Appreciating My Brother
I am grateful my brother is here for a couple of days. It didn’t take long for us to get back into the routine we established over a year ago when he stayed for a while after my dad’s stroke. We have a good working system where I do most of the cooking and he […]
Vacation at the Farm
My brother came today to stay a few days. Instead of boarding his dog, he brought her over to vacation at my sister’s farm. They texted back and forth during the evening to get the routine down and to just touch base. My brother was sad that there wasn’t a doggie cam so he could […]
Puzzles and More
I’m grateful we had another year of father’s day celebrating with my dad. Yesterday my sister and her husband came over for a bit. While they were here, my dad received a package from my brother. Once we connected on FaceTime, my dad opened his gift. It was a puzzle of the planets and a […]
Funny Dog Sitter
This evening as we headed out for a walk, we were met by a little barking ball of white fluff. The neighbor was walking her daughter’s dog who she was sitting for. She had a retractable leash on the dog, but didn’t know how to use it and the leash was locked with a very […]
Encouraging Nephew
Today I received an unexpected phone call from my nephew. He started by thanking us for his birthday wishes. From there, we talked about how relaxing vacation time was. He and his wife visited a little while ago and discovered they had an additional day, so they decided to spend it just enjoying the time […]
Finally Seeing Better
My mom has been struggling trying to read her piano music for a long time now. Finally a couple of weeks ago we were able to order her new glasses and were excited to pick them up today. We brought some piano music with us to test them out. She put them on and held […]
Just Grateful
I spent today feeling very grateful for many people and circumstances. My two sisters and brother were here at the house taking care of things while I was away for a few days. One sister stayed the entire time and left this afternoon. I was so grateful for the time that they took to allow […]
Finally Home
I was supposed to fly back home last night. However, I got stuck in the airlines big “computer issues” and I didn’t make it. When I talked to the attendant to rebook she said there was one seat left for flights that she could put me on leaving this morning. I took it. Little did […]
One on One Time
As I spent my last day with my son and his family before I head back home, I thought about how grateful I am. We had much to celebrate and a lot of fun. And I was able to spend one an one time with each of my grandkids. I read, played Barbies, and put […]
Meaningful Message
My sisters called this morning asking about watching Mass on TV with my parents. The church we usually watch was difficult to get connected, so they watched the local parish. Later on family Zoom, my sister told me how much she like the priest and his homily. He talked about some of the traditions of […]
