Walking
My daughter in law had her appointment with her surgeon today. He was very pleased with the progress and healing from her ankle surgery several weeks ago. He traded her stiff boot for a fancy lace up brace. And he encouraged her to try walking now without a cane or any assistance device. She took […]
Music Day
We have been wondering what to do with the filing cabinet full of music that my mom had. The other day, my mom’s piano duet playing friend came over and looked through the music. She paired up the duet pieces and took quite a stack with her. Today my sisters and I got together on […]
Persistence
I read a reflection from the Word Among Us this morning about persistence. It reminded me of my friend so I shared it with her. It said in part: “Our Heavenly Father treasures persistence because He knows what it can produce in His children. Persistence keeps our eyes fixed on Him, and it helps us […]
Sharing Good News
I heard from a friend today who has been caring for her mother for many years. She has been consistently going to agencies seeking help and praying for it as well. Today she was thrilled to share the good news that she was finally able to get some financial relief. I was so happy that […]

Busy Lunch
I went to lunch with a friend today, not really thinking about the fact that it was Veteran’s Day. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a 30 minute wait. We figured it would take us that long to decide where else to go and to get there and such, so we put our […]
Got Some Help
A friend has been on my mind, so I gave her a call this afternoon. She has been struggle with some pain issues, but doesn’t trust traditional doctors. I have been worried about her living alone and trying to function when it is so hard for her to get around. I was so glad to […]
Finally Out
The past 3 days I have been hunkering down at home with most of the state as we have experienced a rare 3 day snowstorm. In the time that I have lived here, I have never seen anything like it – especially in November. The kids didn’t have school and some roads were closed during […]
