Jenga For All
Since my grandchildren were out of school, we decided to have them over to play some games today. My mom was having a very good morning, so that was a blessing. When the kids arrived, we had Jenga all set up and ready to play. It can be challenging to find a game that an […]
Sister’s Call
I share my birthday with my (favorite) aunt – my mother’s sister. We called her, but she was having trouble with her phone. So we sang “Happy Birthday” to her on a voice mail. We texted over the past couple of days and finally were able to talk on the phone today. She still had […]
Blustery Walk
We always check the weather in the morning at breakfast. When we saw that today would be one of the last warm days before a cool down, we decided to go to the park. We went to one that was close to the house and not too big. It was a place that the city […]
Loved To the Moon and Back
I received a birthday package from my brother today that was so touching it made me cry. There were 3 items with tags that said, “Giving”. There was a soft, cozy wrap around shawl with a tag that said in part,”…always know you are being thought of, cheered on, and loved for exactly who you […]
Sweet Celebration
Last week, our friend who visits on Mondays asked what treat she could bring for my birthday today. I told her I would have to think about it and get back to her. During the week I thought about chocolate eclairs, but I didn’t want our friend to go through that much trouble. Then I […]
Church Adventure
This morning my mom decided she felt good enough to go to church, so off we went. Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late to get a handicapped parking spot. Nevertheless, mom used her walker and walked into the church. She was glad to be there and I was glad to take her. When it […]
Craft Fair
My mom was feeling pretty good this morning, so we went to a craft fair where my daughter in law was selling some tumblers and pens that she makes. The place where it was held was only 5 minutes away. We arrived shortly after it started so there weren’t too many people there yet and […]
Ancestors
I watched the Disney movie Coco last night. It gave an opportunity to think about the importance of family and all those who have gone before. Today a friend shared a graphic called Ancestral Mathematics that I thought was interesting and thoughtful as well. It counted back 12 generations – 4094 ancestors over about 400 […]
Getting Out
We were blessed with an absolute gorgeous day today. It had been way too long since my mom had been out, so my sister and I took her to her one of her favorite parks. It was packed. Seems everyone else wanted to enjoy it as well. Luckily, I knew of a handicapped only parking […]
Calm
After a couple of very hectic days, I was glad, grateful, and relieved to have a much calmer day. Busy, productive, but calm. I Found God today in calm.
