Doing Well So Far
My daughter in law had surgery on her ankle last week. Today I took her to her doctor’s appointment. After carefully getting her out of the house and into the car, we packed up her knee scooter and off we went. She initially had fun on her scooter as it rolled much easier on the […]
A Holy Moment
I was happy to see a friend to sit with at Mass this morning. Afterwards we decided to go downstairs to partake in the Knights of Columbus breakfast. Today they served breakfast burritos, which were pretty tasty. As we ate, a gentleman approached my friend and gave her a big hug. I got to know […]
The Dark Drive
Since my daughter in law is incapacitated from her ankle surgery a few days ago, I have been helping them out. Tonight I picked up one of my grandsons from an event. It was the first time I drove at night with my new glasses. It was wonderful. I don’t usually even drive at night. […]
Safe in the Storm
My sister and her husband live near the eastern coast of Florida. Earlier this week we talked with them about the incoming hurricane. They were going to sit it out in their home. It is a fairly new house and made of concrete blocks. They brought in all the outdoor furniture and plants and anything […]
Surgery Went Well
My daughter in law has been having troubles with one of her ankles for a very long time. Finally she was able to find a doctor who diagnosed the torn ligament properly. Today she had surgery on it. My son took the day off work to be with her. I helped by picking the kids […]
Memories of Mom
This morning I was up early and went to Mass right away. I went to the church that my parents and I belonged to many years ago. At that time, my mom played the organ for the choir and her friend was the director. My dad sang and I did also for a few years. […]
Clear Adventure
My friend and I decided to try to take a drive in the mountains this week. However, she cares for her mother and she wasn’t feeling well the day we planned on going. I completely understand that situation. So, we decided to wait. We had the opportunity to go today and took it. My friend […]
Musical Reminder
Today I was reminded of a video I took 2 years ago. It was my mom and her friend playing a duet on my mom’s piano. They were both wearing their “Plays Well With Others” t-shirts. I loved listening to them again and seeing my mom enjoying her music. It made me happy. It made […]
Piano Music Box
Today I came across 4 piano music boxes upon a shelf behind the pianos. As I thought about the best place for them, I remembered I was going to have dinner with our favorite caregiver tonight. We have been keeping in touch and it was a good time to get together. She was so good […]
Family Fun Time
Last year I planned a getaway for me, my kids and grandkids at a fun family hotel with an indoor water park and other activities. Unfortunately at that time, one son got sick. So I postponed the reservation. I had one year to use it or lose it. Several weeks ago, I made the new […]
