Celebrating Dad’s Birthday
Today my dad would have been 92 years old. My brother who is here visiting and I wanted to honor my dad today while helping my mom have a good day. We knew it would be difficult especially for my mom. We decided to go to the cemetery in the morning. I took my mom […]
Morning Faith
The other day, one of our neighbors’ thought it would be a great idea to have breakfast together. We thought it was a great idea too, so they came over this morning bearing egg muffins and fruit. During our conversation, the wife told us about her ministry to teach English in other countries. She has […]
Food with Family and Friends
Things were pretty hectic around here at the time of both my sisters’ birthdays. So we decided that we needed to have a sister outing. Today we met up for lunch at a fancy fondue restaurant. We had fun dipping in the cheese and cooking pieces of meat in the broth. It was nice to […]
Better
I have been dragging the last couple of days – physically, mentally, energetically. Perhaps it’s coming off the holidays. Perhaps I’ve been neglecting to do what I need to take care of myself. I suppose that’s why it seems necessary to make a new year’s resolution. In any case, I resolved to get my diet […]
A Different Thanksgiving
I was so grateful that my son and daughter in law offered to host Thanksgiving dinner this year. Yesterday my grandson came over and we made some desserts. All of them were brand new recipes. My grandson made brownies embellished with Andes candy. He had an idea and wanted to try it out. We made […]
It’s a Big One
Yesterday was my birthday. Yes, it was a big one. I started the day by visiting my dad with my mom, brother, and my son. When they told him it was my birthday, he sang the happy birthday song to me. I wish I had my phone ready to record it, but I did not. […]
Close Family
Yesterday my mom wanted to take a walk as the weather was mild. I wanted to get out somewhere other than around the housing complex. Then I remembered my son and his family moved into a house that is directly across the street from a beautiful “Reflection Pond” owned by the neighboring church. We went […]
Cooking Together
My son was told he would be able to move into the rental house today, but the previous tenants have not been cooperating and were still in the house. It’s a very frustrating situation. So my son and his family spent much of the day with us, which I didn’t mind at all. I had […]
BBQ Now and Then
Today for 4th of July, we had a faux BBQ complete with beer bratwurst on toasted buns, corn on the cob, and all the sides. My dad was beyond thrilled that we were able to recreate the meal he would have when he celebrated the 4th of July as a child. That made it all […]
Got Our Ice Cream
As my parents, brother, and I were deciding what to do this morning, we talked about going to the nearby park. We could watch the children play in the water area and walk around a bit. And, the ice cream man is usually there. That made the decision. When we arrived at the park, we […]
