Grateful
Afternoon Tea
Today my son and his wife treated me and my daughter in law’s mom to tea at one of the local attractions. They were grateful for all the help we have been giving them and also thankful for all we will be doing in the near future. The summer tea menu was light and refreshing […]
Blessed By Community
Today our community hosted a BBQ, so I made a delicious fruit salad to bring, my brother grabbed the chairs, and we headed over. Even though my brother is here sporadically, he knows a lot of the neighbors. Part of that is because he walks his dog around and meets people. Many of the residence […]
Special Rosary
When I was visiting a friend today, she asked if I would pray the rosary with her. I told her I would be happy to and she handed me a fancy rosary. It had blue crystal beads. There was also a bead on each side of the cross – 4 total – that spun. It […]
The Closing
My realtor picked me up this morning and we headed over to the title company to close on the sale of the cabin. The buyer’s realtor came as well, even though the buyers had signed their part of the documents electronically yesterday. It was nice to have her there as we got a better picture […]
Years of Enjoyment
My brother and I finished emptying and cleaning the cabin today. As we were working, the buyer’s realtor stopped over to walk through. The buyers live in another state, so she was relaying the details to them. She said they are planning on the cabin being a vacation home and eventually their primary residence. She […]
God’s Moving
I got together with one of my neighbors today who I had not seen for a couple of months. They were away, then I was away, then things got a little hectic. It was good to visit with them. As I told them about my trip and everything that is happening since I returned, I […]
The Old Cabin Friend
Today my brother and I talked with an old friend from the cabin. He always called my dad his “Little Buddy”. They were good friends for over 40 years, helping one another with construction projects, just hanging out, and even connecting during vacation. Our families got to know each other and had some fun times […]
250 Years
As our country celebrated it’s 250 years of freedom today, my brother and I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my son, his wife, and her family. It was sad that our area is in a burn ban and no fireworks were allowed. I did watch some on TV that were pretty amazing, though. I heard […]
Focus on the Good
My sister shared a quote today that I really loved: “Teach your mind to focus on the good, even during hard times. Life will not always go the way you planned, but there are still blessings all around you. Open your heart, notice them, and choose gratitude every day.” Then a friend posted another quote: […]
Dental Work
Last week I had a crown replaced on one of my back teeth. It is always torture to me to have any dental work done as I can’t open my mouth wide enough. Sometimes I even have bruises on my face. This past time, my jaw hurt, but thankfully there was no bruising. Although, because […]
