Up and Out
My daughter in law has been feeling sad about not being as involved in her kids activities since her ankle surgery. Today her daughter had a Halloween costume parade at her school so all the families could come see them. My daughter in law wanted to go. She packed up the pouch on the walker […]
Save The Date
I got together with my son’s fiancée for a little while this afternoon with my daughter in law. She brought the “Save the Date” cards for her and my son’s wedding. It included a sweet photo of the 2 of them looking over the balcony of the cabin. The familiar big hill in the distance […]
Up On Her Feet
My daughter in law had a follow up appointment yesterday with the doctor who did her ankle surgery. He unwrapped the bandages, took the stitches out, wrapped her ankle back up, and put on a removable boot. The doctor told my daughter in law that she could start putting some pressure on the foot and […]
Sister’s Company
My sister has been house sitting for a friend of hers. She came back home here last night and worked today on her computer. I was busy getting more photos ready for the upcoming craft fair. I would get one packaged up and go show it to her. She is very discerning and has a […]
Football Fun
I spent the day with my daughter in law, granddaughter, and younger grandson today. My 2 sons went to the football game with their dad who came from out of town to celebrate their birthdays. The older grandson went too. They shared some pictures of their tailgate setup and food. When they got home, they […]
Working on Photos
We have hundreds of printed photos that my dad took. Some are framed, some are matted, and some are just loose prints. We have given many away and everyone in the family took what they wanted. We have been wondering what to do with the rest of them. A couple of months ago, I learned […]
Ordinary Conversation
When I took my granddaughter to school this morning, we were a little early, so we waited in the car for a few minutes. As we did, we looked around for interesting things. We saw some airplanes in the sky and talked about contrails. Then we saw some birds and talked about the different kinds. […]
Sharing Her Childhood
My daughter in law has been getting very bored as she continues to recover from her ankle surgery. She is still non-weight bearing and has her foot elevated the majority of the day. Yesterday we looked through a list of things to do and one of the suggestions was to make a photo album. My […]
Still Counting My Blessings
Today was my oldest son’s birthday. Per his request I made chicken enchiladas and a fruit pizza which I haven’t made in a very long time. I spent the afternoon at his house helping to make sure my daughter in law was doing ok. She gets a little better every day since the ankle surgery […]
Three For Tea
A few weeks ago, my son’s fiancee invited me to tea with her and her mom. We went today. It was in a “castle” that belonged to one of the city’s founders. The property was 700 acres set back into the foothills with beautiful scenery. It had been acquired some years ago by a Christian […]
