YMCA
During the past year, I have been going to physical therapy for problems with my hip. One of the places I went to had a swimming pool and it felt great doing the therapy in the water. Since then, I have been wanting to join the local YMCA that has exercise classes in their pool. […]
She Has the Answers
This evening, my parents and I watched the NFL pre-season football game. We follow our team to some extent, but not overly so. There were many new people who we did not recognize or know anything about. Each time my dad and I asked a question, my mom had some answers for us. It was […]
A New Car
My son has been having problems with his car recently – well, since we drove it across the country to move him here. It has almost 200,000 miles on it, so it wasn’t really surprising. He was hoping to make it last until he got his student loans paid off and then look at buying […]
Gracious Words
My son has been having serious problems with his car, so we decided to go car shopping today. As we talked with one salesperson, he mentioned that his mother was in another state caring for his grandmother who has Parkinson’s. I told him that I was caring for my parents and that my mother has […]
Little Sunshine
It was very rainy today – cloudy, gloomy, and cool all day which is highly unusual for the area. One of my friends on the other side of the country shared on social media some pictures of fields of sunflowers that she was visiting. Tonight she posted one from her own garden with the caption, […]
Disney Binge
Last night I was really in the mood to watch a movie, but it was too late to start. Today after church, it was a pretty quiet afternoon. Unfortunately, my mom wasn’t feeling well, so she has been taking it easy, resting and napping. Also, I was a little sore from horseback riding yesterday. So […]
The Big 60
Today is my older brother’s 60th birthday, so we planned a day of celebration. My son’s girlfriend was here for a visit, and it was great to have her join in the festivities. My brother requested homemade pizza for his birthday meal and a dessert of peach strudel. I had never made strudel before, but […]
Dad’s Physics Interview
Today my dad received a phone call from a man who worked for him while he was in the Air Force about 40 years ago. He was a “young kid” when my dad first met him. They worked together in meteorology and weather forecasting. The gentleman had retired himself as a Lieutenant Colonel 17 years […]
Going Gluten Free
I have had a pretty sensitive stomach for quite a few years now and have realized that gluten plays a big factor in that. Typically, I will go a while staying away from gluten, then eating a little, then a little more, then having an upset stomach. It’s a vicious cycle. I have been doing […]
One More Milestone
My nephew who joined the Navy a few months ago reached one more milestone. Today he graduated from his training and is officially a Seabee. My sister was there for the ceremony and sent some pictures. He has definitely changed during the time he has been away and he looked great. I could see the […]
