A Girl’s First Nutcracker
A friend’s daughter had the opportunity to participate in the Boston Ballet school. I remember when the mom talked about it, she wasn’t sure if it would be an overall good thing or not as it would be very hectic for the family, but they decided to go for it. The school soon got ready […]
A Pampering
Perhaps this sounds vain, but I have been struggling to like my hair for several years. It has changed – grays are coming in, texture is different – it just won’t do what it used to. So I have been struggling trying to find a hairstyle that I am happy with. I don’t feel like […]
Appreciating the Elderly
Today I went to the grocery store just to pick up a few things. I approached the busy check-outs and thought about using the do-it-yourself scanners but I had some produce and don’t really know how that works. The “Express” line looked short enough, so I stood in line. There was an elderly woman being […]
Christmas Music
A while back, I told my parents that I wanted to go some kind of Christmas show this year. In the past, I made it somewhat of a tradition to bring my kids and others to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. Every year we would invite different people to come along with us. It was a […]
Perfect Timing
It was a beautiful day today, so we decided to make a trip up to the cabin. As we approached, we passed by the house of a good friend who my parents have not seen in quite some time. He is not in the area right now and my parents were talking about him and […]
Cause to Celebrate
Today I took my parents to their appointment with the heart doctor. First the nurse showed us in, and took their vitals. Then the technician came in and went through all the informational questions to enter into the computer. Before he left, we exchanged “Merry Christmas” and he told us that he was very grateful […]
Patient Parents, Kind Kids
This afternoon I went shopping. I figured I would run into lots of moms and kids as schools let out and I was right. I remember doing that with my own children. After school seems like a good time frame so you can get a few things accomplished before going home. But it has been […]
A Relic
A friend of mine knows a gentleman who worked on the engine for the Apollo 11 through 17 moon landing missions. He often comes into the shop where she works and she always looks forward to seeing him as they have great conversations. He has interesting stories to tell and he listens as well as […]
Prayer To Be Merciful
This morning I went to my book about St. Faustina and opened to a prayer she wrote about being merciful. Since Pope Francis declared that this would be the “Year of Mercy”, I have been coming across the word mercy all the time. This prayer really touched my heart and I feel it is something I […]
Goodies and Companionship
Yesterday I plugged my dad’s printer into my computer for the first time and was excited that the computer just figured out how to connect them. I printed a couple of things and it worked great. Unfortunately, when it came time to blog, it wouldn’t recognize the keyboard or mouse. Then I couldn’t get it […]
