Virtual Trip
My brother and his dog have been travelling around in his truck and trailer for a few months now. Recently, they headed up into Alaska. He shares some great pictures and videos of wildlife including bald eagles and baby owls. We are lucky to video chat with him several times a week. He will show […]
Unusual Occurrences
We returned home today from a lengthy stay at the cabin. This was the longest time we have visited there since I have been with my parents. They both did great, although it was a very unusual few days. We always put the bird feeders out when we arrive, but this time no birds came. […]
Good Oxygen
As we spent time at the cabin, we brought an oxygen monitor just to check and see how much the altitude affects us. Both my mom and my dad had oxygen levels around 94, which is great. I did pretty good too. We talked about how lucky my parents are to still be able to […]
Found The Job
My sister had been diligently looking for work since she was laid off a few months ago. She was getting very frustrated and anxious due to the lack of response she was receiving. A month ago she did have an interview and they finally got back with her for a second interview the other day. […]
Miraculous Staircase
When my cousins left here, they were headed to Santa Fe and planned on stopping by the Loretto Chapel. The chapel was once a Catholic Church and now is a museum. It holds the “Miraculous Staircase”, named as such due to the amazing circular structure that still baffles experts. The builder is also unknown. It […]
More to Learn
After my mom played the piano today, my dad encouraged her and told her how much he loved to hear her picking up and working through a new piece. My mom took a few minutes and reminisced about her last piano teacher. She started lessons with her after playing for about 40 years. Yet, she […]
Discovering Relatives
Today was the last day of my dad’s cousin’s visit. His wife had made contact with another woman on the ancestry website who was also working on the family genealogy. She gave her a call and introduced her to my dad. The woman started right in talking about her history. It turns out that she […]
Humbled By His Faithfulness
We had another wonderful day visiting with my dad’s cousin and his wife today. It had been over 20 years since I had seen them, so along with talking ancestry, we got caught up on life events. As I shared stories of my past several years, I realized – again – how God has led […]
Day of Ancestry
My dad has a cousin who has visited with his family several times some years back. They have continued to stay in touch and share stories and pictures of the family history. My dad and sister have been working hard on putting together an album that tells the story of their heritage. My dad’s cousin […]
People Helping People
We had a family get together today. As my sister and brother-in-law were on their way over, they came upon a woman who was sitting in her broken down car on a very busy road. They pulled over to lend a hand to the woman who was alone and on her phone trying to figure […]
