Birthday
Real Snow Scene
Yesterday, we had a birthday party for my sister. She had been wanting a karaoke machine for quite some time, so we all pitched in and got her one. She was ecstatic as she got it all cued up and started singing, reliving some of her glory days when she was in a band. Her […]
Real Time Joy
Today is my oldest grandson’s birthday and we were able to video chat for a while this evening. We sent him a package and he waited to open it until we were connected. It was fun to watch him open the gift and see his reaction in real time. After a while my younger grandson […]
Electric Eel Party
Today I talked with a young woman whose son celebrated his 5th birthday over the weekend. She said he asked to have an electric eel themed party. She wasn’t quite sure where it came from. I thought that was hilarious. She looked on social media and couldn’t find any ideas for decorations and such. But, […]
Birthday Whirlwind
It has been a whirlwind of a couple of days. It started when my oldest son from the east coast showed up at the house on Saturday completely by surprise – to me. On Sunday, one of my sisters, my sons, and I went to the big football game. We got there early to partake […]
Surprise Gift
I take lots of pictures with my phone, but there are limitations. I also own an old Minolta film camera that is too heavy to lug around places. I have been wanting to get a new digital camera. But I was very surprised when my dad pulled out a new camera this morning as an […]
Birthdays
Today was one of my sons’ birthday, so I wished him a Happy Birthday from afar early this morning. My other son’s birthday is in a couple of days and he lives in the same town, so we celebrated his birthday today. His girlfriend was visiting from the east coast, which made it even more […]
Super Supportive Mom
I brought my dad to a doctor’s appointment this morning and as we sat in the waiting room, we met the woman sitting next to my dad who was having the same dermatological procedure. We started talking about what beverages there were available and noted there was no coffee. She said she always has enough […]
Oktoberfest Birthdays
This year, my older brother turned 60 years old and my younger brother turned 50. We were blessed to get all the siblings together and had an Oktoberfest themed party today. My brothers knew we were having a party, but they didn’t know everything we were preparing. My brother-in-law made wienerschnitzel, my sister made spaetzle, my […]
The Big 60
Today is my older brother’s 60th birthday, so we planned a day of celebration. My son’s girlfriend was here for a visit, and it was great to have her join in the festivities. My brother requested homemade pizza for his birthday meal and a dessert of peach strudel. I had never made strudel before, but […]
More To Celebrate
My sisters and brother came over today for another family party. This time we decided to celebrate both my parent’s birthdays and early Mother’s Day. My mother donned the tiara and was queen for the day. My dad enjoyed playing with his Star Trek Communicator that was sent by my other brother. He paired it […]
