Happiness
Sweetest Surprise
My mom was having a pretty difficult morning today. She didn’t sleep well and got her medication in later than usual, so she was dragging and feeling bad. Our friend came over early as normal and brought a surprise. Her daughter had a baby 3 1/2 months ago. She met her here and they came […]
Soothing Weekend
My mom, sister, and I were happy that we were able to spend the 3-day weekend at the cabin. It had been almost 2 years since we had spent an overnight there. When we used to go on a regular basis, typically the first night was difficult perhaps due to the travel, the higher altitude, […]
A Little R&R
I have been a little overwhelmed the past couple days, just being particularly busy and trying to keep my priorities in check. I was very happy that our friend came to be with mom today so I could have some time to myself. And I made sure I did just that. I have learned that […]
Peanut Butter Pie
My son was out and about today and asked if he could stop by. So, he and his girlfriend came over when we got back from church. He returned a container of mine. And like any good friend, he didn’t return it empty. They had made peanut butter cup pie and shared some with us. […]
Computer Fixer
My mom’s friend got a new computer a while ago and had not been able to figure out where all her files were, or how to get them transferred from the old computer. Today my brother went to her house and got it all fixed up for her. She found some files that she thought […]
Returning To Support
I talked with a friend today. We both moved away within about a year of each other. She moved to a place with family and long time friends. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as well as she had hoped. She told me that she recently moved back. She explained about the area she was living […]
Difficult Travel
My son and his family took a trip last week to visit friends and family that they left last summer when they moved here. It’s always a challenge to travel almost coast to coast, even more so with three children. Their return trip proved to be as difficult. The first flight of two was delayed. […]
Community Picnic
This evening was the annual community picnic. I was happy that my mom wanted to go and had the energy to do so. She talked with a couple friends who she hadn’t visited with in a very long time. And we met some new people as well. We were afraid that it would rain on […]
Songs Scouts Sing
My mom has been wanting to clean out her bookcase. Today my sister helped her go through it. They came across the book, “Songs Scouts Sing” published by the Boy Scouts of America in 1941. It is just what it the title describes – a song book for scouts. Inside the cover is stamped with […]
Impromptu is Best
Yesterday my mom and I hoped to go to a concert, but my mom’s back was hurting so much, we weren’t able to. Today she had an appointment first thing this morning, then the rest of the day was free. Thankfully, she was feeling much better and even had some energy after her appointment. So, […]
