More Little Saints
All Saints Day today! Unfortunately, mom’s sciatica was acting up today, so she didn’t feel well enough to go to Mass. Fortunately, there is YouTube. We selected a video from the plethora that popped up when we searched, hoping it was a professional recording so my mom could hear and understand the words. It was. […]
Little Saints
I talked with a friend tonight about, well, everything. We used to go camping many years ago with her neice who is now married and has children of her own. That in itself is kind of hard to believe. She told me that her niece’s children celebrated All Saints Day with their religious education classes. […]
Longest Uno
Last night my son’s went out to celebrate their birthdays together. So my grandchildren came over to our house for a game night. We tried to think of a game that we could all play from age 7 to 90. My mom suggested cards. I remembered we had Uno and the boys liked playing that. […]
Look to the Littles
A friend of mine is a teacher. She said she has been having a very difficult year so far and has been very stressed out. However, her day was brightened today with a couple of unexpected interactions with some of the kids. She was reminded to just look to the littles for happiness. I Found […]
Back To High School
This week, my granddaughter has been doing a cheerleading camp with the local high school. Tonight they were all at the football game showing off their talents. I was so happy that my mom felt well enough and wanted to go. I packed up the wheelchair and off we went! When we entered the gate, […]
Grandma’s Day
My mom looks at her calendar every day so she can keep track of what’s going on. A couple days ago she spotted “Grandparents Day” was approaching. She noted it every day and complained that nobody ever says anything about it or advertises for it. Perhaps it has become overshadowed by the terrorist attack on […]
Roller Skates
Last night my mom and I sat out on the porch for a while before bed. There was a young boy across in the street wearing rollerblades. He was going around and around and around the block. My mom counted that he went around 8 times. It could have been more. My mom commented that […]
Girl’s Party
Today was my granddaughter’s birthday party. She had a couple of her friends over for the festivities. They ran and screamed like only little girls can. I raised only boys, my sister had a boy, and my son had two boys before his daughter was born. So there have been many years of just boy […]
Blessing and Protection
Today is my granddaughter’s birthday. I looked back at the photos and blog I wrote when she was born. I talked about what a difference she would make on the lives of those around her. Seven years later, her personality and characteristics are really showing through. She is smart, kind, and empathetic. She has a […]
All The T’s
My mom had an appointment with another new PCP today. Her nurse had the same name as my sister. When I told her my name, she said she had a sister with the same name. She also had a brother with the same name as one of my brothers. Turns out she was one of […]
