Fun
Playing Police
It has been super windy outside, but it calmed down enough this evening to take a decent walk. As I passed a park, I saw a police car parked in the adjacent empty parking lot. I saw the police officer out of the car and then spotted a dog running towards him. I saw K9 […]
Easter Eggs
I have been making Easter candy the past couple years. I enjoy finding new recipes and new ways to put them together. My son, sister, and I talked about what kind they wanted this year and decided on coconut, peanut butter, and creme filled eggs. I got all the ingredients along with milk chocolate, dark […]
Made Me Happy
Last night, my son and I went to see the movie, “The Greatest Showman” inspired by the life of P.T. Barnum. If you haven’t seen it yet and want to, spoiler alert – – you may not want to keep reading until later. I didn’t know much about the movie before I went, just that […]
Mom Found God
As I was thinking about what to write tonight, I asked my mom where she found God today. We chuckled a little, because she had a really difficult time at Mass this morning. She struggled to find the readings, couldn’t find the songs in the hymnal, and couldn’t hear the priest. There was also a […]
Faith on Display
Today I watched the amazing game that was the Super Bowl. I didn’t have a vested interest in either team, but I do always root for the underdog. Incredibly, they won. I thought they played the game with unity, courage, strength, and fortitude. Characteristics that make up a winning team. At the end, the 3 […]
Super Occurence
Yesterday, my dad and I headed up to the cabin hoping to get a good view of the moon. It was cloudy when we arrived and the forecast called for more high clouds. So, I was praying that the sky would clear for just a little while. When I got up in the morning, the […]
Enjoying Learning
When I heard about the lunar eclipse, I wanted to try to get some pictures with my new camera. I read through more of the instruction manual and tried out some new settings on the sunset. When the moon was in view, my dad and I took some more shots. Being the photographer, my dad […]
Energizing Love
When my mom is at her exercise class, I have an opportunity to visit with the other caregivers who have brought their loved ones to the class. We share stories, concerns, recipes, and ways to take care of ourselves. Today, one of the older ladies had the front of her gray hair dyed purple. She […]
Cheering Up
My sister came to visit for a couple of days. She unexpectedly lost her job two weeks ago and has been really struggling. Naturally, it was a hit to her self-esteem and she is wondering what she could/should do next. When you are in your 50’s, it is a totally different ball game. My parents […]
Movie Night
My mom hasn’t been to a movie in a theater for years. Recently, she heard about the new “Jumanji” movie. She loves the old one with Robin Williams. Some people at her Parkinson’s exercise class and some older ladies I talked to saw it and thought it was pretty cute. We decided to go this […]
