Down, But Not Out
After taking my dad to the Emergency Room for severe dizziness, the doctor sent us home with some heavy medication. The doctor did warn us of it’s potency, but the hope was to help calm things down. I gave my dad one pill the next morning. He slept for a couple of hours and was […]
Oh No, Vertigo
The other day my dad woke up early in the morning very dizzy. We did what we could to help him get through it and made him an appointment with his doctor. Unfortunately, he got so dizzy and nauseous that he couldn’t even get up from a lying position, much less make it out to […]
Making Candy
A couple of years ago, a friend and I spent an evening making Easter candy out of chocolate melts. She also taught me how to make a homemade version of Cadbury Eggs. They were fun to make and delicious to eat. Last year I missed doing anything like that. This year I decided I wanted to […]
Singing Voice
My mom, dad, and I went to church this evening instead of tomorrow. It will be helpful for us especially with the time change. We sat in the “usual” spot. A woman and her son always sit a few rows back. The young man struggles with some type of mental disability and his mom kept […]
Manning Tribute 2
Yesterday after I wrote my blog, I watched the original video of the song “I Lived” by OneRepublic. This was the song that my grandson used in making his Peyton Manning tribute video. The video is a very powerful story of a teenage boy with Cystic Fibrosis. You can see the video here. Since it […]
Manning Tribute
I chatted with my just barely a teenager grandson this afternoon via text on his own phone. It was great fun talking with him independently from his parents. He is a Broncos fan, even though he lives in the Northeast. Well, he doesn’t really have much choice as his dad is a Broncos fan. I asked […]
Family Reconnected
My travelling brother made his way south to our cousin’s house where he met up with our aunt who is also visiting there. She had some problems with her i-pad and was hoping that my brother would be able to help her with it. Evidently it took him a few taps here and there and […]
Kids Are Kids
I was nervous today going into a new group of people beginning a new ministry at the church. Some teens and young adults who are in foster homes met with a group of adults such as myself to make a big spaghetti supper for their families. This was the first time the organization had planned […]
The Shopping Spree
My mom lost a lot of weight when she started getting very ill a couple of years ago. Since then, she has been wearing clothes that are too big, but she hasn’t had the energy or stamina to go clothes shopping. It is just too much to walk around a store, find a style she […]
The Beginning of Virtues
My parents and I were talking this morning as my dad was struggling with his hearing aids. My mom remembered her grandfather who lived with her family for the last few years of his life. He was mostly deaf and did not understand English. So, when someone wanted to make sure he heard them, they […]
