Regular Time
It was bound to happen. After literally weeks of people visiting, celebrating the Christmas season, enjoying outings to a variety of places, cooking, baking, and eating a lot, things came to a halt and “regular” time started again. I had so much fun with everyone while they were here as did my parents. Like I […]
Priest Friends
I have always had great respect for priests. In the most recent years through working in the church, I have come to know many priests and have learned so much from them. They are all different types of people, each with their own individual gifts, talents, and expertise in different areas. I have learned to […]
Christmas Joy
Merry Christmas! I spent the day as most people – exchanging messages of Christmas cheer on social media, sharing pictures with those far away, opening gifts and surprising people with theirs, and eating too much yummy food. I talked to my travelling brother. I read lots of wonderful Christmas messages and stories of many people helping […]
A Girl’s First Nutcracker
A friend’s daughter had the opportunity to participate in the Boston Ballet school. I remember when the mom talked about it, she wasn’t sure if it would be an overall good thing or not as it would be very hectic for the family, but they decided to go for it. The school soon got ready […]
Perfect Timing
It was a beautiful day today, so we decided to make a trip up to the cabin. As we approached, we passed by the house of a good friend who my parents have not seen in quite some time. He is not in the area right now and my parents were talking about him and […]
A Relic
A friend of mine knows a gentleman who worked on the engine for the Apollo 11 through 17 moon landing missions. He often comes into the shop where she works and she always looks forward to seeing him as they have great conversations. He has interesting stories to tell and he listens as well as […]
Dance Music
When I am driving in the car, I usually have on a sirius radio station that plays Christian music. Today while I was out and about, they played a song that brought back some wonderful memories. When I worked as a youth minister in a church, I would organize a trip to Workcamp every summer. […]
My sister makes an amazing coffee toffee. She came over for the weekend so together we could make large quantities of the candy for friends and family. I had never done it before, so she gave me jobs and taught me along the way. Of course, she has it all down to a science and […]
Laughing the Night Away
Tonight one of my closest friends came over. We had not seen each other for quite some time. We had dinner along with my parents and brother. We caught up on recent events and reminisced on some in the past. I showed off pictures of my kids and their kids. But, as usual, we spent most of the […]
Helpful Neighbors
My brother bought a camping trailer a while ago as he wanted to head south for the winter. Unfortunately, he has been hanging around here longer than expected for various reasons. A few days ago, he towed the camper up to my parent’s cabin in the mountains to try things out and pack it for […]
