Cabin Christmas Party
My sister and I continued celebrating the season tonight by attending the Christmas party for residents of the community where the cabin is. There were some people there that we recognized, but we sat with a couple who had only lived there for a few months. They moved from Chicago and were originally from Poland. […]
Sharing Mom’s Memories
A few days ago I sent out Christmas cards and notes to everyone on my mom’s list. Honestly, I couldn’t remember exactly who I talked to after she died. So, I had to break the news to those who we only heard from once or twice a year now. Today I received a text from […]
Sharing Treats
Today I made some cookies. Tonight I had dinner with some long time friends. I gave them each a box of treats. They were so happy to have them. I realized that for the past couple of days, I have been pretty joyful spending time making goodies and putting them together for my friends. And […]
Great Food Wonderful Friend
Today a friend took me to lunch as a birthday present. We went to a favorite German restaurant. The place was very busy and we were seated in a cozy booth in the lower level. I didn’t even know there was a lower level as I had always been there with my mom who wasn’t […]
Persistence
I read a reflection from the Word Among Us this morning about persistence. It reminded me of my friend so I shared it with her.

Another Year
Today was my birthday. I spent much of the day reading and responding to birthday wishes. I received flowers and a balloon from my sister and a beautiful, delicate necklace from my brother. I was blessed to celebrate in the evening with my sons, daughter in law and grandkids. We got Mexican food and mini […]
Busy Lunch
I went to lunch with a friend today, not really thinking about the fact that it was Veteran’s Day. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a 30 minute wait. We figured it would take us that long to decide where else to go and to get there and such, so we put our […]
Got Some Help
A friend has been on my mind, so I gave her a call this afternoon. She has been struggle with some pain issues, but doesn’t trust traditional doctors. I have been worried about her living alone and trying to function when it is so hard for her to get around. I was so glad to […]
Friend’s Success
A friend of mine has been crocheting super cute hats and things and selling them at craft fairs. Recently, a store was interested in the hats, so she gave them some to sell. Not surprisingly, they have been selling very quickly and the store is ready for more. She texted me today to let me […]
