Birthday
Safe Delivery
Last night I went over to my son’s house. It was the day that my daughter in law’s doctor scheduled to induce labor, 2 weeks early from the due date. They had been doing ultrasounds on the baby for a couple of months and concerned that she was so small. Everything looked ok, but they […]
250 Years
As our country celebrated it’s 250 years of freedom today, my brother and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my son, his wife, and her family. It was sad that our area is in a burn ban and no fireworks were allowed. I did watch some on TV that were pretty amazing, though. I heard […]
John and Jesus
Today the church celebrates the birth of John the Baptist. I listened to a couple reflections, which gave me some interesting points to ponder. John the Baptist was approximately 6 months older than his cousin, Jesus. His mission was to announce the coming of Jesus Christ who would change everything. John was ushering in the […]
Flower Cake
Today was my sister’s birthday. I sent her some flowers that were shaped and decorated like a birthday cake. You never know exactly what those things will look like or how big they will be when you order them. She sent a photo this morning of her holding the delivery. It was the size of […]
Sister’s Weekend
My sister came today for her birthday weekend. We had fun at the antique shop where she found a beautiful handmade purse with lots of pockets. It was just what she was looking for. Then we went out to lunch. After that we watched the football game. It was a nailbiter all the way through, […]
Continued Birthday
Today may be the last day of my week long birthday celebration and I felt like I received so many gifts. This morning I talked to my aunt who turned 90 on our mutual birthday. I thanked her for the card and beautiful blouse she sent me from her favorite QVC. She told me about […]
Blessed Birthday
I woke up this morning thanking my parents and God for bringing me into existence on my birthday. I thought it would be good to begin my next year with a clean slate. So, I left the house early and went to Confession. I felt relieved and peaceful after hearing the prayers of forgiveness. Sometimes […]
Our Oktoberfest
Since I learned that my grandson will be moving soon, it seemed necessary to have my family over before he leaves. Not only that, both my son’s birthdays are coming up, so we had much to celebrate. After talking about what kind of food to have, we decided on German. It was somewhat surprising since […]
Chocolate Pinata
Today a friend and I met for lunch. Unfortunately, the place she chose was not open. We talked about going another time when she told me that her birthday is next week. She said she usually celebrates for a whole week. I told her we should start today then. So she chose a Mexican restaurant […]
Granddaughter’s Birthday
Today was my granddaughter’s 10th birthday. We went to a restaurant where she received a balloon, a happy birthday song from the employees, and an ice cream sundae to go along with dinner. I gave her a necklace that belonged to my mother that I thought would look nice with the dress she is wearing […]
