Aunt’s Recovery
Today I called my aunt as I haven’t spoken to her for a while. The first thing she said was that she was thinking about me as she was falling asleep last night. She told me that she had a stroke at the end of June. She was in the hospital for about a week, […]
Safety, Trust, and Beauty
Yesterday I took a drive up to the cabin. The weather was just perfect – sunshine, blue skies, and some of the leaves on the Aspen trees were just starting to change. I took my time getting things ready as I planned on staying a couple of days. By the time I left, it was […]
God Spared Me
After my son got married and now has the support of an amazing wife and her wonderful Christian family, I have been telling my siblings that God could take me home with Him any time now. Today, instead of doing that, He spared me. I was out driving this morning and had come to a […]
Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]
Race Team Dream
I printed some photos of the wedding and put them in a little book to show them to people. I figured it was easier than passing my phone around. As I was showing them to some friends today, we talked about my grandchildren and what they were doing. I shared that my older grandson had […]
Generous Neighbors
I snuck outside today to water my plants and flowers. With my black eye and stitches, I didn’t want to scare anyone. But, my neighbor across the sidewalk came out at the same time. She had dropped me off at the doctor’s office on the day of the surgery and had checked in via text, […]
Teamwork
I had to have a basal cell skin cancer spot removed from above my eyebrow yesterday. Actually, while the dermatologist was performing the outpatient surgery, he found that it had grown into my eyebrow as well. I was glad that my son picked me up after the procedure, so I didn’t have to try driving […]
The Wedding
It has been a whirlwind of excitement and joy during the past several days as we celebrated my younger son’s wedding. The day before the wedding, my daughter in law’s mother hosted an intimate shower and tea. I was grateful to meet many of the ladies in the family, including the grandmother who I heard […]
Wedding Outfits
I was happy that my sister was here for a couple days. I put on my outfits for the upcoming wedding and showed her. She helped me figure out what jewelry would look nice. She forgot to bring her dress with her, but had a photo. Today we went to the shoe store and she […]
Beautiful Drive
This morning, I woke up early again at the cabin to an interesting sound. At first, I thought it was a siren. Then I heard yipping dogs. I concluded it was coyotes. I went out on the deck and listened to them. The sound seemed to be coming from the valley just across the road. […]
