100 and Still Walking
Today our friend came over and played the piano with mom. We read some of a local Catholic publication while we finished off the Thanksgiving pie. I came across an article about a woman who turned 100 years old. She joined her local parish when it started, about 70 years ago. Her son was an […]
Blustery Walk
We always check the weather in the morning at breakfast. When we saw that today would be one of the last warm days before a cool down, we decided to go to the park. We went to one that was close to the house and not too big. It was a place that the city […]
Getting Out
We were blessed with an absolute gorgeous day today. It had been way too long since my mom had been out, so my sister and I took her to her one of her favorite parks. It was packed. Seems everyone else wanted to enjoy it as well. Luckily, I knew of a handicapped only parking […]
Little Energy
After my mom’s big day yesterday, she woke up this morning with very little energy. Our family friend came over and surprised us with a visit from her husband who brought their 1 year old granddaughter. She was just about the most adorable little toddler I have ever seen with her two little pigtails on […]
The Roofers
Several months ago, our neighborhood got hit with large hail which did plenty of damage to the houses. Since then, we have seen and heard roofs being replaced just about every day. Today we had a great view of a house undergoing it’s restoration. My mom loves watching what is going on and we usually […]
Sitting in the Rain
This afternoon my mom and I went out to porch to sit in the sunshine. We weren’t out too long before the clouds came over. Then it started to rain big drops. It wasn’t windy and the temperature was fine, so we sat out for a while as the large drops dotted the sidewalk and […]
Wonderful Weekend
We had a wonderful weekend here. My out of state brother came for a few days. One day, my other brother, sister and her husband came to the house as well. We took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate my brother’s birthday, which is next week. While the siblings were together, we looked through some […]
Surprise Hearts
Today I received some mail from a far away friend. She and her granddaughter made some super cute hearts from fancy paper. They sent one for me, my mom, and my sister. It was so thoughtful and encouraging. We all felt pretty special and loved. I Found God today in thoughtful mail.
Grow Up
I listened to a powerful reflection of today’s Gospel by Bible scholar Jeff Cavins on the Hallow app. In this scripture, the people who worked for a land owner all got paid the same daily wage, regardless of how long they worked. Those who worked all day long were upset about that, even though the […]
Photo Album
My granddaughter’s birthday is coming up next week. The other day my mom found a small photo album she had with pictures of my granddaughter soon after she was born. There were many empty pages left. My mom said she had wanted to fill up the rest of the book and give it to her […]
