New High School Graduate
Today my nephew graduated from high school. It has been a tumultuous road for him, like it is for most teens. We were even unsure if he was going to make it to the ceremony itself as he was not feeling well. But – he did it. I was so happy I was able to attend. […]
Quality of Life
My poor old dog is continuing on a downward spiral and I have been questioning if I am doing what I need to and/or should be doing to help her through this last stage of her life. I was able to make an appointment with the wonderful vet that we saw last month and took […]
Some Days are Good
I had to run a few errands today and as I finished one and was headed out to my car, I encountered a woman and her 2 children coming out of the Department of Motor Vehicles. They were all very joyful as they held hands and swung their arms. I heard the woman speak enthusiastically to […]
A Good Check-up
Today I took my mom to the doctor for a check-up. Before she went, she wrote down the list of things that she wanted to discuss. My dad jokingly (or not so much) said to make sure to keep the list so he can use it next time he has to go. Her doctor was […]
Rite of Spring
My parents have had season tickets to the Philharmonic Symphony for many years and attend about 8 concerts during the year. Today was the last performance of the season. They asked if I wanted to go too, which I did, so my dad purchased a ticket for me a few weeks ago. We got all […]
Joyful Connections

New Home
My son and his wife have been working very hard for the past 12 years since their marriage. Like us all, there have been times when they have abundance and times when they have struggled. As they are expecting their 3rd child, they knew the house they had been renting for many years would not […]
Quick Answer
My poor old dog is really having a hard time. It is difficult for her to go very far, so she stays home now for my daily walk to the mailbox, which is about 1/2 mile round trip. As I walked this evening, I enjoyed looking at the scenery and the interesting clouds in the sky. […]
All About Physics
Recently my dad received a video course about Higgs boson, which according to Wikipedia is an “elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics.” My dad taught college physics for years. He has been watching the video course and reading the accompanying book and said that he needed to go back and review it […]
Music Appreciation
I had a wonderful evening tonight. I started by meeting some of my siblings for dinner. Then we headed over to the high school where my nephew was playing in his last high school concert as he is graduating. There were several different instrumental groups – percussion, jazz band, orchestra, chamber orchestra, quartet, concert band… […]
