Time With Sons
My older son will be travelling back home tomorrow morning, so we got together for a family dinner tonight. We went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. My sister, and my younger son and his wife came also with the baby. They have been getting very adventurous taking her out. They even went to […]
Hobbit Adult
Yesterday my son who moved further east flew in for a visit. It was a surprise to my other son. Their birthdays are 3 days apart and they enjoy spending it together. My older son took a video of him surprising my younger son who was really completely shocked when he saw his brother in […]
Eating Well
As I have been helping out my friends, I had been doing some cooking for them and putting containers of food in their freezer. I realized that they weren’t really eating very well and tried to find ways to help with that. After the husband’s hospitalization, they have connected to a caregiving company and have […]
Greek Festival
I met some friends this evening at a local Greek Orthodox Church. They were having their annual festival. We got some delicious Greek food including Gyros and baklava, and enjoyed perusing the vendor tents. One of them had icons in various sizes for sale, with different saints and holy events depicted. We also went inside […]
Afternoon Tea
Today my son and his wife treated me and my daughter in law’s mom to tea at one of the local attractions. They were grateful for all the help we have been giving them and also thankful for all we will be doing in the near future. The summer tea menu was light and refreshing […]
Blessed By Community
Today our community hosted a BBQ, so I made a delicious fruit salad to bring, my brother grabbed the chairs, and we headed over. Even though my brother is here sporadically, he knows a lot of the neighbors. Part of that is because he walks his dog around and meets people. Many of the residence […]
Dental Work
Last week I had a crown replaced on one of my back teeth. It is always torture to me to have any dental work done as I can’t open my mouth wide enough. Sometimes I even have bruises on my face. This past time, my jaw hurt, but thankfully there was no bruising. Although, because […]
Family Time
My 2 brothers and 1 sister were all together here today. We were missing our other sister to make up our “Fab Five”. We did go to our favorite German restaurant for lunch and my son and his wife joined us. The food was amazing as always and we enjoyed being all together. While we […]
Family Meal
Today my son had his moving POD delivered. He, his sons, and a friend got it all unpacked. I decided that it would be most helpful to provide food. I rented a cute little VRBO house for a couple of days, knowing the chaos and stress of moving. I found my way to the grocery […]
Pork Chops
My brother has been working hard at the cabin to get it ready to sell. It was finally ready for the photos yesterday. Today he came to the city to pick up his camper that was having some annual maintenance done. After he got the camper to it’s summer storage unit, he came to my […]
