In Our Hearts
Yesterday was the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today was the Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Is it coincidence that yesterday the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and that today new gun laws were passed? In the words of President Biden, “I know there’s much more work to do, and […]
The Sleepover
We were blessed to have 2 of my grandchildren stay with us for a couple of days. There was one little accident, but we all made it through. We played games, went for walks, watched the hawks, played pretend, and even did yoga. One of my grandson’s favorite games is Monopoly. We have a Star […]
Sleepover 1
Tonight 2 of my grandchildren are spending the night as their parents enjoy some time away. It is a busy blessed day. I’ll elaborate tomorrow. I Found God today in my grandchildren.
Re-Reading
I was just perusing my previous blogs this evening. When I started writing, I simply wanted to shed a little light on the love and goodness that God offers every day. What I have received is so much more. I have managed to capture a somewhat decent record of my and my family’s live events. […]
More Crazy Wildlife
In the dining room, there is a large window that faces the yard with the large pine tree that holds the hawk’s nest. The grassy area has a rod iron fence around it with a sidewalk and street on the other side. We like looking out at the squirrels, birds, bunnies, and people walking their […]
Fine Father’s Day
I knew today would be tough without my dad here. So I tried to keep my mind on good things. I thought of many wonderful men that I have been blessed to have in my life and sent them a note. They have inspired me, kept me on the right track, and been someone for […]
Dove Wisdom
My mom and I made a trip to the cabin today. It was bittersweet. The last time we were there was a year and a half ago with my dad. Unfortunately, at that time, he had no recollection of the house he had lovingly built with family and friends 40 years ago and quickly became […]
Saving Baby Bunny
Early this morning I heard a lot of commotion in the basement. I looked in the window well and saw a tiny baby bunny who was trying to get out. It would try to jump straight up, but only made it a few inches. It tried jumping onto the window screen and climbing up, but […]
Roses
Today at my grief support group, I told a story of how my dad found an offshoot from the rosebush that had sprouted near the sidewalk. That was not a good place for it to be, so he pulled it up and we replanted it in a bare spot. It was no more than a […]
Andy Griffith Wisdom
The other day, I was talking with my son about the difficulty of raising children. There are so many “things” pulling them in different directions, all having allure and temptation. A friend shared this description of an Andy Griffith episode and it spoke to my heart: When a hobo told Andy he should just let […]
