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 […]

Throwback

It was another sweltering day, but my sister and I planned on taking a hike this morning. However, it was difficult to find the trailhead in the little town in the foothills. It was even harder to find a place to park. We ended up in the downtown area where we could pick up the […]

Sibling Hike

One brother and one sister were here today and our friend was coming to spend a couple hours with my mom. It was a gorgeous day, so my siblings and I went for a hike. My brother brought his dog as usual, but she’s been having problems with her hip, so we weren’t sure how […]

Fun Family Fourth

This afternoon we got together with much of the family for lunch. I don’t have a grill, but my son does, so he cooked up some burgers and hot dogs and brought them over to add to the rest of the food that everyone prepared. My daughter in law made a beautiful and delicious cake. […]

Wonderful Childhood

My sister, my mom and I were talking about our childhood today. My sister and I reminisced about going outside to play all the time. Most of the time we didn’t have a specific time or purpose, we would just go outside and play with whoever was there. And the other kids did the same […]

Impromptu is Best

Yesterday my mom and I hoped to go to a concert, but my mom’s back was hurting so much, we weren’t able to. Today she had an appointment first thing this morning, then the rest of the day was free. Thankfully, she was feeling much better and even had some energy after her appointment. So, […]

The Sleepover

We were blessed to have 2 of my grandchildren stay with us for a couple of days. There was one little accident, but we all made it through. We played games, went for walks, watched the hawks, played pretend, and even did yoga. One of my grandson’s favorite games is Monopoly. We have a Star […]

Sleepover 1

Tonight 2 of my grandchildren are spending the night as their parents enjoy some time away. It is a busy blessed day. I’ll elaborate tomorrow. I Found God today in my grandchildren.

God’s Care

I had a great time at dinner with friends tonight. I told them the story of lunch with my mom and friends yesterday and wondered how long our group would be able to continue our monthly get togethers. This got us talking about our future and what we were planning on doing. I said I […]
