Busy Lunch
I went to lunch with a friend today, not really thinking about the fact that it was Veteran’s Day. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a 30 minute wait. We figured it would take us that long to decide where else to go and to get there and such, so we put our […]
Music of the Past
It was pretty quiet today as I was doing things around the house, so I decided to put some music on. First I looked through some records and found one from my brother’s middle school band and choir. I had to listen to that. The songs and arrangements were as I remembered from the 1970’s […]
Give to Caesar
When I woke up this morning, I checked my phone to see the results of the election. As I prayed and decided who to vote for, I felt very comfortable with my decision. That is because I came to the place where I knew God was in charge. God already knew who the winner was […]
Taking the Stairs
I took my daughter in law to her first physical therapy appointment since her ankle surgery 4 weeks ago. The therapist showed her some ways to help the swelling go down in her foot and gave her some exercises to get more strength and mobility. He also recommended that she now use a rolling walker […]
Save The Date
I got together with my son’s fiancée for a little while this afternoon with my daughter in law. She brought the “Save the Date” cards for her and my son’s wedding. It included a sweet photo of the 2 of them looking over the balcony of the cabin. The familiar big hill in the distance […]
Sister’s Company
My sister has been house sitting for a friend of hers. She came back home here last night and worked today on her computer. I was busy getting more photos ready for the upcoming craft fair. I would get one packaged up and go show it to her. She is very discerning and has a […]
Sharing Her Childhood
My daughter in law has been getting very bored as she continues to recover from her ankle surgery. She is still non-weight bearing and has her foot elevated the majority of the day. Yesterday we looked through a list of things to do and one of the suggestions was to make a photo album. My […]
Friend’s Success
A friend of mine has been crocheting super cute hats and things and selling them at craft fairs. Recently, a store was interested in the hats, so she gave them some to sell. Not surprisingly, they have been selling very quickly and the store is ready for more. She texted me today to let me […]
Still Counting My Blessings
Today was my oldest son’s birthday. Per his request I made chicken enchiladas and a fruit pizza which I haven’t made in a very long time. I spent the afternoon at his house helping to make sure my daughter in law was doing ok. She gets a little better every day since the ankle surgery […]
Counting My Blessings
I have had a song going through my head all day today. It was “Counting My Blessings” by Seph Schlueter. As it ran through my head, I did in fact reflect on all the blessings God has given me – family, friends, faith, home, food. Then I started looking closer and being even more grateful. […]
