Arrived Safely
My son’s family made the decision to move further South. My son got a job there, they got a house to rent, and they packed up most of their things. I offered to help drive and bring children. They also have 3 dogs. The plan was to pack the rest of their belongings in the […]
Excited and Sad
My older son drove one of the family cars across the country to their new house that they will be moving in to. He will be flying back here tomorrow and we’ll all leave on Tuesday. His wife doesn’t drive his truck, so today I took her and the 2 kids to my other son’s […]
Best Friends
Today was my granddaughter’s 5th grade graduation celebration. I was very happy that I was able to attend. When the family moved here, she was just starting 1st grade. One of my neighbor’s granddaughters was also starting 1st grade and they happened to be in the same class. We got the girls together to meet […]
Safe Photos
I was at my son’s house today as they continue to pack and get ready to move. My grandson came from his room with a stack of pictures that he was looking for a safe place to pack them. A couple of them were photos that my dad took. I didn’t even remember that he […]

I talked to my sister for a while today as she was traveling. She had been visiting her son and a good friend of hers for a week. Even though it was tiring, she sounded so happy and energetic. It seems like it has been a while since I heard her feeling so happy. Talking […]
Talking Stocks
When I help the older couple that I know, we get to chatting about all kinds of things. The husband told me about some of the stocks that he has bought and sold. I told him about my brother who had been able to make a living in his retirement by working the stock market. […]
Pork Chops
My brother has been working hard at the cabin to get it ready to sell. It was finally ready for the photos yesterday. Today he came to the city to pick up his camper that was having some annual maintenance done. After he got the camper to it’s summer storage unit, he came to my […]
Grateful For Family
This morning at Mass before the usual Mother’s Day blessing, the priest announced that a very special woman was about to celebrate her 98th birthday. Her son led her out of the pew by the arm and together they walked up the stairs to the altar. When they reached the priest, the woman gave him […]
