Girl Time
Thankfully we have had a couple days of beautiful weather. Yesterday we brought a little birthday cake to my mom’s friend who has been sick and not able to come over. We sang Happy Birthday from the front steps. Then we decided we should take a walk somewhere. We remembered that my son and family […]
Getting Out
There was a get together for the residents in the housing complex today and I was pleasantly surprised that my mom wanted to go. It was a good walk to the other end where the party was being held. We had not met the people who were hosting the party and the husband was very […]
Olympic Stories
My mom has been wanting to visit the new US Olympic Paralympic Museum. I had read about it and knew it was outfitted with top of the line interactive technology. We thought it would be great to bring the family. The grandkids were off school and my sons were off work, so we planned the […]
Light Adventure
My mom really enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights the other night and told her friend all about them when she came for a visit. She had never seen the couple special houses that we go to every year. We were surprised at that, so my mom invited her to come out with us and take […]
Tree Trimming
Today my son and grandchildren came over to help us get out the Christmas tree and decorations. Everyone played a part. The guys did the heavy lifting, set up the tree, and got all the lights working. My granddaughter helped my son put the tinsel garland on. My grandson, my mom and I put on […]
Handmade Wreath
Tomorrow is my grandson’s birthday, so the clan came over today for lunch, cake, and party. After that, I had an idea for an art project that everyone was gracious enough to indulge me with. It was a simple wreath that I had made with the kids when I was doing home day care. Everyone […]
Great-grandma sitting
I had two online meetings that I wanted to attend today, but I felt bad leaving my mom to tend to herself for that length of time. So I asked the family if anyone would like to come over and spend some time with her. Both my grandson’s came over for a couple of hours. […]
Holloweeny Day
This morning my mom, brother, and I went to visit my dad. There were several employees wearing costumes for Halloween. The executive director was dressed as the ringmaster. He said, “Someone has to be the leader of this circus!” It was pretty funny. After our visit, we went to one of our favorite scenic parks […]
Close Family
Yesterday my mom wanted to take a walk as the weather was mild. I wanted to get out somewhere other than around the housing complex. Then I remembered my son and his family moved into a house that is directly across the street from a beautiful “Reflection Pond” owned by the neighboring church. We went […]
Grammy Day
My granddaughter’s school had their Fall Carnival today. It was a good opportunity to spend the day with her. I took her over to the school where she played games, won prizes, ate popcorn and saw new friends. She even overcame her fear by going through an obstacle course and sliding down a big slide. […]
