Grateful For Grandson
I had an appointment this morning, so my grandson came over and spent the time with my mom. When I returned, we had such a great conversation. We talked about his job for a bit and what he had to do for the rest of the day. He told me about some plans that he […]
Exodus 14:14
In the past week or so, a certain scripture keeps popping up in different places. It also happens to be the tattoo my son has on his arm. Exodus 14:14. “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” I’m grateful for the reminder of God’s loving presence in our lives and […]
Family, New and Longtime Friends
Yesterday my sister, mom and I went to the Parkinson’s support group. We met my new friend and her mother there. I met them at the grief support group I have been attending. The mother was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s and this was the first time they attended this meeting. The larger group broke up […]
Veteran’s Day Blessing
My brother left to go back home yesterday after a great visit. He also fixes up some things on my to do list of which I am extremely grateful. When he was here a few months ago, he took much of my dad’s military memorabilia and built a beautiful shadowbox to house it all. He […]
Made the Call
A friend of my mom’s lived across the street from us 50 years ago. They have stayed in touch via the annual holiday cards, but the last time they saw each other was over 10 years ago. My mom’s friend is always the first one to send out cards at the turning of the Fall, […]
Real Revolution
There has been so much political advertising and opinions all culminating with the election. Today was all about the results. But that will only ramp up the propaganda and information that is thrown at us. I often think about how great it would be if all political parties could just agree on the basic fact […]
Baby Giraffe
My mom loves the zoo. Actually, we all do. A couple weeks ago, my mom and I watched the video of one of the giraffes giving birth. It was amazing and horrifying at the same time. She gave birth standing up, so the poor little thing dropped about 6 feet to the ground. Evidently, that’s […]
The Shadowbox
My brother hand made a beautiful shadowbox to display my dad’s military certificate, medals, epaulettes, photo, and flag. It was truly a labor of love. He had never done anything like that before, but a friend who had all the tools and knowledge helped him work it out. He brought it with him and showed […]
A Magical Day
My brother is here from out of state for a visit, so the family decided it would be a good time to celebrate my birthday. They decorated with a unicorn theme, complete with a large balloon bouquet, headbands, and accessories. We took lots of silly pictures and laughed a lot. It was such a fun […]
Solitude
There were a couple things that needed to be done at the cabin, so I went up there by myself. It was therapeutic. I put on my favorite Matt Maher CD for part of the drive and sang along. I was surprised I still knew the words as it had been a long time since […]
