Not Hurt Worse
My sister called today and sounded very weary. Come to find out, she fell down the stairs at her house a couple of days ago. She tripped on the second to the last step and landed flat out, skidding on the concrete floor. She did go to the doctor and get checked out and although […]
Real Time Joy
Today is my oldest grandson’s birthday and we were able to video chat for a while this evening. We sent him a package and he waited to open it until we were connected. It was fun to watch him open the gift and see his reaction in real time. After a while my younger grandson […]
Christmas Music Back On
We haven’t seen my mom’s piano buddy for quite a few weeks as she had a lot of things happening. She came over today and we all got caught up on the family events. After a while, she and my mom got out some Christmas music and started playing. She also brought over some easier […]
Continued Appreciation
Today my parents and I continued noticing and appreciating the marked improvement in my mom’s physical health in the last year. On our way to her exercise class, she was doing her voice exercises and actually flipped into her singing voice. She was able to do it several times. That hasn’t happened in years. Then […]
God is Multifacial
At church today, the priest told of a little girl who was learning about Jesus nearing Christmas time. She asked how all of God could fit into a little baby? He said that was a good question. Not only is God fully and completely in Jesus, He is in each one of us too. The […]
Excellent Timing
This afternoon we planned on leaving from the cabin to head home. We figured out the timing so we would reach the city before dark and find a place to take a picture of the rising almost super moon. But, my dad discovered a problem that needed some attention. It didn’t set us back too […]
Walking Strong
We spent some time at the cabin today enjoying the beautiful weather. As usual, my mom and I went for a walk in the afternoon. The driveway and road are all gravel and it is difficult to use her walker, so my mom takes her cane instead. She hangs onto my arm especially up and […]
Creatively Enjoying Creation
My dad got me a new “real” camera for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I have been playing around with it and figuring out how it works. This evening, I went outside and took some shots of the near full moon and the sunset. The results were amazing. I even impressed my dad […]
Dance-Off
At my mom’s Parkinson’s exercise class, there are several college students who help and learn at the same time. They serve as “spotters”. They stay close to each participant in case they become off balance or start to fall. The young adults also come up with different activities or “stations” for the participants to work […]
Ironically Dated Letter
As my dad continues to sort through old family memorabilia, he has come across very interesting photos, articles, and writings. Today he found a letter that was written by his uncle in 1969. Ironically, the date on the letter was the same as that of his sudden death. He must have written the letter and […]
