Back From the Eclipse
After their eclipse adventure, my dad and brother made it home safe and sound tonight. They spent a lot of time driving, but the place where they were able to view the eclipse was perfect and clear. They all had a great time, besides the 90 seconds of totality that they experienced. They were able […]
New Aerobic Instructor?
After joining the YMCA, the first thing I wanted to try was a water exercise class. It is very early so I figured could be back in the house probably before my parents awoke. Waking up was a shock to my system, but I was determined, so I made myself move and got myself there. […]
The Big 60
Today is my older brother’s 60th birthday, so we planned a day of celebration. My son’s girlfriend was here for a visit, and it was great to have her join in the festivities. My brother requested homemade pizza for his birthday meal and a dessert of peach strudel. I had never made strudel before, but […]
The New Park
I was out and about today and picked up a smoothie. I thought it would be nice to sit somewhere outside and enjoy my drink, but I didn’t want to go too far away. Then I remembered that a new park was built near the house and I have been wanting to check it out, […]
Playing a Duet
My mom’s friend came over today as usual to visit, play the piano, and have lunch. My mom and I surprised her, my dad, and brother by playing a duet that we had been practicing over the past few days while my dad and brother were out of town. I haven’t actually played a piece […]
LaLa Land
My dad and brother went up to the cabin for a few days, so my mom and I have stuck around home. Today my son came over to just hang out for the day. We all went out for pizza for lunch. Then we played a couple of games of Yahtzee – one of our […]
Day at the Ball Park
My brother is at the house here for a few days and today there was nothing on the calendar – no appointments, no plans. My brother said he would stick around the house if my son and I wanted to do something fun. When I talked to my son about it, he said there was […]
More To Celebrate
My sisters and brother came over today for another family party. This time we decided to celebrate both my parent’s birthdays and early Mother’s Day. My mother donned the tiara and was queen for the day. My dad enjoyed playing with his Star Trek Communicator that was sent by my other brother. He paired it […]
The Big Party
The big day finally arrived. My parents celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary with a party at the house. My sisters and brother came and together we prepared all the food and such. I had asked my younger brother, who lives furthest away, if he was going to come. He gave a vague answer that made […]
Play Day
Today I was looking forward to participating in a Lenten retreat day. My sister came over early to visit with my parents and I headed to the church. When I got there, I saw a sign that said the retreat had been cancelled and to please pray for the priest. There was a group of […]
