Finally Home
I was supposed to fly back home last night. However, I got stuck in the airlines big “computer issues” and I didn’t make it. When I talked to the attendant to rebook she said there was one seat left for flights that she could put me on leaving this morning. I took it. Little did […]
One on One Time
As I spent my last day with my son and his family before I head back home, I thought about how grateful I am. We had much to celebrate and a lot of fun. And I was able to spend one an one time with each of my grandkids. I read, played Barbies, and put […]
Meaningful Message
My sisters called this morning asking about watching Mass on TV with my parents. The church we usually watch was difficult to get connected, so they watched the local parish. Later on family Zoom, my sister told me how much she like the priest and his homily. He talked about some of the traditions of […]
Graduated Grandson
I was so excited to attend my grandson’s high school graduation today. The ceremony was held outside and the weather was perfect as the drizzly rain stopped early. It remained overcast but not too cold and the sun came out towards the end. Last year due to COVID, the school came up with a system […]
More Energy and Laughter
When I was planning my trip to the east coast, I decided I would have to make time to go to the beach. Today wasn’t warm and sunny, but there was nothing planned for the day so it was a good opportunity. My sons, daughter in law, and two grandchildren donned our sweatshirts and headed […]
Energy and Laughter
I am so blessed to have siblings who came to stay at the house for a couple of days so I could take a trip to see my grandchildren. Travelling was somewhat different only in the fact that everyone wore masks. Other than that, the airports and flights were jam packed. I was glad my […]
Friendly Teller
Today we made a trip to the credit union. I don’t even know how long it’s been since last time we were there. My dad made his way in while I was getting my mom out of the car. When we got in, my dad was already at a window being helped. I went to […]
Got Our Ice Cream
As my parents, brother, and I were deciding what to do this morning, we talked about going to the nearby park. We could watch the children play in the water area and walk around a bit. And, the ice cream man is usually there. That made the decision. When we arrived at the park, we […]
Finally Getting Better
It was great to see my brother in law today. He and my sister came for a visit. He has not been feeling well for months now. It took way too long for a doctor to diagnose him with diverticulitis. He lost a dramatic amount of weight during the ordeal as he had a hard […]
The Dainty Warthog
Today my brother, sister, and I took my parents to the zoo. We knew it would be a challenge with two wheelchairs and lots of hills, so we were pretty happy when we saw the tram parked just inside the entrance gate. Our driver, Juan, was very helpful and entertaining. Our first stop was the […]
