The Clock is Back
Almost 2 years ago, I was winding the wall clock that my parents purchased in Germany, and the spring broke. I felt terrible. My parents had taken the clock to the local repair shop in the past, so that is what I planned on doing too. When I called them, I was told there was […]
Christmas Flowers
It was a beautiful day today, so I took advantage of the opportunity and decided to go to the cemetery. I remembered that you could start putting artificial flowers on the sites starting December 1. I went to the craft store and perused the different single stemmed flowers. I don’t feel I have the talent […]
She’s Driving
My daughter in law has been recovering from her ankle surgery 8 weeks ago. It’s hard to believe it has been that long. Over the Thanksgiving school break, my daughter in law was very active and determined to try to get back to normalcy. She practiced driving and felt confident enough to pick up the […]
Ready For Advent
I had such a nice time with my brother when he was here. As always, he helped me out a lot at the house. But we also spent some time doing fun things. Yesterday he helped get a few decorations out. We put the creche and my mom’s caroler collection on the piano as usual. […]
A Different Kind of Thanksgiving
We all knew Thanksgiving would be different this year and honestly I was a little emotional going into it. My son and his wife hosted the meal as it would be easier on them both. I made the pumpkin pie and apple crisp, my sister put together the charcuterie board, and my brother provided the […]
The Pie
It was my task to make the pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving this year. It is not something I have done on a regular basis. Today was the day to prepare it. I looked up recipes in a couple of books and found that my mom had made notes in her old Better Homes and Gardens […]
Teamwork
I took my daughter in law to her physical therapy appointment this morning and when we got back to her house, she was hurting pretty badly. She took some ibuprofen and sat down in the recliner and put her foot up. My son came in from resting in his bed. He is still recovering from […]
Breath and Beauty
My brother arrived last night and will stay all week to celebrate Thanksgiving. Today we decided to take a trip up to the cabin. He has not been up there for several years. It was a beautiful day for a drive. While we were there, we just enjoyed the peace, serenity, and beauty of the […]
Extreme Courage
Yesterday I was blessed to go to my granddaughter’s voice lesson and listen to her sing. She has been taking lessons for about a year now as singing is truly her passion. It became evident when she was a toddler that God had given her this talent. Her perfect pitch and musicality is truly amazing. […]
Family Care
Two years ago, my son had surgery on his back to relieve the pressure from a bulging disc. At that time, the doctor saw that the disc just above was showing the same problem. He figured he would see my son back again in a few months. My son made it as long as he […]
