More Music
My brother is here going through the last few cassette tapes that we found. Years ago, he spent time with my dad digitizing the tapes of my mom playing piano and singing in different venues, and of family recordings. However, as I was sorting out things, I came across a handful of cassettes that my […]
Grandmothers On Her Mind
The other day I realized that my granddaughter only has a few weeks left of school. We chose 1 fun summer thing to do each week before school begins. So today I took my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to the zoo. When I picked them up, my granddaughter grabbed the white embroidered purse that used to […]
T-ball
When I went for a walk this afternoon, I heard a lot of people yelling and cheering. As I went around a corner, I saw the reason for all the excitement. There was a T-ball game happening at the small ball park across the street. I stood and watched for a minute as adults were […]
Playing the Accordion
Both my brothers, one sister and I got all together tonight. It was a mini reunion. We were only missing our younger sister. The 4 of us went to our favorite German restaurant and ordered our favorite German foods and drinks. It was delicious. At the end of our meal, the accordion player came out […]
Fun in the Sun
I was blessed with another beach day today. This one was with a friend and her granddaughter. Since it was a warm sunny day, there were a lot of people who had the same idea. Thankfully, the beach itself didn’t really feel crowded. It was fun to watch the little girl run in and out […]
Generations

Mother’s Day Blessings
First thing this morning I got a couple of texts. Some were from different people wishing me a happy Mother’s Day. One was from my cousin who remembered it is the first Mother’s Day without my mom and she was praying for me. I was so grateful for her thoughtfulness, as my mom was definitely […]
Whatever Happened to the Sun
As I continue to go through things in the house, today I sorted out a box of memorabilia that included school papers and such from me and my siblings. It was fun to see our drawings and thoughts we had as children. I came across a couple stories that I had written. One I remember […]
Laughing With Children
Today I went over to a friend’s house while she was taking care of her 2 grandchildren. They are ages 2 1/2 and 1 years old. I had met them before, but the last time the younger one was crawling. Now he was walking and very proud of it. His face just beamed as he […]
Disney on Ice
The other day my son asked if I wanted to go to Disney on Ice with him, his wife, and my granddaughter. It sounded like a pretty fun time, so I accepted his invitation. We went this afternoon. In the car was playing all Disney music and we sang along. I loved hearing my granddaughter […]
