Still Celebrating
This morning I got a phone call from my son in college. When I answered, I heard many voices singing happy birthday to me, since it is my birthday. I said thank you to everyone there and asked who exactly was there? My son directs one of the groups that leads music for church and […]
A Party
My sisters came over today and threw me a little birthday party. They brought balloons and decorations and cards and a beautiful large plant. One sister made my favorite cake -homemade chocolate with buttercream frosting. The other made dinner – taco salad, another favorite. I actually sat down and doodled while she was cooking. It […]
Housing a Veteran
Today on Veterans Day, there were many ways that our military were honored. I had the Steve Harvey show on as the whole show was dedicated to those in the military and veterans. I have heard for too many years how difficult it is for those previously in the military to find jobs and make a […]
Christmas Cactus Bloom
My sister has a beautiful gigantic Christmas cactus. She grew it from cuttings off a plant my mom had about 40 years ago. My mom read in a magazine about a cactus that had been passed down through family members for a couple hundred years. We thought that was amazing. A few months ago, my […]
Come Together
Well, the election is over. The vote was so close and the nation was just about split in half. There were a lot of people very upset over the outcome. But, there was an overriding tone of the day that was about unity – bringing people together. President Elect Trump talked about just that when […]
Bigger Than Myself
As I contemplated how I was going to vote, it felt like such a heavy burden. Talking over the issues with family and friends, I felt a little better as I am likely not casting “the deciding vote”. Yes, I must vote my conscience and vote responsibly, but it is not all up to me. […]
I Voted
I received my ballot in the mail a few weeks ago.My parents and sisters and I have been pouring over the information regarding the way too many things we have the opportunity to vote for. I filled out my ballot except for the choice for president. I left it blank for a couple of days as […]
Praying For All Souls
On Wednesday, the Catholic church celebrated All Souls Day – a day when people remember and pray for their loved ones who have died. Today the cathedral had a memorial prayer service and choir concert that I took my mom to. Each family was invited to light a candle representing those who have passed away. […]
Getting Around Craft Fairs
You know it’s November when the craft fairs begin. I saw a sign at one of the local churches the other day and told my mom about it. Last year we went to a fair that was held in the town community center. My mom doesn’t have the stamina to walk through an entire fair, […]
Just to Chat
I love my nephew. He and his mom lived with us for a couple of years when he was a toddler. When they moved away, he would come and spend some time during the summer. We have always had a great relationship. Now that we live closer, I do see him from time to time, […]
