Caring Swimmers
One of the ladies from my aqua aerobics class is having a “big birthday”, so another woman hosted a party for her today. I asked if I could bring anything and the birthday girl requested truffles. I had brought some to a gathering a few months ago. So, I got busy yesterday making them. I […]
De-seeding Cucumbers
My mom is not supposed to eat seeds and nuts as it may encourage the diverticulitis, so if I serve her fresh veggies, I make sure to de-seed them. Today we stopped at Subway. As my mom ordered the toppings for her sandwich, she included cucumbers, which were sliced in beautiful circles. I reminded her […]
Cookie Thief
This afternoon when my mom, her friend, and I went to lunch, we stood in line behind a woman who was ordering. She was holding a baby and her daughter, who was about 3 years old, was to the side and behind holding the stroller. There were packages of giant cookies about eye level to […]
Over the Migraine
The other day, I felt a migraine coming on. I knew I had done it to myself by eating foods that I shouldn’t. I was very careful that day and treated it best I could, expecting to feel better yesterday. However, the headache was still there in the background. I had one more day of […]
The Magic Refrigerator
We have a magic refrigerator. We went up to the cabin a few days ago and pretty much emptied it out, bringing the food with us. When we returned this evening, the refrigerator was completely full of fresh fruits and vegetables. My brother has purchased a subscription for each of my parent’s to receive a […]
Food Provided
This evening as I was cooking dinner, I noticed some leftover sandwiches from the weekend. I didn’t realize they were in there. I figured they would be good for tomorrow’s lunch. However, as I went to take the casserole out of the oven, it slipped out of my hands and landed face down on the […]
Theresa’s Toffee Takes Off
My sister has been struggling trying to find a new job and getting very discouraged. Many people have been encouraging her to start her own business selling her amazing coffee toffee. She finally decided to pursue the idea and has been working day and night for weeks to prepare for her first big event. She, […]
Easter Eggs
I have been making Easter candy the past couple years. I enjoy finding new recipes and new ways to put them together. My son, sister, and I talked about what kind they wanted this year and decided on coconut, peanut butter, and creme filled eggs. I got all the ingredients along with milk chocolate, dark […]
Generous Mom
My mom, her friend, my dad, sister, and I all went to lunch this afternoon. My mom ate half her very large sandwich and boxed the other half to take home. On the way home, we stopped at an intersection and noticed a man standing there. He held a sign that read, “Homeless and hungry, […]
Joyful Celebration
Merry Christmas! It has been a great day with family. We ate and exchanged gifts and played fun games and ate some more. We caught up on life events and laughed a lot. Those who weren’t here physically, we were able to catch on video chat. It was just an all around joyful celebration. I […]
