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 […]

Animals At Dusk

A few weeks ago, I decided to purchase a membership to our zoo. I love going there and the cost of the membership would pay for itself in only a few visits. This evening the zoo was open after hours for members, so I decided to go. It was a very popular event, but even […]

Marching Band

Laat year I learned that a friend’s daughter was attending the same high school that I graduated from and that most of my siblings went to. The teenager was also in the marching band. My friend shared lots of photos and videos on social media. And I saw her at their annual craft fair/fundraiser. My […]

Morning Hike

I have been doing a few things with a singles social group from the church. There is a lot of going out to lunch, which is not really a favorite thing of mine to do. I enjoy chatting with the people who go, but it costs money, and I would rather do something more active. […]

Out of Comfort Zone

Today I went to lunch with some new friends from the church. They remembered that I was going on a road trip last time I saw them and were excited to hear all about it. Once again, as I recounted the experience, I found myself very grateful and somewhat in awe of the whole undertaking. […]

T-ball

When I went for a walk this afternoon, I heard a lot of people yelling and cheering. As I went around a corner, I saw the reason for all the excitement. There was a T-ball game happening at the small ball park across the street. I stood and watched for a minute as adults were […]

Rainy Camping

Tonight my brother and I were invited to our neighbor’s for dinner. She wanted to have an outside picnic. The weather was questionable, but seemed ok when we sat at the outside tables. It did start sprinkling on the guys, so we had to rearrange a bit. We got to talking about camping in the […]
