Sickly Homecoming
Today ended my short visit and I flew back home. When my first plane landed, all of a sudden I started sneezing uncontrollably. My eyes watered and my nose started running. I was glad it was at the end of the flight and that I had a lengthy layover so I could try to get […]
Good Grandson Time
I stayed with my son during my short trip and while I was there, he started getting a leak in his basement. This put a damper on things somewhat – literally. But, we still went to lunch with friends and family to celebrate the Confirmation. I enjoyed visiting with my daughter-in-law’s sister and mother. Later […]
Grandson’s Confirmation
The main reason for my trip was to attend my grandson’s Confirmation. After getting in late last night, I was up early this morning for the celebration. It was beautiful, of course, and I prayed the Holy Spirit really become a part of the lives of the young people who received the Sacrament. The bishop […]
Experiencing Genesis
Today I flew across the country to begin a quick visit. On the second leg of my flight, a very nice young man sat beside me. We chatted a bit, and I learned that he used to work across the street from one of the landmarks in the town I used to live in. He […]
Feeling Fortunate
It has been quite hazy here due to wild fires in nearby states. But, today the sky was clear with not a cloud during the entire day. We made a trip up to the cabin and it was just gorgeous. Some of the leaves had just started to turn and with the backdrop of the […]
Better Late Than Never
I had let my e-mails get all backed up, so I sat down at the computer today determined to plow through them. I have signed up on a novena website that sends the prayers each of the nine days for certain novenas. There were several days still sitting in my inbox. The purpose of a novena […]
People of Influence
We watched the finale of “America Ninja Warrior” last night. Some of the show’s appeal is how they highlight the way the contestants influence those around them and how others have influenced them. When my mom got up this morning, she said she had dreams all night long. She wanted to remember them to tell […]
Known
I signed up for a Bible course, so recently I have been reading scripture and a book that gives a broad overview of salvation history. One of the fundamental themes throughout the Bible is our desire to know God and His ability to truly know each one of us. This can be scary or comforting, […]
Caring Swimmers
One of the ladies from my aqua aerobics class is having a “big birthday”, so another woman hosted a party for her today. I asked if I could bring anything and the birthday girl requested truffles. I had brought some to a gathering a few months ago. So, I got busy yesterday making them. I […]
De-seeding Cucumbers
My mom is not supposed to eat seeds and nuts as it may encourage the diverticulitis, so if I serve her fresh veggies, I make sure to de-seed them. Today we stopped at Subway. As my mom ordered the toppings for her sandwich, she included cucumbers, which were sliced in beautiful circles. I reminded her […]
