Songs Scouts Sing
My mom has been wanting to clean out her bookcase. Today my sister helped her go through it. They came across the book, “Songs Scouts Sing” published by the Boy Scouts of America in 1941. It is just what it the title describes – a song book for scouts. Inside the cover is stamped with […]
Sibling Hike
One brother and one sister were here today and our friend was coming to spend a couple hours with my mom. It was a gorgeous day, so my siblings and I went for a hike. My brother brought his dog as usual, but she’s been having problems with her hip, so we weren’t sure how […]
Key Lime Pie
My mom receives recipes in her email on a regular basis. The other day it included a recipe for key lime pie. She mentioned it to me and my sister. She told us that her father loved key lime pie, but even as a baker, he never made one. They did, however, make it to […]
Fun Family Fourth
This afternoon we got together with much of the family for lunch. I don’t have a grill, but my son does, so he cooked up some burgers and hot dogs and brought them over to add to the rest of the food that everyone prepared. My daughter in law made a beautiful and delicious cake. […]
Wonderful Childhood
My sister, my mom and I were talking about our childhood today. My sister and I reminisced about going outside to play all the time. Most of the time we didn’t have a specific time or purpose, we would just go outside and play with whoever was there. And the other kids did the same […]
Impromptu is Best
Yesterday my mom and I hoped to go to a concert, but my mom’s back was hurting so much, we weren’t able to. Today she had an appointment first thing this morning, then the rest of the day was free. Thankfully, she was feeling much better and even had some energy after her appointment. So, […]
That Shoulder
My mom woke up this morning with terrible backache. After a little investigating, I found out it was her upper back in her shoulder blade, not in the usual spot on her lower back. It was so bad that it hurt her to walk. We got after it right away with Tylenol, lidocaine patch, and […]
The Sleepover
We were blessed to have 2 of my grandchildren stay with us for a couple of days. There was one little accident, but we all made it through. We played games, went for walks, watched the hawks, played pretend, and even did yoga. One of my grandson’s favorite games is Monopoly. We have a Star […]
Sleepover 1
Tonight 2 of my grandchildren are spending the night as their parents enjoy some time away. It is a busy blessed day. I’ll elaborate tomorrow. I Found God today in my grandchildren.
Fine Father’s Day
I knew today would be tough without my dad here. So I tried to keep my mind on good things. I thought of many wonderful men that I have been blessed to have in my life and sent them a note. They have inspired me, kept me on the right track, and been someone for […]
