Uneventful Halloween
It was a creepy looking Halloween morning, but the sun came out a few hours later. There aren’t usually any kids who come trick or treating in my parents complex, so we counted on a calm evening. My dad and I finished putting together the exercise bike and we all tried it out. It works […]
Project in the Making
My parents’ exercise bike has been broken for a while and they were debating on what to do with it. Last week we decided to buy a new one. After my mom’s exercise class, we went to the store and she tried them all out until she found the one that would work the best. […]
Enjoying Projects
My sister is very creative and has made several beautiful scrapbooks. She has helped my mom complete her family history book and is now helping my dad put together some of his treasured memories. A couple of weeks ago, they completed a page honoring my grandfather and nephew who trained in the same Navy base […]
Holds Me to Task
Today one of those reminders popped up on my computer that shows what you did so many years ago. It was the blog post I wrote 4 years ago on my son’s birthday. I loved it – it brought back memories and at the same time I realized how some things don’t change. Among other […]
Birthdays
Today was one of my sons’ birthday, so I wished him a Happy Birthday from afar early this morning. My other son’s birthday is in a couple of days and he lives in the same town, so we celebrated his birthday today. His girlfriend was visiting from the east coast, which made it even more […]
Still Walking
Due to her physical ailments, I think my mom has come to the grocery store with me maybe once or twice since I moved here 3 years ago. I had to make a grocery store run today and she decided to come along and help. So off we went. We split up the list and […]
St. Anthony Comes Through Again
A week ago Sunday, we went to church, then out to lunch as usual. Later that day, my mom realized she was missing an earring. We looked all over the house and the car to no avail. We said a prayer to St. Anthony and called the restaurant and the church. Neither had the earring, […]
Family Game Night
My sister and brother were both at the house this evening, so we decided to play a game. I called my son and he came right over and joined us. It was a fun night full of laughter. There is something so joyful about playing games with family. I loved it. I Found God today […]
Beauty in the Rocks
It was a gorgeous Fall day today, so after lunch, my mom and I went to a park that is full of beautiful rock formations. She had not been able to walk through that area in years. I had, however, and knew there was a very nice paved trail that took you through many of […]
A Good Doctor
Today both my mom and dad had an appointment with their cardiologist. He is a pretty great guy, always comforts them, makes us laugh, and helps to put things in perspective. We always learn something from him and he and my dad have interesting intellectual conversations. The good doctor gave them both a clean bill […]
