Always Caring
This morning I brought Communion to the woman I have been visiting on Monday mornings. I learned today that she used to be a nurse. When she talks to me, it’s always about her distant past, when she was young and helping to care for the household and her younger siblings. She told me today […]
All the Weather
My son and his fiancee went to a wedding over the weekend. I told them I would pick them up from the airport tonight. The weather has been unsettled, so I checked the hourly forecast and radar. It showed there would be some rain showers probably on the way back. Still, I knew that may […]
Climbing Rocks
My grandchildren are on school break this week and the weather has been amazing, so I wanted to take them out and about. Today we went to one of the nearby National parks. First we went into the visitor’s center and enjoyed the interactive displays that showed the history of the area and the wildlife […]
Amazing Reconnection
Today I was going through some of my dad’s military paperwork that he kept when my sister came upstairs and looked through some of them as well. She said she used to work with a woman who happened to be the daughter of a man who worked under our father. She asked if I had […]
Disney on Ice
The other day my son asked if I wanted to go to Disney on Ice with him, his wife, and my granddaughter. It sounded like a pretty fun time, so I accepted his invitation. We went this afternoon. In the car was playing all Disney music and we sang along. I loved hearing my granddaughter […]
Middle Children
I am spending this weekend at the cabin with my son and 2 grandsons. Today when we left the house to go into town, the gaggle of turkeys practically met us at the door. They didn’t have much fear and got very close to us. When we arrived in town our first stop was for […]
Dad Interviewed
I continue to sift through files, folders, and boxes of treasures. Today I found some more of my dad’s military information including housing, promotions, and awards. I also came across an airman’s magazine that included an article about him and the Air Weather Service. It highlighted their work watching the sun and doing their part […]
Finally Wellness
I spent some time with my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren today. My daughter in law has finally finished physical therapy since her ankle surgery in October. She is walking all around wonderfully now. After his 2 back surgeries, my son was finally walking upright and moving around without wincing. They struggled so much […]
Answered Prayers
I’m happy to talk with my siblings on Zoom every week. For a long time now, my brother has been telling us about his neighbor who has been in and out of the hospital with C-dif. He was taking care of the dog and trying to keep it from getting too lonely, although it was […]
In Touch
A memory popped up today on social media with my nephew just before he joined the Navy. He used to live close and we saw him pretty often. After he joined the Navy, he got married. He and his wife live in another state and it is “normal” not to see them so much, but […]
