Today my daughter-in-law’s sister shared a picture of my older grandson lying down with his little sister. It was very cute. A while into the day, I realized that I have a picture of my 2 sons that is very similar taken about 23 years ago. At that time they were also very close to […]
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
Today my parents and I watched the adorable viral video of the little 4 year old girl and her dad singing, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. It brought tears to my eyes. According to the news, the video has been seen over 100 million times. Why is this video so widely popular? I think there […]
Remaining Joyful
I used to have the ability to go to Mass just about every day. While admittedly, I sometimes felt it as an obligation, I always felt more at peace if I kept it up. One of my “resolutions” this year in my quest for peace is to try to get to Mass more often than […]
A Recorder Group
Tonight my parents and I watched my grandson performing at his school holiday concert. I saw him and his brother in as many of their concerts as I could when I lived close by.

It’s Mimi
I was so happy to video chat with my son, his wife, and my grandkids today. My 1 1/2 year old granddaughter looked and looked at the screen. I could see she was trying to make sense of it all. She waved at the prompting of her mom and dad as I kept saying hello […]
Festive Feeling
I went to the grocery store this morning to get the last few things I need for Thanksgiving dinner. I actually got there pretty early so the crowd was not too big. There was a festive feeling in the air and people were generally in a good mood. The employees were super friendly as they […]
Pushed by an Angel
Yesterday I saw a video of a little boy who caught his baby brother when he fell off the changing table. The mom had turned away for a moment and the 18 month old baby wiggled to the edge of the table and tumbled over. His 9 year old brother just happened to be walking […]
Seeing Santa
I am always encouraged when I go to the caregivers support group. I learn a lot and am able to look at things in a different way. One of the girls is taking care of her mother who has dementia and recently was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. The mom wanted to visit her grandchildren, […]
