Preparing the Turkey
I went to the Newman Center today and enjoyed visiting with the young adults. I love to hear their outlook on life in their current state of being. Some have a deep faith, others are searching. Today I was especially enthralled watching one of the young men preparing the turkey for tomorrow’s Friendsgiving dinner. He […]
Long Distance DWTS
I have been watching Dancing With the Stars fairly regularly. Last year when I was helping my daughter in law after surgery, we would watch it together with my grandson too. He moved out of state last month. My daughter in law has been missing the things that they would do together. Tonight as I […]
The Drones
A couple of weeks ago, my sons asked if I was free last night. I said I was. They said that they would pick me up and planned something for my birthday. I had no idea what it was. My siblings and I tried to guess in our weekly Zoom session before they arrived. I […]
New Priest
We recently got a new pastor at our parish. I had seen him before in other churches and appreciated his down to earth attitude, which comes through in his homilies. He gave the parishioners an opportunity to sign up to share a meal with him. My prayer group and I signed up and met him […]
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
A friend of mine knew a family whose child was in an acting troupe, so today we went to their production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. It was fantastic fun. I love the movie and wondered how they were going to fit all of that on a stage, but they did a […]
Not As Bad
My son hurt his back again a couple days ago and is very upset as he has to be out of work for a while, which is understandable. I was out and about today and stopped by their house to check in. My son was moving around pretty well, which surprised me as last I […]
Blessed Birthday
I woke up this morning thanking my parents and God for bringing me into existence on my birthday. I thought it would be good to begin my next year with a clean slate. So, I left the house early and went to Confession. I felt relieved and peaceful after hearing the prayers of forgiveness. Sometimes […]
Zoom Rosary
I was at the Newman Center today visiting with my priest friend when he received a phone call. He excused himself and when he returned, he looked concerned. He asked for prayers for a family member who had been in an accident and had to be airlifted to the hospital. After telling the story to […]
Playing with Poodle Pups
A friend of mine breeds poodles. The last litter there were only 2 puppies, but I had fun playing with them. She has a new litter now with 9 puppies. They are 7 weeks old. I got to go for a visit today. Raising 9 puppies took up the whole main floor of her house. […]
Family Connections
Yesterday I visited a friend and showed her the photos from my recent trip. Today I had lunch with a different friend and told her about the trip and shared the pictures with her as well. Last week when I visited another friend, part of our conversation was the same as I had the last […]
