Mind At Ease
We recently had some hail damage to the cabin and are working on getting it fixed. One of the issues is that the rubber boot around one of the vent pipes was completely destroyed. The assessor who looked at it fixed it temporarily with about half a roll of duct tape, but there has been […]
Old New Neighbor
I have been able to get to know several people at the aqua aerobics class that I have been going to for about a year now. Today during the class, one of the ladies said she was going to host a get together for another ladies’ birthday. I found out that she lives in the […]
Cookie Thief
This afternoon when my mom, her friend, and I went to lunch, we stood in line behind a woman who was ordering. She was holding a baby and her daughter, who was about 3 years old, was to the side and behind holding the stroller. There were packages of giant cookies about eye level to […]
Up, Up and Away
Our city hosts a hot air balloon festival every year over the Labor Day weekend. I have seen them from afar the past couple of years and was very happy that I was able to go to the park to see them up close. I actually went 3 different times over the weekend and saw […]
Silence
Today at church, the priest talked about not being distracted by worldly things that can take our attention away from God. He mentioned the movie, “Into Great Silence”, about the Carthusian monks living in a monastery in the French Alps. The film depicts the monks going about their business each day in complete silence. They […]
Zebu Keeper
My sister, brother-in-law, and I went to the state fair today. They have been trying to decide what kind of new animal they would like to introduce to their farm. They have been thinking about goats, but last time we went to the fair, we discovered the zebu which is like a miniature brahma bull. […]
Dancing Family
My dad has the perfect spot at the dinner table that looks straight out the windows. When we were finishing dinner tonight, he pointed out a family who was taking a walk. The little girl was spinning and dancing. As we watched, the mom started spinning and dancing too. Then the dad started singing. The […]
Many Care
I took my mom to have her hair cut today. The parking lot is very tight and as I pulled into a parking spot, I realized there was a woman slowly making her way down the curb to get into the car next to me. I pulled back out and moved the car over, leaving […]
Over the Migraine
The other day, I felt a migraine coming on. I knew I had done it to myself by eating foods that I shouldn’t. I was very careful that day and treated it best I could, expecting to feel better yesterday. However, the headache was still there in the background. I had one more day of […]
Well Played, God
I have been trying to read spiritual books, but I get distracted, change books, and have not been very good at disciplining myself. Yesterday at church, an instructor for a Catholic Bible School spoke about a class that will be starting soon. It lit a spark in my heart, but I thought about how much […]
