Enjoying the Mountains
Today my family and I headed to the mountains. We spent some time at the cabin, hiking around, and visiting some of the neighbors. Just up the road, we spotted some tracks so we went to identify them. I came to the conclusion that they were cow tracks as the cows are pasturing in the […]
Loving Grandson
Yesterday, my son surprised me with a video chat. It was so wonderful to hear and see him, his wife, and my grandchildren. My almost 1 year old granddaughter caught on after a bit and started waving and saying, “HI!” My parents and I were able to tell my grandson happy birthday as his birthday […]
Constant Family Love
Today I visited a friend who I haven’t seen for about 15 years. We were neighbors a long time ago and had a great little community. When I moved back to the area a year and a half ago, we kept saying, “We need to get together!” Things seemed to get chaotic here and with […]
Live For the Moment
It was a beautiful day today, so I went for a long walk this evening. First of all, I was grateful that I could take a long walk. It has been months since I hurt my hips which set me back. I went by a park where there was a child’s baseball game in progress. […]
Gift For Bravery
A friend’s little boy has had medical issues from the time he was born. At barely 2 years old, the poor little guy has had surgery on both of his club feet and is going through casting and braces on his legs. Most recently, his family discovered that when he was sleeping, there would be […]
Artful Apron
I have started a little apron collection as I spend a lot of my day cooking in the kitchen. I received one for my last birthday and a couple for Christmas. They are each unique and have a story. Today I received a Mother’s Day package in the mail from my son and his family. […]
Motherhood Models
Today is Mother’s Day. It was great to hear from my kids and siblings and be with my mom. Mostly, I thought of all the women in my life who have been like another mother to my boys. When my older son was a kid, we lived in a great neighborhood. We were friends with […]
Inside A Mountain
Today my sister found that it is the 50th anniversary of NORAD – the military station inside of Cheyenne Mountain. Our dad worked there many, many years ago. At one time we were able to go inside and have Thanksgiving dinner there. I was a young child, so I remember only bits and pieces of […]
Blessing Through Suffering
Today out of the blue I received an email that a “Care Page” that I subscribed to had been updated. I recognized the name as that of a family from the church I used to work for. The family had a little girl who was born with a heart defect. She went through multiple open heart […]
Old Legs
This morning I went to a physical therapy session where the therapist pushed on my lower back as we continue trying to resolve my hip issue. It was pretty darn painful at the time. I had some errands to run and shopping to do after I was done. I arrived at one store and got […]
