Three Little Boys
My mom and I watched some of “America’s Got Talent” tonight. There was an amazing story that a father of 6 told before he sang to the audience. When his wife gave birth to their daughter, the 2 of them almost died. The man prayed all night and was of course grateful that his family […]
Hummans Collect
My mom and I watched a program tonight about little kids who do amazing things. There was a little boy who read science books and learned all about space. My mom said that was just like my older brother. He also used to read science books at just 6 years old. One day he came […]
Patron Saint Thomas
As I was going through my morning prayers and readings, I found that today the church honors St. Thomas the Apostle. I told my parents about it at breakfast figuring my dad would take special interest as he shares the name. My dad told me that when he was in elementary school, he chose St. […]
Compassionate Grandson
I received a text early this morning from my younger grandson. He said that his little sister was having some kind of a problem with her foot and couldn’t walk. After a bit, I contacted my son and his wife who told me that she had a big blister from her new shoes. I was […]
A Trip Thoroughly Enjoyed
I made it home last night after a long day. I hugged and kissed my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren – several times – before they left for the day. When I headed to the airport, it was pouring rain. I questioned if my first flight would be delayed, but it took off on time. […]
Growing Grandchildren
Today my grandkids and I had a lazy day. We hung out, played games, and cooked. I loved spending this time with them and seeing how much they have grown since I last saw them. My almost 3 Year old granddaughter is so funny, smart, and has a large vocabulary. But sometimes it was difficult […]
Whirlwind Trip
It has been a whirlwind the last couple of days as I continued to travel. The day after the wedding, I had breakfast with the bride’s parents. After a few minutes, the bride and her new husband came in. It was unexpected and joyful. Then, the bride’s dad and some of his friends had the […]
Me Be A Doggie
As my dad goes through his photography from years back, my mom and he talk about their memories. Today my mom told a story told to her by my dad’s aunt. One day she caught her toddler son outside “watering the bushes”. When the mom asked what he was doing, he responded, “Me be a […]
Job Well Done
As my dad was working on his genealogy, he got into boxes and piles of his old photos. Photography has always been a hobby of his, but sometimes it was more. He decided to organize some into binders. He put together all the pictures he took while he was in college that were published in […]
Celebrating Men
Today my sisters, son, nephew, and a friend came over to the house. We celebrated my nephew’s birthday and Father’s Day. We had a great party celebrating the men. My nephew and son told us stories of their night out and we laughed and laughed. They kind of grew up together when they were little […]
