Family
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 […]
250 Years
As our country celebrated it’s 250 years of freedom today, my brother and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my son, his wife, and her family. It was sad that our area is in a burn ban and no fireworks were allowed. I did watch some on TV that were pretty amazing, though. I heard […]
Family Time
My 2 brothers and 1 sister were all together here today. We were missing our other sister to make up our “Fab Five”. We did go to our favorite German restaurant for lunch and my son and his wife joined us. The food was amazing as always and we enjoyed being all together. While we […]
Passing the Cabin Along
A couple of months ago, my siblings and I agreed to sell the family cabin. It was a difficult decision to make but needed to be done. While I was on my road trip, we had a family come look at the place. Then they looked again. And again. Thankfully, my brother was up there […]
Furry Friend
It’s been a busy couple of days, and I was happy to spend some time at my son’s house today. He and his wife went to the local renaissance festival, and I took care of their dog while they were away. I got there early this morning and took the dog for a hike in […]
Such Generosity
I was telling my brother all about my trip today and updated him on the family members I visited. I thought about how each person lives their lives in an ordinary way, yet are caring, supportive, and making a difference in the lives of those around them. One cousin is a devout Catholic and has […]
Home Safe
This morning I got up early, ate the quick free breakfast at the hotel, and hit the road. I started by driving through a scenic forest and wildlife preserve that I wanted to see. The views were stunning and the windy road included a couple of super narrow 1 car tunnels, which were very fun […]
Surprises Everywhere
As I have been travelling, I have just been picking hotels that seem convenient along the way. Last night I stayed in a place that was a block away from a major river with a metal arched bridge going over it. I walked over at sunset and was blessed with an amazing view. This morning […]
False Alarm
My son and his wife are expecting their first child in a couple of months. The doctors have been concerned as the baby is measuring very small, so they have been doing an ultrasound every week. The other day at the ultrasound, the doctor noticed an irregularity in the cord blood flow. This made my […]
