Music of the Past

It was pretty quiet today as I was doing things around the house, so I decided to put some music on. First I looked through some records and found one from my brother’s middle school band and choir. I had to listen to that. The songs and arrangements were as I remembered from the 1970’s […]

Taking the Stairs

I took my daughter in law to her first physical therapy appointment since her ankle surgery 4 weeks ago. The therapist showed her some ways to help the swelling go down in her foot and gave her some exercises to get more strength and mobility. He also recommended that she now use a rolling walker […]

Happy in the Mountains

My sister and I spent some time this morning doing things that needed to be done at the cabin before we took off. As we reminisced, my sister realized that she hadn’t been up there in about 3 years. It was bittersweet for her. At the same time, we had a fun weekend and resolved […]

The Craft Fair

Today was the big day for the craft fair. My sister and I loaded up the assortment of 48 photos I had prepared for the event. The fair was held at the small community clubhouse where the cabin is located. All the vendors were residents. Most of the customers were too. I really enjoyed talking […]

Cabin Company

This afternoon I packed up some of my dad’s photos that I’ve been working on and headed to the cabin in anticipation of the craft fair tomorrow. My son’s fiancee decided to come up for a while as well. I put her to work helping me take care of some things like changing batteries in […]

Up and Out

My daughter in law has been feeling sad about not being as involved in her kids activities since her ankle surgery. Today her daughter had a Halloween costume parade at her school so all the families could come see them. My daughter in law wanted to go. She packed up the pouch on the walker […]

Save The Date

I got together with my son’s fiancée for a little while this afternoon with my daughter in law. She brought the “Save the Date” cards for her and my son’s wedding. It included a sweet photo of the 2 of them looking over the balcony of the cabin. The familiar big hill in the distance […]

Up On Her Feet

My daughter in law had a follow up appointment yesterday with the doctor who did her ankle surgery. He unwrapped the bandages, took the stitches out, wrapped her ankle back up, and put on a removable boot. The doctor told my daughter in law that she could start putting some pressure on the foot and […]

Sister’s Company

My sister has been house sitting for a friend of hers. She came back home here last night and worked today on her computer. I was busy getting more photos ready for the upcoming craft fair. I would get one packaged up and go show it to her. She is very discerning and has a […]

Football Fun

I spent the day with my daughter in law, granddaughter, and younger grandson today. My 2 sons went to the football game with their dad who came from out of town to celebrate their birthdays. The older grandson went too. They shared some pictures of their tailgate setup and food. When they got home, they […]
