Calmed the Cryer
I usually don’t go to the grocery store on Saturday, but it needed to be done today. As I made my way through the crowded aisles, I heard the sound of a baby crying. I felt so bad for the baby and the parent. Trying to finish a shopping trip with a crying baby is […]
Expectant Moms
Today my parents went to pick up a new hearing aid and have the old ones adjusted. They have been going to this particular audiologist for many years. She had a baby a little over a year ago and is pregnant again. This time, she is carrying twins. She said it was completely unexpected and […]
Moms Showing Baby Pix
My nephew who joined the Navy was able to get some time off and is in the area. This evening we made plans to get together and meet his new girlfriend. That reminded my mom of a funny story. She dated a young man in the Navy for a short while. During that time, he […]
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 […]
Twinkle, Twinkle, Grammy
My parents and I were outside this afternoon enjoying the fresh air before the storms were to roll in. As we were admiring the garden, my phone rang for a video chat. I saw it was my son and answered, hoping there would be some sort of service out there. Luckily, there was. The picture […]
Toddler Dad
Tonight at dinner, my mom was talking about a cottage on a lake that she used to visit as a child. She said it was near the cottage that my dad’s family owned. I never knew about that. My dad said they went for a few years before the Depression. During that time, they were […]
Fledglings
Yesterday when we went out the front door, we saw a couple of the baby finches standing on the edge of the nest. We weren’t sure what would happen next – were they just stretching? Were they feeling overcrowded in the nest? Or were they really ready to fly? As we watched, one of them […]
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. […]
I Grow Twins
When I went to the grocery store today, I got in line behind a woman with 2 small children about 4 and 2 1/2 years old. First I noticed the younger boy asking to buy a box of cereal that was nearby. The older girl said they had some at home, which was repeated by […]
Found His Mother
I got together with a friend of mine and he told me a great story. He was adopted at birth and was always an advocate for adoption vs. abortion. He would talk about it especially with his daughter’s friends and they would realize that if he would not have been born, his daughters would not […]
