Baby Shopping
Every year, a certain organization holds a gigantic used children’s sale at a local event center. This year, my daughter in law and I decided to go. When I arrived at my son’s house, my daughter in law was feeding the baby. My son said that his new daughter gets very unhappy if she’s not […]
Being Patient
After my brothers and I have been working through all my dad’s old camera equipment, there is still a lot left. I brought much of it into the used camera store today. The old gentleman who owns the store came out in his walker to look at the treasures. I did my best to help […]
Energetic Dog
Today I went over to my son’s house to watch their dog while they took the baby to her doctor’s appointment. The husky was crazy as soon as I got there. She was jumping all around and vocalizing. She knows when I come that we are going out on an adventure, or taking a walk. […]
New Adventures
After being together for a couple of months, my brother started off on his new adventure this morning. His dog was super excited to get on the road again. I had been worried about her as she is getting older and struggling to get around and had some stomach problems. When she has issues now, […]
Better Health
My brother has a great group of friends in the RV place that he stays in the winter. They even have Zoom get togethers when people are scattered for the summer. They are very close and supportive of one another. A couple of days ago, my brother told me about one of the ladies who […]
Knowing How To Help
Today I heard from my cousin who has the same name as my mother. My heart always jumps a little when I see the name, but it also makes me smile. She sent me a photo of her orchid. When I visited a couple of months ago, we talked about them and how my mother […]
The Palm of His Hand
At Mass today, there was a family with a baby a couple pews in front of me. I heard that familiar new baby cry and watched the dad cradle his infant. She was pretty young as she was still trying to gain control over her head. But she looked huge compared to my granddaughter. I […]
Expert Plant Advise
Today as I was watering the plants, I saw a couple of leaves on one of the orchids that were yellowing. I remembered that I noticed them last week and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. They looked even worse now. I have been caring for the orchids just as my mother taught […]
More Granddaughters
I received a text this evening from a cousin who included another cousin as well. He shared a photo of his new granddaughter. It turned out that his daughter was also induced on August 10, but she also delivered on that same day. Then my other cousin said that her daughter in law is expecting […]
One Hectic Week
My new granddaughter was born one week ago, and it has been quite a week. There was planning and expectations that went right out the window. I have said many times that everything changes when you have a baby. My son and his wife have been on a roller coaster of emotions which were all […]
