Fun
The Drones
A couple of weeks ago, my sons asked if I was free last night. I said I was. They said that they would pick me up and planned something for my birthday. I had no idea what it was. My siblings and I tried to guess in our weekly Zoom session before they arrived. I […]
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
A friend of mine knew a family whose child was in an acting troupe, so today we went to their production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. It was fantastic fun. I love the movie and wondered how they were going to fit all of that on a stage, but they did a […]
Playing with Poodle Pups
A friend of mine breeds poodles. The last litter there were only 2 puppies, but I had fun playing with them. She has a new litter now with 9 puppies. They are 7 weeks old. I got to go for a visit today. Raising 9 puppies took up the whole main floor of her house. […]
More Family Connections
Today I met my cousin’s brother and sister for the first time. Their grandfather and my grandfather were brothers. They told me a great story. One time their grandfather was helping at a boy scout camp when their father, who was a child at home with his mother, got very ill with appendicitis. At that […]
Vintage
I spent a lovely afternoon with a friend today. The weather was perfect – not too hot, or too sunny, or too windy, or too cool. We went to an eclectic city not too far from us where there is always interesting things to see. Since it was beautiful, we sat outside and enjoyed a […]
Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]
Gardens
For the past couple of days, I have had conversations with people about their gardens and have seen social media posts from other friends. It seems that most who live in this area have been struggling with their vegetables this year. Perhaps due to the extreme fluctuating weather – very wet, then very hot and […]
Wedding Outfits
I was happy that my sister was here for a couple days. I put on my outfits for the upcoming wedding and showed her. She helped me figure out what jewelry would look nice. She forgot to bring her dress with her, but had a photo. Today we went to the shoe store and she […]
Chocolate Pinata
Today a friend and I met for lunch. Unfortunately, the place she chose was not open. We talked about going another time when she told me that her birthday is next week. She said she usually celebrates for a whole week. I told her we should start today then. So she chose a Mexican restaurant […]
Double Digits
My son and his family hosted the birthday party for my granddaughter today. She will be turning 10 years old in a couple of days. Her mother reminded us that she will be in double digits now for the rest of her life – unless she lives to be 100 years old. I never thought […]
