Dad’s Craftsmanship
My ongoing project is to sell and donate items from my parents estate. I have had a pair of speakers that my dad made up for sale for several weeks now. Today the right buyer contacted me. My brother loaded up the speakers in my car and we met the man and his girlfriend. The […]
The Motor Home
I was visiting with an elderly couple today and they were reminiscing about when their 4 boys were younger. When they only had 2 boys and 1 on the way, they purchased a motor home. It was, of course, an old style with a small section that went over the cab. The boys would take […]
Living His Dream
My grandson texted me yesterday saying that I would never guess what he would be doing last night. I made a lot of random guesses that were pretty funny and saved the best for last. He moved almost a year ago to chase his dream of working with race cars. He got a job with […]
Getting Bigger
My son and daughter in law have been going to the doctor twice a week to have ultrasound checks on their baby. She has been very tiny for a long time and the doctor doesn’t really know why. She was in the 1 percentile for size, which is why they started monitoring her so often. […]
Days God Gave
I had some weird dreams last night. One of them was about packing books. There were people at the house moving things out and they were waiting for me to get the books packed, which was never ending. I would wake up and remember that I didn’t need to pack anything right now. Then I […]
Afternoon Tea
Today my son and his wife treated me and my daughter in law’s mom to tea at one of the local attractions. They were grateful for all the help we have been giving them and also thankful for all we will be doing in the near future. The summer tea menu was light and refreshing […]
Years of Enjoyment
My brother and I finished emptying and cleaning the cabin today. As we were working, the buyer’s realtor stopped over to walk through. The buyers live in another state, so she was relaying the details to them. She said they are planning on the cabin being a vacation home and eventually their primary residence. She […]
Labor of Love
My family and I have spent the last few days working hard at clearing out the cabin. My brother has been staying at the house and working on it for a couple of months already. This weekend, my sister joined us as we had a big moving sale. Many of the people who came were […]
God’s Moving
I got together with one of my neighbors today who I had not seen for a couple of months. They were away, then I was away, then things got a little hectic. It was good to visit with them. As I told them about my trip and everything that is happening since I returned, I […]
Baby Room
My son’s husky has been acting out recently if they leave her alone. She seems to be particularly attached to his wife, who is expecting soon. If they both leave the house, the dog is getting into things. It wasn’t a problem until recently, and she is well behaved as long as she is not […]
