Fun
Crew at the Zoo
My daughter-in-law has a friend visiting this weekend. I told her I would be happy to take them out and about somewhere. They chose to go to the zoo. So, we all went. There were 10 of us total, including my mom, my sister, both my sons, the grandkids, and my daughter-in-law and her friend. […]
Today’s Field Trip
Today we had no one coming over, no appointments, and no plans. At breakfast we talked about what we should do since it was going to be a lovely day. My mom said she wanted to go for a drive and a little walk. I thought it would be nice to travel in a different […]
The Race Around
We decided to go out for a walk after dinner tonight. My sister was here, so the 4 of us headed out. At the end of our sidewalk the familiar question arose – which way should we go? I suggested we start out going different directions and see who makes it around the circle first. […]
Puzzles and More
I’m grateful we had another year of father’s day celebrating with my dad. Yesterday my sister and her husband came over for a bit. While they were here, my dad received a package from my brother. Once we connected on FaceTime, my dad opened his gift. It was a puzzle of the planets and a […]
One on One Time
As I spent my last day with my son and his family before I head back home, I thought about how grateful I am. We had much to celebrate and a lot of fun. And I was able to spend one an one time with each of my grandkids. I read, played Barbies, and put […]
More Energy and Laughter
When I was planning my trip to the east coast, I decided I would have to make time to go to the beach. Today wasn’t warm and sunny, but there was nothing planned for the day so it was a good opportunity. My sons, daughter in law, and two grandchildren donned our sweatshirts and headed […]
The Dainty Warthog
Today my brother, sister, and I took my parents to the zoo. We knew it would be a challenge with two wheelchairs and lots of hills, so we were pretty happy when we saw the tram parked just inside the entrance gate. Our driver, Juan, was very helpful and entertaining. Our first stop was the […]
Uninhibited Play
It was finally a beautiful warm sunny day. So I packed up lunch and we went to the park. This particular park had an area of fountains and water sprays for the kids to splash around and run through. After we ate our lunch, we took a little stroll through the playground and got in […]
Winning
My mom, dad, and I played the game Sorry tonight, even thought my dad was hesitant. After a long game of back and forth, my mom actually won again as usual. My dad was ready to tape up the box so it could never be opened again. That reminded me of another game we got […]
Lemon Bars
The other day my mom went through her old recipe box. I suggested she find one that we could make. She chose lemon bars so I got all the ingredients. We made them this evening. It has been a while since we baked together, and my mom said she doesn’t even know the last time […]
