Making Wreaths
A couple of weeks ago, I saw that one of the local florists was having an event that included making a Christmas wreath. I asked my sisters if they would be interested. One sister told me that she knew how to make them and had supplies to do so. She even used to host classes […]
Grateful for the Past
Each Thanksgiving is different from the next. My sister brought her computer over today and we took a trip down memory lane as we looked at pictures from previous holidays. We talked about and remembered the good and the bad memories that came from each one. As I thought about this, I realized that every […]
Bluest Sky
We made a quick trip to the cabin today. This morning, the weather forecaster said the sky would be clear all day long. He was right. The further we went into the mountains and the higher we went in altitude, the sky just kept turning more blue. It was noticeable and vibrant. Occasionally we would […]
Friendsgiving
The other day when my mom was at physical therapy, her therapist told us about the “Friendsgiving” she had. She bought a house earlier this year and was excited to have room to host a Thanksgiving dinner for her friends. She said it was a great success. Everyone brought different foods and had a great […]
Miracle Hands
My mom has been to her physical therapist for a couple of weeks now. She has miracle hands. She can find the exact spot that is giving my mom problems and get it worked out. We were there again today and she worked on two specific places that are causing pain. While it is not […]
Tropical Snowy Celebration
My sisters and brother in law came over this morning and when my parents and I returned from church, the house had been transformed into a tropical paradise. They decorated the entire dining room with palm tree and beach murals, a beautiful tropical bouquet, beach toys, leis, and even real coconuts. They offered me a […]
Intervening Couple
The Parkinson’s Caregiver Support Group is made up of wonderful people who do their best to take care of their loved ones. Most everyone can relate to the stories that are told around the table. Today a woman talked about when she and her husband went out for their usual walk. She was not quite […]
Uncle Sam Bank
A couple of months ago when I was visiting my son, I spent some time with my grandson who was doing his American history homework. In the book, there was a picture of a bank I used to have when I was a kid. It was in the form of a statue of Uncle Sam. […]
Amazing Cure
I got together with a couple friends tonight. We laughed a lot and exchanged lots of amazing stories. One is truly unbelievable. My friend has a relative who was diagnosed with cancer. When they started to do surgery, they realized that the cancer was very aggressive and had spread to pretty much every organ in […]
Birthday Wishers
My mom got a sudden sharp pain in her chest this morning, so we ended up in the emergency room for the majority of the day. They ran all kinds of tests, but thankfully didn’t find any blaring problems. The pain ended up going away on its own. It is not exactly how I thought […]
