Daughters
As the time for my son and his family’s move gets closer, we are spending good time together. This morning both of my daughters in law came over to my house. I have taken to just call them my daughters. We blessed ourselves with Lourdes holy water and prayed for safe travels, a good move, […]
Talk or Listen
Today I met with my group from church and we read the scripture from the Acts of the Apostles chapter 2 – Pentecost. We talked about what it must have been like for the Apostles to have so much courage to go out and talk about the “mighty Acts of God” after being so afraid […]
Karaoke
My granddaughter has been taking voice lessons for several years now. She has perfect pitch, an amazing vocal range, and a beautiful voice. When it comes time for the recitals though, she is too nervous to sing in front of others. The school’s Spring Recital is coming up soon, but again my granddaughter had stage […]
Happier
I talked to my sister for a while today as she was traveling. She had been visiting her son and a good friend of hers for a week. Even though it was tiring, she sounded so happy and energetic. It seems like it has been a while since I heard her feeling so happy. Talking […]
Garden Beauty
I have been spending a little time working in the garden each day. I figure if I do a little work every day, I won’t get too worn out and it will get cleaned up eventually. Because it was such a warm winter, many of the plants came up early and the bushes greened up. […]
Talking Stocks
When I help the older couple that I know, we get to chatting about all kinds of things. The husband told me about some of the stocks that he has bought and sold. I told him about my brother who had been able to make a living in his retirement by working the stock market. […]

At Peace
Today I went to a friend’s mom’s funeral. I met her several years ago after both our dad’s died. We were both attending the grief support group at the church. Her mom was going as well. During the session, the mom was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, which she vehemently denied in her strong New York accent. […]
Don’t Panic
When I arrived to help at my friend’s house today, the wife was in her room watching TV. She likes to watch YouTube. I went in and sat with her. She was watching a video about how Yellowstone will be exploding sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, she does get caught in the click bait […]
Grateful For Family
This morning at Mass before the usual Mother’s Day blessing, the priest announced that a very special woman was about to celebrate her 98th birthday. Her son led her out of the pew by the arm and together they walked up the stairs to the altar. When they reached the priest, the woman gave him […]
