
Relax, have a cook-out, watch a football game and enjoy this Labor Day!...
Founded five years ago, OurSeniors.org was started out of inspiration from a retired nurse that visited nursing homes and spoke words from the Bible to provide comfort to those living there. The OurSeniors.net team got involved by gathering gifts, blankets, jackets, stuffed animals and cookies to make them feel cared for. This has continued for many years and this past Christmas, the team took over 200 blankets and gifts along with over 500 cookies made by our friend and featured Amazing Senior, Barbara Andersen.
Less than 5 percent of all nursing homes, rehabs and assisted living facilities are able to receive visitors, which can be difficult for seniors that wish to interact with their families or friends. While facilities try their best to care for residents, they are not able to spend all their time on any one person at a time. This leaves room for feelings of abandonment and resentfulness. OurSeniors.org tries to change this by visiting seniors in facilities...
Whether your family is small or large, lives close or far, today is a great day to reach out to your kids and grandkids. With each passing day, time flies by and before you know it, the grandkids are graduating college, getting married and you have great-grandkids!
Connecting with family members can be a bit of work now and then, especially when the holidays are a few months away and there’s not much of a reason to talk other than to schedule upcoming plans. Sometimes, it’s easier to use a birthday or anniversary as an excuse to strike up a conversation. We think that right now (while it’s still summer) is a great time to reach out. Ask about any recent vacations, try to share photos of fun things that have been happening and see about future vacations or plans so you can feel more a part of their lives....
