Missed the Wind
The weather forecast for today was unusually warm with strong winds. I went out and about this morning and when I returned home, the sun was shining warm and the wind was only a breeze. My mom had sat outside for a while, but had not taken a walk. We try to get out every […]
More Artistic Expression
Today my sisters, brother-in-law, and nephew all came over to celebrate my younger sister’s birthday. She is obsessed with her chickens, so it was a chicken themed party. My older sister and I collaborated to make the birthday cake. I baked the cake and put together a chicken coop out of rice crispie treats. My sister molded little […]
Answered the Call
We are always very careful about answering the land line. If you answer and it is a soicitation – or worse a scam – that triples the amount of calls that come in. Luckily we have caller ID to help figure out if the caller is someone we know or not. Tonight when the phone […]
Napping Weather
It was an icy, snowy, foggy, cold, dark day today. I was so glad I got all my errands done yesterday. It was the perfect weather for napping. My mom was not feeling very well today so she napped quite a bit. It just seemed to work out fine. I was glad she was able […]
Finally Some Relief
My brother has been having quite a bit of trouble with some kind of allergic reaction for almost a year now. He has tried different doctors, different remedies, different environmental adjustments, and different foods. He has received relief from time to time, but nothing that lasts. All along he has been doing as much research […]
Being God’s Creation
Tonight my dad told my mom and I that recently he has been dreaming about mistakes he has made in his past. We talked about how different each person is and even though we all make bad decisions, there is a lot of successes. My dad has always been very intelligent and pretty strong headed […]
Cooking Turkeys
Sometimes I think I have heard all the stories my parents have to tell. Then they come up with another one that I know nothing about. As we were playing a game tonight, my mom told one such story. Her father was a baker and the family lived in the upstairs home above the bakery. For […]
Supporting the Military
My dad and I spent some time at the Department of Motor Vehicles today to get some business taken care of. Some of the people there thanked him for his service when they realized he has retired from the military. We talked about that later on with my mom. Not so many years ago, the […]
God’s With Mom
I was glad that my mom felt even better today. Her friend came over as usual, but my mom was only up for playing one piano duet as opposed to several. It sounded pretty good to me. I could see her struggle, but she did what she could. I asked her tonight how she found […]
Pain in the Back
My mom was feeling pretty bad yesterday. She made it to church, but that was about it. She takes a pill once a month that is supposed to help with her bone density, but it always makes her feel bad. This was an extreme case. She was having trouble with a back ache a few […]
