Family Excursion
Going to the zoo has always been one of the family favorite things to do. My parents used to have a membership to the local zoo and they visited quite frequently, but as time went by it got too difficult for them to walk the distance and the hills. Years have passed since they have […]
Origin of Man
My brother who lives in another state is here to visit for a couple of days. My other brother is here also. They are both computer programmers/engineers. When they get together with my dad the previous physics teacher, there are always various in-depth conversations. Most of the time I listen for a while, then move […]
New Mother’s Excitement
I went to my hair stylist today and she announced that she is pregnant. It was very cute, because instead of “I” she used the term “we”. The only time she talked in the singular was when she was talking about the way she felt and changes to her body. She said, “We are expecting […]
A Big Hug
I went to the grocery store today with my list in hand, starting in the produce as usual. I was lost in my own thoughts as I grabbed a bag off the holder. When I turned around I was startled to see a girl standing right in front of me. “Hi!” she said. “Hello!” I […]
Interesting Mass
It was an interesting day at church this morning. To begin with, the usual “ushers” were not there. The volunteers who were there tried desperately to do the job, but it was clear they were all very uncertain about what they were doing. There was even a lull during the service as we waited for […]
Experimental Procedure
My mom and I went to the Parkinson’s support group this morning. The speaker was a member of the group who had an experimental procedure done last year. He had a series of 1024 beams of ultrasound focused to a specific spot in his brain. When all the beams come together at one spot, they […]
Fix It Day
Lately, there have been some things going wrong, which has been frustrating – especially to my dad. This afternoon while my mom got her haircut, my dad and I ran some errands. Each place he went in to do business had no waiting. He just walked right in and got things taken care of. When […]
Caregiver Workshop
Yesterday I was happy to be able to attend a caregiver’s workshop. There were about 60 people in attendance with all different scenarios. Just at my table, there was a woman living with her father, a woman whose mother was living with her and her husband who was also babysitting for their 3 year old […]
Coinciding Home Situations
Tonight my mom called and spoke to her sister. My aunt told us that one of her son’s is preparing to move closer to her, which of course makes her very happy. Evidently, the area he currently lives in has been in a housing recession, and he wouldn’t be able to recoup the cost of […]
Works of Art
My dad bought some cute little girl statues a few years ago that are displayed outside during the summer. They have been just plain with a grayish stone type finish. During the winter, they are brought into the house. Typically they get moved from place to place because people feel like they are staring at […]
