Expert Plant Advise
Today as I was watering the plants, I saw a couple of leaves on one of the orchids that were yellowing. I remembered that I noticed them last week and wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. They looked even worse now. I have been caring for the orchids just as my mother taught […]
More Granddaughters
I received a text this evening from a cousin who included another cousin as well. He shared a photo of his new granddaughter. It turned out that his daughter was also induced on August 10, but she also delivered on that same day. Then my other cousin said that her daughter in law is expecting […]
One Hectic Week
My new granddaughter was born one week ago, and it has been quite a week. There was planning and expectations that went right out the window. I have said many times that everything changes when you have a baby. My son and his wife have been on a roller coaster of emotions which were all […]
Improving
I went back to my son’s house this morning so he could go back to the hospital and be with his family. The dog and I went on a hike first thing before it got too hot outside. We are very much enjoying our time together. She is getting more exercise and so am I. […]
Tiny Jesus
My son and his wife were concerned about their new baby as she seemed to be lethargic and not eating well. After talking with their doctor, they took her to the emergency room.

She’s Home
I admit I was a little surprised when I heard from my son today and he told me that his wife and new baby were going to be released from the hospital. Both of them received a clean bill of health. I guess the doctors and nurses were even surprised that the little one was […]
Answered Prayers for Healthy Baby
I started this morning by taking my son’s dog for a little hike in a nearby forested park. It was peaceful, cool, and energizing – a great way to start the day. I talked with son and his wife on and off during the day. They sent a picture of the new baby wearing a […]
Safe Delivery
Last night I went over to my son’s house. It was the day that my daughter in law’s doctor scheduled to induce labor, 2 weeks early from the due date. They had been doing ultrasounds on the baby for a couple of months and concerned that she was so small. Everything looked ok, but they […]
Family Weekend
The past couple of days have been full and fun. My nephew and his wife came for a visit, so they and my sister stayed at my house over the weekend. On Saturday, we all went to dinner along with my brother, my son, and his very pregnant wife. We went to our favorite German […]
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 […]
