Beach Time
It was a hot day on the east coast. Seemed like a good day to head to the beach. Most of my grandson’s friends are finishing their last week of school, so I picked him up and we headed to Maine. My daughter in law’s family made an annual trip there for many years. My […]
Toes in Lake Eerie
Last night we stayed in a place near Lake Eerie. I don’t remember ever putting my feet in that lake, so I figured it must be done. My grandson and I drove out to a peninsula recommended by the hotel attendant. It was quite an ordeal as you had to pay for parking at the […]
Starting the Road Trip
My grandson and I started on our road trip today. Our first stop was Mount Rushmore. I had seen photos of the faces lit at night and did a little research. We arrived at dusk and walked around a bit. Once it was darker, there was a presentation by a park ranger at the amphitheater. […]
Walking Tess
My brother is here visiting for the long weekend. Usually he gets up before me and takes his dog Tess out for a walk. When I woke up this morning I thought it would be nice to go for a long walk first thing. I was surprised, however, when I was all ready to go […]
Pruned Tomato Plant
Several days ago, I bought a tomato plant and planted it in a pot outside. As the day went on, some of the branches were wilted. My sister realized that it had broken. She cut it off at the broken part and put the cutting in some water. It did start growing some roots, which […]
The Finches
I have been bringing Holy Communion to an elderly woman with dementia and went over this morning. Her caregiver was just getting her ready to go sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. I went out too where we had our little Communion service. She is always so grateful. When we were finished, we looked around […]
Plant Day
This morning my son’s fiancee came over and I gave her a little lesson on how to care for the orchids. She has lots of plants – including a new orchid – and is learning how to take care of them. I showed her how I water all the different plants in the house here […]
Conclave Art
Today I watched some of the proceedings of the cardinals entering into the conclave. I was amazed at the incredible artwork that the cardinals would be viewing during their time in the Sistine Chapel. As they pray and contemplate who the next man will be to head the Catholic Church, they will be reminded of […]
The Planets Live
I was super excited that today was the symphony. My sister got tickets for The Planets by Gustav Holst. Unfortunately, my sister wasn’t feeling well and wasn’t able to come. We were quite sad about that. My son’s fiancee, her mom and I went. The seats were great, the sound was wonderful, and the concert […]
Hiking
Our Spring weather has been very erratic. Warm, windy, rainy, and even a little snowy. But today was absolutely beautiful. The temperature was mild, the sun was shining, the wind was calm, and the sky was a gorgeous deep blue. When I woke up this morning, I thought it would be a good day for […]
