Happiness

They’re Here

During all the upheaval of life, my son and his family decided to move here from the east coast. I could hardly believe it when the decision was made. That seems like forever ago. My daughter in law and two of the kids flew in the other day. It wasn’t a pleasant trip as my […]

I Lava You

Tonight we watched a little TV on the Disney channel. We usually like to watch a “short” to kind of wrap it up. Tonight we came across “Lava”. It was just a little story of 2 volcanoes in love put to a catchy tune. My mom sang it and now it is in my head, […]

EDM

I had a good opportunity today to listen to some music, so I put on my Pandora app. I listened to a couple of fun songs, but they were not the contemporary Christian that I was expecting and I wondered how they popped up. Then I realized I was still on the EDM channel that […]

Promised Peace

After our blessed time at church yesterday, we all slept peacefully and even slept in late. I can’t remember the last time that has happened. After breakfast, we decided to get outside before the forecasted rain storms arrived. My sister, parents, and I went to a local park that my parents hadn’t been to for […]

New Childhood Story

As many stories as my mom tells about her life, I am still surprised when I hear a new one. Today during the social time after her exercise class, the leader asked what the participants did with their siblings. My mom said they would go to the park on Sundays and that was a really […]

Dad’s Spa Day

My dad has been wanting to get a haircut for quite a while now. We had intended on getting it done a couple of times, but it didn’t work out. However, today was the day. My dad was ready to go and my brother was ready to take him. My dad received the VIP treatment […]

Graduated Grandson

I was so excited to attend my grandson’s high school graduation today. The ceremony was held outside and the weather was perfect as the drizzly rain stopped early. It remained overcast but not too cold and the sun came out towards the end. Last year due to COVID, the school came up with a system […]

More Energy and Laughter

When I was planning my trip to the east coast, I decided I would have to make time to go to the beach. Today wasn’t warm and sunny, but there was nothing planned for the day so it was a good opportunity. My sons, daughter in law, and two grandchildren donned our sweatshirts and headed […]

Got Our Ice Cream

As my parents, brother, and I were deciding what to do this morning, we talked about going to the nearby park. We could watch the children play in the water area and walk around a bit. And, the ice cream man is usually there. That made the decision. When we arrived at the park, we […]

The Dainty Warthog

Today my brother, sister, and I took my parents to the zoo. We knew it would be a challenge with two wheelchairs and lots of hills, so we were pretty happy when we saw the tram parked just inside the entrance gate. Our driver, Juan, was very helpful and entertaining. Our first stop was the […]
