Pivoting
This morning my grandson and I got up early and went to an event that he has been looking forward to. He packed up his camera things and we headed to the venue where the foot race was to be held. When we arrived, his camera’s battery was depleted. He wasn’t worried as he brought his […]
But The People
As we have been travelling off the beaten path, we have been meeting such nice, chatty people. There was the woman who made breakfast at the hotel who told us about her childhood participating in the rodeo and found out later in life that her family was involved in the Mafia. One store owner brought […]
Different View
My grandson and I continued across the country today. At one point we stopped at a Maverick in Nebraska. My grandson thought it was one of the most amazing gas stations he had ever seen. It had lots of food for the road. He came across a display case of donuts, so we had to […]
State Stories
My grandson has been excited to create video stories during our road trip. He has a whole vision of doing a segment in almost every state we drive through. The series would be named, appropriately, “State Stories.” He even set up a YouTube channel for the collection. Yesterday as we explored little towns near Mount […]
Starting the Road Trip
My grandson and I started on our road trip today. Our first stop was Mount Rushmore. I had seen photos of the faces lit at night and did a little research. We arrived at dusk and walked around a bit. Once it was darker, there was a presentation by a park ranger at the amphitheater. […]
Remembering
I had my Monday visit with an elderly woman this morning. I asked her if she knew what day it was. She questioned if I meant the day of the week, or the date. I told her it was a special day. Then I showed her the booklet I brought her of patriotic poems and […]
Sacraments Are Real
When I got to church today, I was surprised to see that the Bishop was there. The reason was that it was the parishes’ Confirmation Mass. He told an amazing story when he gave the homily. He said that during COVID, he was not yet a Bishop, but a priest caring for a parish. He […]
Walking Tess
My brother is here visiting for the long weekend. Usually he gets up before me and takes his dog Tess out for a walk. When I woke up this morning I thought it would be nice to go for a long walk first thing. I was surprised, however, when I was all ready to go […]
Getting Ready
My grandson works at an auto parts store, so as I’m preparing to take a road trip, he helped me pick out some emergency equipment. Today’s weather was very nice, so I got my car cleaned out and tried out the devices. My brother arrived just in time as I was trying to figure out […]
Done with PT
Last year, after my mom died, I think my body retaliated. I had lots of strange things such as styes in my eye, more basal skin spots, and rapid weight gain. I was also in a lot of pain – particularly in my back. My doctor gave me the treatment options, one of which was […]
