Grocery Store Accomplishment
I needed to go to the grocery store today. I typically do the shopping by myself – especially in the large grocery store – but I had a bit of a headache, so my mom offered to come with me. I accepted. She had made up a menu and we gave her the list of […]
Celebrating Mom
Today is my mom’s birthday. We seem to celebrate for a few weeks during this time of year as my parents anniversary and birthdays are so close together. My mom jokingly said she had been waiting for this day to finally arrive. I somewhat jokingly but truthfully told her I was glad she made it […]
Easter Weekend
Happy Easter! Yesterday was Holy Saturday. I read a few things and listened to a few things and watched a few things. All of them spoke of how Holy Saturday on a Christian level is a day of silence. We remember that Jesus is in the tomb between death and Resurrection. I thought of this […]
Making Candy
A couple of years ago, a friend and I spent an evening making Easter candy out of chocolate melts. She also taught me how to make a homemade version of Cadbury Eggs. They were fun to make and delicious to eat. Last year I missed doing anything like that. This year I decided I wanted to […]
Power of Prayer
Tonight I talked with a friend who told me a story of how a group of kids learned about the power of prayer. Every year the youth group participates in a 30-hour Fast during Lent. They have nothing but bread and water for 30 hours and at the same time raise money for the local food […]
Kids Are Kids
I was nervous today going into a new group of people beginning a new ministry at the church. Some teens and young adults who are in foster homes met with a group of adults such as myself to make a big spaghetti supper for their families. This was the first time the organization had planned […]
Blessings in the Day
I was feeling so blessed today. Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Of course, I feel blessed because of my encounter at Lourdes when I was a child. I wrote about the specifics of that experience last year. So, her feast day is always on my calendar. There was a special Mass […]
Goodies and Companionship
Yesterday I plugged my dad’s printer into my computer for the first time and was excited that the computer just figured out how to connect them. I printed a couple of things and it worked great. Unfortunately, when it came time to blog, it wouldn’t recognize the keyboard or mouse. Then I couldn’t get it […]
Celebrating Thanksgiving
It was a frigid, icy, snowy morning. We knew it would be like this, so my sisters and I got up early to check the weather and decide if they wanted to attempt to make the hour and some drive to celebrate Thanksgiving today, or postpone. They decided to go for it. For the past […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
