Earth Day, Birthday
My younger grandson LOVES my dog – so much so that one time he said she was his best friend. A few years ago, my grandsons were spending the night at my house on Earth Day. At one point they asked me when my dog’s birthday was. Since no one knows her true birthday, we decided we would […]
63 Years of Marriage
Today is my parent’s 63rd wedding anniversary. We started the day by going to church. My dad bought my mom a rose corsage that she proudly wore to publicize the special day. I had called the church office a few days ago to see if my parents could get a special blessing. My mom and dad did not […]
Inspirational Music
Tonight my mom, dad, and I played a couple rousing games of UNO. We always laugh a lot when we play games together. Then, I started going through my day to decide what to blog about. My mom sat down at her grand piano and played a piece that she and her friend play together. I […]

Cooking Day
A long time ago, I learned that it is important to do what I can when I can. I have had physical restrictions almost my entire life. There have been several times when I wondered how much I would be capable of doing. For example, a few years ago I had a terrible time with […]
Because He Lives
Easter Sunday – one of my favorite days of the year. I awoke with songs going through my head all about how Jesus Christ died so that each of us may have eternal life. I took my dog out early and saw an amazing sunrise. I was happy that we sang some of the songs […]
Coming Together
My sister’s new home is a small ranch property located in a neighborhood of sorts consisting of 10 small ranches along a dirt road. My sister’s property is at the very end of the private road. The road has been a mess pretty much since they moved in a few months ago and is in […]
Not April Fools
Today – despite it being April Fools Day – I received news of wonderful things that happened. Quite a few years back, I was a Confirmation sponsor for a wonderful young lady. Since then she has graduated from high school and college. She wanted to be a high school teacher, but struggled taking the certification […]
