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 […]
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 […]
