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 […]
Appreciate the Doctor
My parents had an appointment with their cardiologist today. He’s such an honest, straightforward, and entertaining person. Both my parents got a good checkup. He talked about the difference between treating someone in their 30’s and someone in their 80’s. He said for those who are older, they have already “won” and every new day is […]
Young Entrepreneurs
For the past week, I have been helping my sister get her toffee ready to bring to “Choctoberfest”. She brought her products to a chocolate festival in the spring and decided to participate in this one as well. It was a lot of work getting ready, but the day itself was a lot of fun. […]
Found the Music
My parents used to buy season tickets to the Philharmonic symphony, but the past couple of years they did not due to health issues and missing more than they attended. However, this year, they decided to get them again. In preparation, my mom reviewed the program for this upcoming weekend. She knew that she had […]
Push Past Fear
My son traveled to England for business a couple of weeks ago and was able to visit London while he was there. He came over tonight and told us all about it. He did his best to pack in as many sites as he could. After one particularly busy day, he was resting in his […]
Fall Oasis
We headed home today after spending a few days at the cabin. The fall colors up there were breathtaking. The gold and orange leaves “quaked” in the breeze as the sunlight shone through them. They were stunning against the deep blue sky. Even though it was cool, cloudy, and foggy this morning, it only added […]
Quick Decision, Lifelong Blessing
We spent some time at the cabin today and visited with a friend of my parents who is the closest neighbor. He started building his house a couple of years after my dad started building and they have known for about 40 years. He told the story of how he came to purchase the land. […]
