Birthday Celebration 3
Today was the big family birthday party for my mom. Unfortunately, my younger sister has been sick, so she was unable to come. My other sister’s son called from California and chatted with my mom a bit, so that was nice. Mom got a gift from her sister in Wisconsin and loved the handwritten note […]
Best Places to Visit
Today we found a show that highlighted the 50 best places to visit in the United States. We got about half way through as we watched a couple of different times. Out of those that we saw, my mom had been to all but 1 of them. It was a good exercise for her to […]
Easter Crafts
It has been a long time since we had my grandchildren over for a visit. My mom’s anxiety seems to get the best of her when there is a lot of commotion. However, we have changed up some of her medication, which seems to be helping. Since it was school break, my son and his […]
Snow Angel
The impending snow storm arrived last night and we awoke to a winter wonderland. As we ate our breakfast, we saw our “roofmates” outside clearing the wet, heavy snow off the tree branches. They kept us entertained. Later, I received a message from the wife saying that she made a snow angel outside the window […]
Painting Party
We celebrated my sister’s birthday today with a virtual painting party. Some family came over and other friends and family joined via Zoom. Everyone had a canvas, brushes, and a lots of different colored paints. The instructor on Zoom guided us through how to paint the picture, which was an abstract water and mountain scene […]
But the Wind
I wanted to make a trip up to the cabin today to make sure all was well before the winter cold sets in. My grandson volunteered to come with me. He brought his new camera with him and told me all about it. It is quite different from any other camera I have had experience […]
Enjoying the Lights
My neighbor put Christmas lights on our shared pine tree. My mom loves looking at them when she sits at the dinner table. Tonight she decided she wanted to drive around to see the Christmas lights in the neighborhood. Our first stop was Starbucks for hot chocolate. Then we went to our two favorite places. […]
Unexpected Reunion
My daughter in law and I went to a craft fair today at the high school I graduated from. A friend of mine attends it every year and sells her fun crocheted hats and other items. I met her working at a retail store about 30 years ago. We worked with a great group of […]
A Day Out
Today I was treated to an NFL game by my sons and grandson. I knew it was going to be super cold, so I put on all my layers, boots, hats, wool mittens, and borrowed my sister’s long down coat. We arrived at the football field extremely early to tailgate. The guys had packed up […]
Jenga For All
Since my grandchildren were out of school, we decided to have them over to play some games today. My mom was having a very good morning, so that was a blessing. When the kids arrived, we had Jenga all set up and ready to play. It can be challenging to find a game that an […]
