Escaped
I had such a fun time today celebrating my birthday. For a couple of days I have been trying to decide what to do. After talking with my son, I was excited that he and his wife and the baby would be able to come and spend some time. My sister joined in and we […]
Opposite Ends
I felt like today was in stark contrast from yesterday. I was happy to spend a little time with my new granddaughter. She was so much heavier than last time I held her and seemed to be more sturdy. I held her for quite some time while my daughter in law took advantage of the […]
A Little Hike
My sister and I enjoyed a beautiful day taking a short hike in the mountains. The sky was clear and blue, the air was crisp and smelled like forest. There were actually quite a few people and dogs and bikes, also getting the most out of a warm, Fall day. Neither my sister nor I […]
Retirement Day
Today was my sister’s last official day of work. She has been wrapping things up and passing along all her tasks and information to her co-workers. Today she gathered up all the equipment she had from the law firm and delivered it all to the CEO. She said they chatted over a cup of coffee […]
Día de Muertos
Today my sister and I went to a Día de Muertos celebration at the local Fine Arts Center. It was a free event with family activities, food, vendors, music, and a traditional Hispanic altar. The event was very well attended with lost of kids and families. You could make a sugar skull mask, tissue paper […]
Working With Baby
My son’s company was very generous with the paternity leave that he was able to use. He took several weeks off and went back to work a couple weeks ago, continuing to work from home. He sent me a picture today of him working at his desk with the baby strapped on. She was sleeping […]

My sister, and my younger son and his wife came also with the baby. They have been getting very adventurous taking her out. They even went to […]
Hobbit Adult
Yesterday my son who moved further east flew in for a visit. It was a surprise to my other son. Their birthdays are 3 days apart and they enjoy spending it together. My older son took a video of him surprising my younger son who was really completely shocked when he saw his brother in […]
Move In Day
My sister and I have been working hard at getting the house ready for her to move in. We were able to sell many of the estate items and donate others. An estate dealer sold some things and took everything else out of the house that was not needed. Once the house was pretty empty, […]
