Mother’s Day Love
Happy Mother’s Day! One of my son’s called me first thing this morning and we talked for a long time. When he is in a chatty mood, we can go on and on! At church, all the women received a special blessing – whether they were mothers or not – and received a carnation. I […]
First Holy Communion
Today my grandson received his first Holy Communion. It was hard for me not to be there, but it was great to see the pictures. He looked so big and handsome, but still has his signature smile. There were serious pictures of him standing straight and tall, and of him with the priest who is […]
Cooked Oven
A few weeks ago, I pushed a button to select a burner on the stove and it made a loud POP. I was terrified. We tested it after it cooled down and it seemed to be OK, so I continued to use it. The other day I turned on one of the other burners and […]
Blessings Among Trials
Yesterday, I turned a burner on the flat stove top and it made a big POP, which terrified me. Then it stopped working. A few minutes later as I was trying to finish dinner, a big bee buzzed by me. My mom is allergic to bees, so I encouraged her to stay in her room […]
Encouragement From a Stranger
Today a friend of my parents came over and we went out to lunch. They told her the story of an experience they had at the store. My dad took my mom and her new walker to the place where he purchased it to make sure he had set it up correctly and if there […]
A Blessed Outing
Today my mom and I had our first outing with her new walker. We went to the local Christian store to pick up a few gifts for upcoming occasions. She wheeled all around the store and when she got tired, she just sat down. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time like […]
Derby Birthday
Last week my mom was looking through a magazine and found a delectable recipe for a chocolate mint julep pie to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. She then realized that the race was on the same day as her birthday. I did not realize that she enjoyed watching it so much. So, we decided to plan a […]
Selfless Gift
It is tough to buy gifts for my parents. They have all they need and don’t really want any more things. Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday and my dad and I were trying to think of gift ideas. Really, the only thing my mom wants is to feel better – like 100%. We talked about […]
Turning 85
Today is my dad’s 85th birthday. He always talks about when he was younger, he never thought he would live to be this age. At that time, not very many people did. At the same time, he says his goal is to live to 100. It was a great day to celebrate him. I made […]
Angel Food
Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. His favorite cake is my mom’s homemade angel food cake. Now, this is a tricky cake to make and I have never even attempted it. It is especially challenging in the climate and altitude here. But – I was up for the challenge and knew my mom could walk me […]
