Friends
Family Bonds
My friend who was visiting has done a tremendous amount of research into her and her husband’s family history. She was very passionate about the project and excited to tell me about the different people they have been in touch with. I thought about the genealogy work that my dad did and shared the albums […]
Day Well Spent
Today my friends and I went downtown for lunch. We enjoyed the meal and the colorful waiter who kept telling us that he worked in the kitchen. We weren’t really sure if they just pulled him out to work the floor today, or if it was now his regular job. He seemed a little – […]
My Friends Are Here
A couple months ago, some friends of mine said they would like to visit. I was elated and started thinking about setting up a room for them and what fun things we could do. I enjoyed getting things cleaned up and organized as the time for their visit got closer. Today was the day. When […]
Still Knew Prayers
A few years ago, I met a woman and her mom when I was attending a grief support program at the church after my dad died. The mother had been recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I told them about the support group that my mother had been attending and we went all together a couple of […]
The Moose
The other day my friends told me that there had been a moose in their driveway. Their son who lives next door came out and took some photos. Evidently she had been wandering around the neighborhood there for a couple of weeks. This morning when I arrived at their house, there was a pickup truck […]
Finding Prayers
Today I was at a friend’s house helping her clean out some things. She had a super cute little stand with small drawers and a place to stash books and magazines on the outside. It was located next to her comfy chair, but she was unable to reach the drawers at all. I pulled out […]
People in my Life
I had a busy, but wonderful weekend and I am feeling grateful for the people and relationships in my life. On Saturday I spent some time at a kind of mini retreat day with some ladies I didn’t really know too well. It was nice to get to know one another better. My mom’s best […]
Helping Again
Before I started working my job with the CPA, I was helping an elderly couple that I know. While I was busy with my job, a friend who helped care for my mom was able to step in for me. I was glad that it worked out for everyone. Since I finished my job on […]
Enthusiastic About Outdoors
I went for a hike with a friend today and enjoyed being outdoors in the beauty of nature. At one point we were up pretty high and overlooked a large portion of the foothills. It has been very dry here, but also very warm and many of the trees and bushes have already started to […]
The True Cross
It is tradition to generate a crucifix at the Good Friday celebration. Tonight at church, they had 1 large cross for the congregation to touch, kiss, or respect in some way as we remembered that Jesus Christ died on that cross for us. It took a long time. As I was praying before and after […]
