Singing Hymns

My mom and I went to church this morning and sat in our “usual spot”. Typically my mom sits on the end so it is easy for the Eucharistic Ministers who deliver communion to those who have a difficult time going down the main aisle. Next to my mom would be my dad, then me […]

LaLa Land

My dad and brother went up to the cabin for a few days, so my mom and I have stuck around home. Today my son came over to just hang out for the day. We all went out for pizza for lunch. Then we played a couple of games of Yahtzee – one of our […]

Listened to Her Heart

Tonight my mom and I watched a story on the news about a father who lost his 20 year old daughter in a tragic accident. Her organs were donated and were able to save 4 lives. The father started a bike trek across the country to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation. On […]

Baby Birds

I went out for a walk early this morning and when I came back to the front door, a bird flew out of the nest as they always do. I realized it had been a couple of days since I had my selfie stick out to take a peek at the progress of the eggs. […]

Thesis Dedication

My son dropped by this morning and delivered a copy of his Masters Thesis to my dad. As my dad looked through the first few pages, he came across the dedication. My son dedicated his work to my dad because of his support and for being the person who got him interested in science at […]

Help To Move

It is said that you know you have a really good friend when you call them at the last minute to help you move and they show up immediately. Well, my sister is in the process of moving and is 2 days from the close of selling her current place. She lives about 1 1/2 […]

Superfoods

Today my parents, my brother, and I got to talking about the “superfoods” – those touted to have exceptional nutritional value. Included in the list are avocados, quinoa, coconut  oil, blueberries, chia, almonds, and salmon. I thought about this and realized that many of these foods originate in different parts of the world. I wondered […]

Back to the Farm

Last year around Easter time, my parents and I made a trip to my sister’s farm to see the new baby chicks they had received. Since then, we have been wanting to get back up there and see the progress, but it hasn’t worked out. Today seemed like the perfect opportunity. We went to church […]

An Old Recipe

As I was searching for recipes today, my mother’s old tin recipe box fell out of the cupboard and onto the floor. Luckily, there were only a few of the handwritten recipe cards and notes that fell out. I opened the box to see if I could figure out where they belonged, but after looking […]

Walk Before Heat

It was another hot day today, so my mom and I went for a walk around the housing complex before noon. We came upon one of my mom’s friends, so we stopped to chat for a while. It was trash day and as we continued, the trash truck came around the corner. We figured out […]
