Enjoying Outdoors
The same day I returned from my trip, my brother arrived for a visit. We have been going out and about, enjoying the summer weather and scenery, and having fun. We have gone on a hike, went to the zoo, and went to lunch at our favorite German restaurant. We reminisced about visiting the same […]
Trip Reflection
I have missed my weekly Zoom meetings with my siblings for several weeks now since I was traveling. So, I was happy to connect with them today. I told them a couple of stories about the trip. I also visited a neighbor and told them a couple of stories too. Talking about the road trip […]
Beauty All Around
Today my grandson and I made it to the flatlands. We noticed the difference in environment and scenery. Even though it was still hot, it wasn’t as humid, so the air felt different too. As I drove, I thought about the beautiful world we live in. We only went through part of the country and […]
Blessed Detours
My grandson and I had another beautiful and hot drive today. First we drove around and looked at some places in NC that his family is interested in. In one town, he said a friend of his from NH had moved there. He texted her while we drove randomly. We ended up stopping in a […]
Retreat Day
Today felt like a little retreat. I took a break from visiting and spent much of the day by myself. The weather was beautiful, so I enjoyed a couple walks and took some pictures. I sat outside, took in a beautiful view, and soaked in the sunshine. I was grateful for the peaceful, relaxing day. […]
Strawberry Picking
One of the things I missed most about the east coast was the fresh produce. I used to go to farms and pick strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, and pumpkins. It was always fun and delicious. Today a friend was going strawberry picking and invited me to go. I was thrilled. It has been so rainy, […]
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 […]
Foggy Beauty
Today I was at a friend’s house in the cool, rainy, and foggy weather. They live in a pretty secluded area at the top of a hill, overlooking a pond in the distance. While it is nice to have warm sunny weather, I found a certain kind of beauty in the dampness. The garden in […]
Body and Soul
I was talking with a friend tonight about growing older. My friend said he can’t believe he is only a few years away from turning 70. I remembered my mom saying that, while she felt her body failing, she was still surprised to look in the mirror and see such an old woman. She said […]
Another Beach Day
Yesterday my grandson said he wanted to see the lighthouse at sunrise. So, we set the alarm for 4:30 am and headed out. It was overcast and drizzling, but that didn’t put a damper on our enthusiasm. We stayed in the car for a bit waiting and watching. We took a few photos and then […]
