Gardens and Gratitude
My sister loves plants. At one point she even considered going into horticulture as a career. Not surprisingly, she recently became a member of the Botanical Gardens. They had a special tour set up for new members today and she invited me to go, but I have been hesitant to leave my parents alone for […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
Day With Far Away Friends
Today some very good friends who live far away arrived for a visit. We met when I was working in the church and I haven’t seen them for a year. I was so excited to see them and was teary eyed as we hugged hello. They came early in the morning, so we had breakfast […]
Our Amazing World
My younger sister is between jobs at this time, so we have decided to spend one day a week doing something together and enjoyable. Today was a free day at the museum of nature and science, so that was our destination. It was very thought provoking as we basically made our way through time. We […]
Stunning Sunrise
I haven’t been up to see the sunrise in quite a while, but this morning I woke at just the right time. I wasn’t really sure if the sun was already up as I knew it would be a cloudy morning and it did not seem to be particularly bright. It didn’t really matter – […]
Fall Colors
Today my sister and her husband decided they had enough working on their farm for a while and wanted to head out to enjoy the beautiful Fall season. I was glad that they asked if my other sister and I wanted to come along. The Fall color changing season is so short and the weather […]
A Wolf Story
As part of my mom’s ongoing vocal exercises, she reads out loud at least 5 minutes a day. Most of the time she reads from a very silly – yet oddly relevant – book that my dad has had since the 1950’s. Tonight she read an article from “The Week”, a weekly publication that gives […]
Who Is Greatest
My dad and I went to church this evening as he and my mom have an event tomorrow. Unfortunately, my mom was feeling pretty dizzy today, so she did not come. We are hoping that she feels better tomorrow. One of the scriptures in church was Mark 9:30-37. In this reading, Jesus’ disciples argue about who […]
She’s Here!
We have been anxiously awaiting the delivery of my new grand daughter. My daughter-in-law was overdue by only a couple of days, but it was decided to induce her. Things went fairly slow for quite a few hours as I received updates every now and again. It is hard being so far away. I prayed […]
County Fair
Today my 2 sisters, brother-in-law, nephew, and I went to a local county fair. It had a very small town, family, true farm feel to it. One of my sisters and her husband now own a small mini-ranch themselves and are trying to gain all the knowledge they can before they begin getting animals. They […]
