Fun
Escaped
I had such a fun time today celebrating my birthday. For a couple of days I have been trying to decide what to do. After talking with my son, I was excited that he and his wife and the baby would be able to come and spend some time. My sister joined in and we […]
Time With Sons
My older son will be travelling back home tomorrow morning, so we got together for a family dinner tonight. We went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. My sister, and my younger son and his wife came also with the baby. They have been getting very adventurous taking her out. They even went to […]
Fun to Live
I was talking with all my siblings this evening on our weekly Zoom meeting. I am so grateful that we have kept up with it for so long, starting in 2020 because of COVID. Today my brother was talking about how he’s worried about his old dog again as she has hurt her leg. He’s […]
Hobbit Adult
Yesterday my son who moved further east flew in for a visit. It was a surprise to my other son. Their birthdays are 3 days apart and they enjoy spending it together. My older son took a video of him surprising my younger son who was really completely shocked when he saw his brother in […]
Getting Out
I met a certain friend several years ago at a grief support group and we discovered that we had much in common. She had been caring for both her parents and both of our fathers had recently passed away. Soon after we met, her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. We made it to a […]
Greek Festival
I met some friends this evening at a local Greek Orthodox Church. They were having their annual festival. We got some delicious Greek food including Gyros and baklava, and enjoyed perusing the vendor tents. One of them had icons in various sizes for sale, with different saints and holy events depicted. We also went inside […]
Family Weekend
The past couple of days have been full and fun. My nephew and his wife came for a visit, so they and my sister stayed at my house over the weekend. On Saturday, we all went to dinner along with my brother, my son, and his very pregnant wife. We went to our favorite German […]
Swoop
My neighbor invited us over to play cards tonight and my brother and I were happy to join in. Her brother and his wife were visiting, so with her husband there were 6 of us. We learned a new game called swoop. It wasn’t too difficult, but still required an amount of strategy. I had […]
Afternoon Tea
Today my son and his wife treated me and my daughter in law’s mom to tea at one of the local attractions. They were grateful for all the help we have been giving them and also thankful for all we will be doing in the near future. The summer tea menu was light and refreshing […]
Blessed By Community
Today our community hosted a BBQ, so I made a delicious fruit salad to bring, my brother grabbed the chairs, and we headed over. Even though my brother is here sporadically, he knows a lot of the neighbors. Part of that is because he walks his dog around and meets people. Many of the residence […]
