Fantasy Football
My grandson has set up a family Fantasy Football League. While I was visiting, he got me all set up with an account and showed me a little bit about the website. He has been sending messages to the group as he gets everyone rallied and excited for the league to begin. Yesterday was draft […]
Family Fun Day
It was a wonderful family day today. First thing this morning we went to church and my grandson was an altar server. I also got to see a good friend preach who I haven’t seen for about a year. Then we went to breakfast with my daughter-in-law’s family. In the afternoon we went to play […]
Meeting the Granddaughter
I finally made it safe and sound to my son’s house to see my new granddaughter. There was no problem traveling and the weather was good all the way. When I got to their house, there were hugs and tears all around. First my son, then the baby, my daughter-in-law, the baby, the grandsons, the […]
An Old Picture
Today I took my mom to get her haircut. The hairdresser used to cut my hair and my kids’ hair about 20 years ago before I moved away. It is always fun to see her as she always has interesting things to say. She loves my kids, especially the younger one and tells stories about […]
Swim Down
My daughter-in-law is very, very ready to give birth to the little one she has been carrying. I talked to her tonight as she told me how she is doing. It seems like it has been a long waiting process and a lot has happened in a few short months. We are all ready to […]
Love of His Kids
Today, my parents and I went to the lawyer’s office to talk more about estate planning. It has been weighing heavy on my dad’s mind. The lawyer was patient and caring as she listened to the story of the family. My dad wanted her to have a good idea who we are and such to help […]
Caring Dads
It seemed like dad’s day to me today. When I was out running errands, I saw a man carrying a baby in one of those front carrier devices. I thought it was the cutest thing. As I was checking out, a family came by on their way out of the store. Mom was pushing the […]
Grandson’s Birthday
Today is my younger grandson’s birthday. He had his big party yesterday and I was sad not to be there. This was the first time that I have not made his birthday cake as I am so far away now. Also sad. But I saw lots of pictures and we exchanged texts during the day. […]
Difficult Conversations
Tonight there was a family dinner with all my siblings and my parents – along with my brother-in-law and nephew. It has been 3 years since we have all been together. My dad has been thinking a lot about the future and finances – particularly since his recent medical issue. So, he took the opportunity to […]
Heavenly Joy
So I turned on America’s Got Talent last night. At times they interview a certain act before they come onto the stage, but you never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. A piece came on with a 5-year old little girl named Heavenly Joy. I wondered how her parents came up with that name. She […]
