More Music
My brother is here going through the last few cassette tapes that we found. Years ago, he spent time with my dad digitizing the tapes of my mom playing piano and singing in different venues, and of family recordings. However, as I was sorting out things, I came across a handful of cassettes that my […]
Back to Massage
In the middle of December last year, I started physical therapy for my back. I finished in May, just before taking the road trip. Before then I had been seeing my soon to be daughter in law for massages. I have been doing my best to keep myself active and stretched for the past month. […]
Out of Comfort Zone
Today I went to lunch with some new friends from the church. They remembered that I was going on a road trip last time I saw them and were excited to hear all about it. Once again, as I recounted the experience, I found myself very grateful and somewhat in awe of the whole undertaking. […]
Grandmothers On Her Mind
The other day I realized that my granddaughter only has a few weeks left of school. We chose 1 fun summer thing to do each week before school begins. So today I took my daughter-in-law and granddaughter to the zoo. When I picked them up, my granddaughter grabbed the white embroidered purse that used to […]
Finally 18

Singing in Heaven
When my dad was alive, he and my brother worked hard to digitize the family cassette tapes and CD’s. They included family updates with us kids talking, as well as my mom playing the piano and singing. We found a box of cassette tapes at the house, so my brother went through them today to […]
God’s Rock Formation
My brother and his dog have been here for several days. His dog was having some stomach problems, which took a couple of days to resolve. She has had more energy and seems to be feeling better now. So, today we decided to enjoy the outdoors. It had been a long time since my brother […]
Pet Detected
A while ago we put some cameras at the cabin to keep an eye on the place. I have always hoped to see some wildlife and get excited when I see a deer or bunny. Today I received the notification “Pet Detected”. Since my brother was there with his dog, I figured it was them, […]
Take a Real Break
My sister has been working very hard for a long time now, typically working around 50 hours a week. She was in desperate need of a break, so she took some time off and went to visit her son. I talked to her last night as she was getting things ready for her flight. She […]
Successful Shopping
My son’s fiancee’s mother and I have been putting off buying a dress for the wedding. She has had surgeries, and my body has been changing for the past year. The wedding is 2 months away now, so we made a date to go shopping today. My son’s soon to be mother in law had […]
