Birthday
Tropical Snowy Celebration
My sisters and brother in law came over this morning and when my parents and I returned from church, the house had been transformed into a tropical paradise. They decorated the entire dining room with palm tree and beach murals, a beautiful tropical bouquet, beach toys, leis, and even real coconuts. They offered me a […]
Uncle Sam Bank
A couple of months ago when I was visiting my son, I spent some time with my grandson who was doing his American history homework. In the book, there was a picture of a bank I used to have when I was a kid. It was in the form of a statue of Uncle Sam. […]
Birthday Wishers
My mom got a sudden sharp pain in her chest this morning, so we ended up in the emergency room for the majority of the day. They ran all kinds of tests, but thankfully didn’t find any blaring problems. The pain ended up going away on its own. It is not exactly how I thought […]
Walk and Talk
Today we had a little birthday party for my son with my parents and my sisters. It is always great to get together with everyone. It was a beautiful day, so after the meal and cheesecake I wanted to take a walk. Everyone was invited, but just my son and I went. That was my […]
Caring Swimmers
One of the ladies from my aqua aerobics class is having a “big birthday”, so another woman hosted a party for her today. I asked if I could bring anything and the birthday girl requested truffles. I had brought some to a gathering a few months ago. So, I got busy yesterday making them. I […]
Growing Granddaughter
Today is my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday. She had a Moana themed party. My parents and I sent her a couple big bags of clothes and Moana bedding to go on the new bed she was getting. I saw some pictures in the morning and when it came time for her to open the gifts, we […]
Homemade Prayer Card
I have a couple of prayer cards that I like to use in the morning, but I haven’t been able to find them recently. Today as I looked all around in my assorted piles, I came across a prayer card that was made by my nephew when he was about 6 years old. I thought […]
Crossing to Adulthood
Today is my nephew’s 21st birthday. I have recently been going through old photos and came across several of him when he was younger. Now he is a young adult and serving in the military. I mean, I know that is what happens, but for some reason it is still hard to believe. I smile […]
Many Well Wishers
Today is my mom’s 86th birthday. I took her to her exercise class this morning, and when she got there, everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to her. I brought a plate of cookies to celebrate. She took it easy the rest of the day and just did what she wanted. Starting at dinner time, she spent […]
Another Year of Life and Love
Today was my dad’s birthday. My sisters, brother in law, and son came over to celebrate. It was an all inclusive party as my parents’ anniversary and birthdays all occur within a couple of weeks. Everyone pitched in to make a delicious German dinner. We had fun cooking together and enjoying the fruits of our […]
