Fun
A Party
My sisters came over today and threw me a little birthday party. They brought balloons and decorations and cards and a beautiful large plant. One sister made my favorite cake -homemade chocolate with buttercream frosting. The other made dinner – taco salad, another favorite. I actually sat down and doodled while she was cooking. It […]
Getting Around Craft Fairs
You know it’s November when the craft fairs begin. I saw a sign at one of the local churches the other day and told my mom about it. Last year we went to a fair that was held in the town community center. My mom doesn’t have the stamina to walk through an entire fair, […]
Not So Scary Halloween
When I was living in my old house, Halloween was a pretty busy night. I lived in a good neighborhood that was frequented by many trick-or-treaters. I used to make hot apple cider for the adults as I handed out the candy. Two years ago, a very good friend and I made our trek from […]
An Old Movie
Today my sister came for a visit. I have been wanting to watch a movie with someone, so we sat down after dinner and flipped through the channels to see if there were any options. An old John Wayne movie was on, so we started watching. We got sucked in and watched the whole thing. […]
Got the Message
I was just tired today – perhaps it was the weather. So I sat down in front of the TV tonight and flipped through the channels. There was a new show on that I had seen the previews for. It was a sitcom about a family with a son who has special needs. I hesitated […]
Play Day
My son, his girlfriend, and I had one full day to spend together yesterday. It was a very hot day, so we found a museum to go to. This was a toy museum. Evidently my son had wanted to visit the place sometime and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I wondered how much there […]
Enjoying Big Family Time
Today my son, his wife and kids, my nephew and his girlfriend and I all went to the zoo. We thought we would leave nice and early to avoid the heat of the afternoon and potential thunderstorms. But my sister, my nephew and his girlfriend came in from another city and no one was really […]
Constant Family Love
Today I visited a friend who I haven’t seen for about 15 years. We were neighbors a long time ago and had a great little community. When I moved back to the area a year and a half ago, we kept saying, “We need to get together!” Things seemed to get chaotic here and with […]
Royal Gorge
When my son and I made arrangements for him to visit for a few days, I wanted to do something fun that my parents would also enjoy. They hesitate going out on new adventures and it causes some anxiety. I had always wanted to take the train ride through the Royal Gorge. I thought this would […]
Fun With Chickens
My sister got some baby chicks 6 weeks ago and my mom and dad and I were able to see them the day after they arrived. They were so tiny, fragile, cute, and fuzzy. This is my sister’s first venture with chickens, so it is a whole new experience. She and her husband got the […]
