The Moose

The other day my friends told me that there had been a moose in their driveway. Their son who lives next door came out and took some photos. Evidently she had been wandering around the neighborhood there for a couple of weeks. This morning when I arrived at their house, there was a pickup truck […]

Finding Prayers

Today I was at a friend’s house helping her clean out some things. She had a super cute little stand with small drawers and a place to stash books and magazines on the outside. It was located next to her comfy chair, but she was unable to reach the drawers at all. I pulled out […]

Sharing Bread

My daughter in law texted me tonight saying that she had made some cardamom buns and wondering if I would like one. I said yes please. She was out delivering, so brought one to me. It was funny as I had made a banana bread recipe with steel cut oats. When my daughter in law […]

Wisdom from Pope Francis

Today is the anniversary of the death of Pope Francis. I came across this timely, beautiful quote, “We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it. We have had enough of immorality and the […]

People in my Life

I had a busy, but wonderful weekend and I am feeling grateful for the people and relationships in my life. On Saturday I spent some time at a kind of mini retreat day with some ladies I didn’t really know too well. It was nice to get to know one another better. My mom’s best […]

Helping Again

Before I started working my job with the CPA, I was helping an elderly couple that I know. While I was busy with my job, a friend who helped care for my mom was able to step in for me. I was glad that it worked out for everyone. Since I finished my job on […]

What is Trust

I was happy to go to Mass today and I thought the homily was something that I have been longing to hear. The topic was on trusting God. The priest talked about how we may think we are not trusting God with a certain situation or challenge, because we can still worry or be afraid. […]

Finished Work

Today was the last day at my job working for the CPA. I enjoyed what I did, though it was more than I anticipated with longer days and a huge learning curve. But when all was said and done, I did learn the computer system, the filing system, and how to best work with my […]

Tad Off Perfect

I listened to the reflection on Hallow today by Jeff Cavins. He told a story about a conversation he had with a gentleman comparing the sound of today’s music with that of the 1970’s. The music now has so much technological influence, it can be created with no flaws. The description that he used for […]

Musical Children

I spent some time this afternoon with my son, his wife, and her mother. We went to tea at one of the local landmarks. The venue also hosts a period feast at Christmas with a king and queen and madrigals. My daughter in law’s mom talked about how much she enjoyed being in that choir […]
