Family
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 […]
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 […]
