Growing Granddaughter
The other day I made plans to take my daughter in law and granddaughter to the park. I was happy that my mom felt up to coming too. The weather was perfect – not too hot or too cool and the wind was not blowing. We started at the playground. My granddaughter is very cautious. […]
Death, Where is Your Sting
Yesterday I attended a memorial service for a friend’s mother. She and her husband lost 3 of their parents in about a year and a half. I thought about them the rest of the evening and dreamed about loved ones who have died. I woke up this morning feeling might low. I felt that it […]

It was an exciting day around the city as the Air Force Academy graduation was today. President Biden was in town to address the graduates. And the Air Force Thunderbirds took to the sky. I had errands to run today, but saw them in formation a couple of times. There were a lot of people […]
