Chip Off the Old Shutter
I have realized that when I sort through a stack of papers at the house, I need to go through them one at a time, as I never know what kind of treasure I will find. Today I found a letter that my dad wrote to a photography magazine in 2009. He wanted to gift […]
Perfect Love
Early this morning I started receiving Happy Valentine’s texts from a group of friends. There were some funny and some sweet. I was again grateful for their friendship and the way everyone is so supportive and caring of one another. Later I got a reminder of photos I took last year. They were of my […]
Love and Faith
Today a friend shared with me a story about his sister and her husband. It was an article published in the AMAC magazine. Theirs was a a beautiful love story. From the time they met when the woman was 16, they knew they were meant for each other. She waited for him to complete his […]
Sweet Surprise
I made “Loaded Tater Tots” this afternoon and packed them up to bring to my son’s house for his Super Bowl party. Right before I left, I received a box of treats from Swiss Colony. It was an unexpected delivery from my aunt. I was certainly surprised and grateful for her thoughtfulness. I decided to […]
Celebrating Sister
My sister has been house sitting for some friends in the mountains, so I haven’t seen her for a while. Her birthday was several weeks back and we didn’t have a chance to celebrate. She came to town today, so we decided to celebrate her. We went to get Mexican food with my sons and […]
All is Well
My son had a doctor’s appointment today, so I helped drive kids. I picked up my grandson from a rock climbing event that was part of his school’s program. On the way home, he told me all about it and how much he enjoys the sport. He also talked about an opportunity he had making […]
Word and Experience
This morning I read the scriptures for the day which included Mark 6:1-6. In this story, Jesus was trying to reveal God’s words to the people of His home town. However, they were offended by Him. This evening I visited a friend who had surgery a couple weeks ago. She was doing pretty good. Our […]
Track Trade Show
A couple months ago, my grandson bought himself a little sprint car to race at the local dirt track. He has been learning all about it and figuring out how to get it up and running. Yesterday he surprised me by asking if I wanted to go to a trade show with him. It was […]
Sharing Grief
I thought I had scheduled a Mass intention for my dad to be celebrated yesterday. However, when I looked at the church bulletin, it was actually today. That turned out fine, because I definitely would not have wanted to go out in the weather yesterday. When I got to the church today, I saw a […]
Pondering and Healing
I woke up this morning not feeling very good. I have had kind of a cold thing lingering in the background for a while. So I was actually happy that it resembled a blizzard outside. I cancelled the 2 appointments I had, pulled on a couple layers, and got cozy. Today also marks the third […]
