Blessing of Family
Tonight I went to a Bible class. We just started reading the book of Exodus. One statement that really stood out to me was that God blesses people with family. In Chapter 1 of Exodus, it describes how the Pharaoh wanted to dwindle the numbers of the Israelites. He commanded the midwives to kill all […]
Helping Nana
Today my son, his wife and kids, and his wife’s sisters and families made their way to my daughter in laws’ mothers’ house. They all went to help “Nana”. They shared pictures of everyone raking and cleaning up the yard. I just thought it was so nice how they all pitched in to help her […]
Four Years
Today a picture popped up that I shared 4 years ago. It was of me, my parents, my friend who drove here with me, and my dog. It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since I moved here. I still miss my dog who lived only a few months after we arrived. […]
Piano Cassette
As my mom was resting yesterday, my dad found some small portable cassette players and got them working. He found some tapes to play and one of them was a recording of my mom playing the piano about 30 years ago. That is when she says she was at her best. My dad got the […]

Trusting This Doc
My mom had her appointment with the neurologist today. This is the second time she has seen him after our long struggle trying to find someone we trusted. He was very thorough and followed up with everything we talked about from the first time. He tested her and found that she has even improved some […]
Walk and Talk
Today we had a little birthday party for my son with my parents and my sisters. It is always great to get together with everyone. It was a beautiful day, so after the meal and cheesecake I wanted to take a walk. Everyone was invited, but just my son and I went. That was my […]
Timpani
My brother called tonight and gave us a little video tour of the house he just moved into. He started playing the drums when he was in high school and still has a full drum set as well as an electronic set. When we went to the symphony the other night, I thought of him […]
A Wreck
Yesterday when we left the doctor’s office, we were all feeling quite good and upbeat from the encouraging words. It was late in the afternoon and the traffic was heavy, so I had to be very aware. As we came upon a particularly busy intersection, the light changed from green to yellow. There is always […]
