Happiness
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 […]
Little Free Library Plus
I was happy to take a walk tonight in the cool air. I went down a street that I normally avoid because there are barking dogs there. I came to the house with the dogs, which was surprisingly quiet. On the corner of the front yard was a Little Free Library. It was painted red […]
Singing in Church
My mom had a lot of energy this morning, so we both made it to Mass. Early during the service, my mom said that she could hear and understand the words that were being said. That was wonderful, because she really struggles with it. A little later I heard her singing, which she doesn’t do […]
Lavender Festival
I was so happy to spend a few hours this morning with my sister and her husband. We went to the lavender festival at the local botanical garden. We were glad we got there early enough to beat too much of a crowd and too much heat. The first thing we did was visit the […]
Phoning Friend
Today I was looking through my social media comments and saw a friend’s name. At that same time, my phone rang and her name popped up. She was calling me. That was quite a surprise. I told her about the funny coincidence and we laughed. It had been a while since we talked and got […]
Hawk Sighting
Yesterday when my mom and I were driving back from the hospital as we neared the house, we spotted a large bird flying across the street. I stopped to watch and we could see the prominent red tail on the hawk. It flew to the fence that surrounds our complex. I tried to get a […]
Fun Family Time
We had lots of family over today. My sister, her husband, and my brother went to the cemetery and put some flowers on my dad’s grave, then came for a visit. My son and family came over also. My mom played her favorite game Sorry with my daughter in law, grandson, and granddaughter. Then I […]
A Good Day
I was able to do yoga and some cardio exercise before taking a shower and starting my day this morning. I haven’t done that in a very long time. That gave me good energy that permeated throughout the day. When mom got up for the day, she was moving very well. She continued to move […]
Surprise Visit
This afternoon I texted my son’s to see if they were doing anything and perhaps wanted to get together. The older one responded that his wife was getting ready to make lasagna. The younger one said he and his girlfriend were going to run errands. A few minutes later, my younger son and his girlfriend […]
Growing Granddaughter
The other day I made plans to take my daughter in law and granddaughter to the park. I was happy that my mom felt up to coming too. The weather was perfect – not too hot or too cool and the wind was not blowing. We started at the playground. My granddaughter is very cautious. […]
