Fun
Lake Powell
This morning at church, the priest started talking about a trip he and his family took to Lake Powell when he was 13 years old. They rented a houseboat to live and travel on during the vacation. I was immediately taken back about 35 or so years ago when me, my husband at the time, […]
Craft Time
For Christmas, my granddaughter received some new craft kits. We decided we should have craft time, so we got together at my house today. My daughter in law brought a crocheted blanket she has been working on. My granddaughter brought a rainbow unicorn latch hook rug. I got out a diamond painting I have been […]
All the Lights
The weather was mild today, so I took advantage of the opportunity and put up some Christmas decorations and lights on the outside of my house. I didn’t do too much, but enough to look festive. Later in the afternoon, my sister and I bundled up and went to the Electric Safari at the Zoo. […]
Missed My Sis
My sister arrived last Saturday and stayed for the week. It had been quite a long time since we have shared the house for any length of time and I have missed her. She had to work a couple days, but I was happy that we spent a lot of time together. We cooked, played […]
Full Of Thanks
I felt so blessed on Thanksgiving this year and had so much to be grateful for. As soon as I awoke, friends and family started sharing messages of gratitude. I decided to go to Mass in the morning. It was such a beautiful way to start the day. There was a bell choir directed and […]
Continued Birthday
Today may be the last day of my week long birthday celebration and I felt like I received so many gifts. This morning I talked to my aunt who turned 90 on our mutual birthday. I thanked her for the card and beautiful blouse she sent me from her favorite QVC. She told me about […]
The Drones
A couple of weeks ago, my sons asked if I was free last night. I said I was. They said that they would pick me up and planned something for my birthday. I had no idea what it was. My siblings and I tried to guess in our weekly Zoom session before they arrived. I […]
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
A friend of mine knew a family whose child was in an acting troupe, so today we went to their production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. It was fantastic fun. I love the movie and wondered how they were going to fit all of that on a stage, but they did a […]
Playing with Poodle Pups
A friend of mine breeds poodles. The last litter there were only 2 puppies, but I had fun playing with them. She has a new litter now with 9 puppies. They are 7 weeks old. I got to go for a visit today. Raising 9 puppies took up the whole main floor of her house. […]
More Family Connections
Today I met my cousin’s brother and sister for the first time. Their grandfather and my grandfather were brothers. They told me a great story. One time their grandfather was helping at a boy scout camp when their father, who was a child at home with his mother, got very ill with appendicitis. At that […]
