Fun
Art Spirituality
My artistic sister signed up for some online art courses. She put one on tonight as she sat down to unwind after a full day of working on the computer. I listened and watched a bit. Before the instructor started teaching how to watercolor the “Butterfly Queen”, she introduced herself. She explained that her hands […]
Unplanned Enjoyment
The only plan I had for today was to bring some boxes of paperwork to the bank to be shredded. Both my sisters were at the house, so one came with me. We thought maybe we would find something fun to do while we were out and about. I saw a car show advertised that […]
Back To High School
This week, my granddaughter has been doing a cheerleading camp with the local high school. Tonight they were all at the football game showing off their talents. I was so happy that my mom felt well enough and wanted to go. I packed up the wheelchair and off we went! When we entered the gate, […]
Resting Day
The sleepless weekend at the cabin took a little bit of a toll on my mother. She slept long and hard last night, which was great for me because I slept as well. She got up this morning later than usual, took her first set of pills, and went back to bed. A few hours […]
Making an Entrance
When my sister arrived this morning, we all said hello and how are you and such. However, my brother’s dog was super excited and ran to her and wagged her tail and tried her best not to jump up. My sister petted her and told her what a good girl she was. It reminded me […]
Roller Skates
Last night my mom and I sat out on the porch for a while before bed. There was a young boy across in the street wearing rollerblades. He was going around and around and around the block. My mom counted that he went around 8 times. It could have been more. My mom commented that […]
Girl’s Party
Today was my granddaughter’s birthday party. She had a couple of her friends over for the festivities. They ran and screamed like only little girls can. I raised only boys, my sister had a boy, and my son had two boys before his daughter was born. So there have been many years of just boy […]
Uplifting Weekend
About 35 years ago I started working a 5 year stent at Target. During that time, I became good friends with many of my coworkers. We would get together, celebrate milestones, camp, and even travel together. We had a lot of fun, but also had serious life conversations. From early on, we always called one […]
Son’s Strength
My son participated in a weight lifting competition today. He truly has been gifted with physical strength. I was grateful that my brother was here to keep my mother company so I could go watch my son in person. I was amazed at how the competitors were able to lift near 3 times their own […]
Anticipating an Adventure
Today we had a birthday party for my grandson who turned 15 years old. We had his favorite food – taco salad. And his mom made an amazing Oreo cake. For gifts, instead of “stuff”, a couple of us are taking him on adventures. It’s fun for both of us to go out and have […]
