Three For Tea
A few weeks ago, my son’s fiancee invited me to tea with her and her mom. We went today. It was in a “castle” that belonged to one of the city’s founders. The property was 700 acres set back into the foothills with beautiful scenery. It had been acquired some years ago by a Christian […]
Baking With Grammy
My granddaughter didn’t have school today, so we planned a baking day. She has a Harry Potter baking book with recipes for foods that mimic those in the movies. I told her we could make one of them today. She looked through the book and chose one named Honeydukes Haul Cake. The recipe was for […]
Fall Arrived
The weather today was perfect for ringing in the first day of Fall. It was cool, wet, and cloudy with the sun peeking through towards the end of the day. I was happy to get out my olive green wool jacket to wear to church today where I saw my son and his fiancee. She […]
Incredibly Grateful
As I have been sharing my mom’s birthday celebration with others and reflecting on the past few days, I find myself incredibly grateful. First and foremost, I am grateful that my mom was here this year to celebrate. When she entered into Hospice Care several months ago, I honestly didn’t think she would be. I […]
Birthday Celebration 3
Today was the big family birthday party for my mom. Unfortunately, my younger sister has been sick, so she was unable to come. My other sister’s son called from California and chatted with my mom a bit, so that was nice. Mom got a gift from her sister in Wisconsin and loved the handwritten note […]
New Fridge
Our old refrigerator has been slowly getting noisier. It has actually been keeping us awake during the night. One of the shelves broke and the door drops down a bit with a clunk when it is opened. Almost a year ago, my mom and I looked at refrigerators online at their favorite appliance store. She […]

Today’s Gospel reading was about an appearance Jesus made to his disciples after His Resurrection. I read a homily from a friend and listened to the one when I went to church. Both made mention to the fact that in the first few stories of Jesus’ appearance, He was always eating. One jokingly said that […]
Flossing
After dinner this evening, my mom has something stuck in her teeth. We had to stop saying our prayers so that she could get it out. However, she couldn’t do it. My sister got her a piece of dental floss to see if that would help. Unfortunately, my mom couldn’t figure out how to use […]
My Bum
We met a new caregiver today who told us a great story. When her son was in the 6th grade and attending Catholic school, she was called into the principals office. When she arrived, she was told that her son was stealing. Evidently, he was sneaking into the teacher’s lounge and stealing a donut and […]
Sweet Surprise
It was colder than cold today. The temperature was below zero, even colder with the wind whipping and the snow. Our friend decided not to come over today, which was a wise choice. We stayed in and layered up. I was surprised when Mom saw someone coming to the door. Sure enough, it was one […]
