One Wrong Move
I got up yesterday morning with a mission of accomplishing all the errands that needed to be done. I talked with several doctor offices and postponed appointments, or in 1 case actually got the necessary information from the doctor without having to go to their facility. I dropped off tax information, dropped off hearing aids […]
May the Lord Bless You
My sister came over today. It was good to see her back to her usual energetic self after her spider bite and flu episode. At one point she was whistling a tune. My mom asked her what the melody was. It was “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” She said it just popped into […]
Grandson’s Confirmed
This evening, my grandson received his Confirmation. He chose my son – his uncle – to be his sponsor. I was sad not to be able to attend, but we prayed for him during the Mass. And I was grateful to get some photos of him receiving the Sacrament almost in real time. He looked […]
Hero of the Day
My brother took his dog on a long walk this afternoon as usual. But when he returned he had a story to tell. While they were walking, they were approached by a large black lab who was alone – no person, no leash. At first my brother tried to shoo the dog away as he […]

Back to Things
When my dad had the stroke, everything kind of stopped. We just took one day at a time as it presented itself. But as he has been recovering and doing so well recently, we have been considering returning to classes and such. Today my mom decided to take the leap and attended her exercise class. […]
Finally Painting
For the past couple years, we have been celebrating my sisters’ birthdays by getting a group of friends together and having a painting party. It has been hard to make this happen, but today it finally worked out. Last night, I really enjoyed baking cookies and muffins for the event, even though I was up […]
Welcomed Change of Pace
It has been pretty hectic around here. Therapists and nurses have been coming over 4-5 days a week. My parents have had several extremely restless nights. Yesterday, the last therapist came over to discharge my dad from the program. Last night, my parents slept like they haven’t for years and got up late. It was […]
Spider Bite
My sister has been feeling just terrible for over a week now. It all started when she discovered a spider bite that appeared to be infected. She made a trip to the hospital where they took care of it, took some tests, and gave her antibiotics. Two days later she came down with a high […]
Young Love
My nephew has been dating a young woman for a couple of years now. We have always thought they have been a very good match. They compliment one another. They treat each other with kindness and respect and their love for each other is evident. My nephew called us this evening to let us know […]
