Celebrating Birthdays
Today my sisters and nephew came to celebrate my parent’s birthdays. There seemed to be a theme for each parent. My dad received a box of Star Wars cereal complete with droid marshmallows to go along with the movie and BB8 droid he got the other day. He also received a Star Trek puzzle. A […]
Adorable Compliment
My parents and I decided to go to church this afternoon. We sat in the same place as usual. We saw the same people around us as we usually do when we go at that time. At the beginning of Mass, everyone is invited to introduce themselves and say hello to those around them. I […]
Offering Comfort
This morning my mom remembered a dream that she had last night. She dreamed that there were other people sharing her and my dad’s bed. It reminded us of when my siblings and I were children and would climb into their bed in the middle of the night when we didn’t feel good or were […]
New Birthday Friend
Today is my dad’s 86th birthday. For a gift, my mom wanted to get him some kind of new electronic device. I remembered that at Christmas time, he saw the Star Wars BB8 droid in a catalog and said how fun that would be to have. My siblings and I did a little research and […]
Prison Ministry
Today at church a deacon who worked in prison ministry spoke to the congregation. He started by pointing out the stained glass windows around the church. They each had the name of someone or a group of people who donated monetarily to have the window installed. That happened over 100 years ago. The deacon reminded […]
Continued Progress
My mom and I went out shopping today. This does not happen very often and I was glad she was able to go. We got one of those motorized carts for her to drive around. It has been a few months since last time she used one, but she remembered how to work it. As […]
Faith Filled Gift
Today in the mail my mom received a rosary that has some holy water from Lourdes in it. She ordered it from a religious organization with the intent of sending it to her brother and his wife who seem to have an unending amount of medical issues. My mom wants them to know she is praying […]
Another Anniversary
Today my parents celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary. I started the day hearing my mom making a phone call to her doctor, so I went upstairs to see what was happening. My mother has a history of diverticulitis – an infection in the lower intestine. Evidently she woke up early this morning with sever pains […]
Jesus Christ Superstar
Today was a good day to stay indoors as we are having another spring snowstorm. Since Easter my mom has had the music from Jesus Christ Superstar going through her head. My sister had brought the movie over, but we didn’t get a chance to watch it. Today we took the time and popped in the […]
Inside A Mountain
Today my sister found that it is the 50th anniversary of NORAD – the military station inside of Cheyenne Mountain. Our dad worked there many, many years ago. At one time we were able to go inside and have Thanksgiving dinner there. I was a young child, so I remember only bits and pieces of […]
