Older, Slower, but Sweet
My travelling brother came back to the state on Monday, leaving behind his warm winter place. It was actually getting too warm there and it was so mild here, he thought it was good timing. As usual, though, there is a big snowstorm approaching. He brought his trailer to the shop today, not wanting to […]
Worry and Release
The over 50 group that I joined at the church hosted a scamming awareness event that I attended today. A police investigator came and spoke to the group about some of the most common scams and ways to avoid them. It was very informative and somewhat alarming. The statistics show that in 2024, people over […]
Rain
We have been in a drought here like so many states across our nation. It doesn’t take much for fires to start. Luckily, around us, they have been able to get them under control fairly quickly. Every time any kind of moisture is predicted, it evaporates in the air before it even reaches the ground. […]
Bride of Christ
When I arrived early to church today, the parking lot was almost full. I figured there was probably First Communions. I was right. There were little girls in their white dresses and veils and gloves and little boys in white suits or black suits. The children sat with their families in the church pews, but […]
Still Knew Prayers
A few years ago, I met a woman and her mom when I was attending a grief support program at the church after my dad died. The mother had been recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I told them about the support group that my mother had been attending and we went all together a couple of […]
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 […]
