Difficult Travel
My son and his family took a trip last week to visit friends and family that they left last summer when they moved here. It’s always a challenge to travel almost coast to coast, even more so with three children. Their return trip proved to be as difficult. The first flight of two was delayed. […]
Throwback
It was another sweltering day, but my sister and I planned on taking a hike this morning. However, it was difficult to find the trailhead in the little town in the foothills. It was even harder to find a place to park. We ended up in the downtown area where we could pick up the […]
Community Picnic
This evening was the annual community picnic. I was happy that my mom wanted to go and had the energy to do so. She talked with a couple friends who she hadn’t visited with in a very long time. And we met some new people as well. We were afraid that it would rain on […]
The Good Book
Since we are in a cleaning out mood, my mom has been going through her bookcase. Today she pulled out a funny illustrated paperback named, *The Good Book, by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as told to David Evans.” It’s just a short book with humorous captioned cartoon type drawings. The one she called me […]
Morning Walk
Last night 3 of my siblings spent the night. I woke up fairly early and decided to go out for a walk. One of my sister’s was awake too, so we both went. I used to walk my dog every morning. She died many years ago, and I can’t even remember the last time I […]
Honing Out
All my siblings, my mom, and I got together today and started going through my dad’s library. People chose books that they wanted to keep and we talked about what to do with the rest. There were several collections that entertained my dad including Star Trek, old science fiction from when he was in high […]
Blessed Memories
Today is the memorial of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha. She was from the Mohawk tribe. When Jesuit missionaries came to the area, she asked to be baptized, even though it caused her to be an outcast. Various miracles and supernatural events are attributed to her intercession. She is the patron saint of a good friend who […]
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 […]
