Marching Band
Laat year I learned that a friend’s daughter was attending the same high school that I graduated from and that most of my siblings went to. The teenager was also in the marching band. My friend shared lots of photos and videos on social media. And I saw her at their annual craft fair/fundraiser. My […]
Sewing
A couple weeks ago, I went shopping and bought a couple of new shirts. I have put on a few pounds over the past year and needed clothes that fit a little better. However, I am very frugal and don’t like to spend a lot of money. I did find a couple cute blouses on […]
God’s Rock Formation
My brother and his dog have been here for several days. His dog was having some stomach problems, which took a couple of days to resolve. She has had more energy and seems to be feeling better now. So, today we decided to enjoy the outdoors. It had been a long time since my brother […]
Out of the Pit
Much of today’s devotion from “Jesus Calling” really resonated with me. It talked about being in a state of depression and in the darkness. I feel like I have felt that way for quite some time until that past few months. The reflection is from Jesus’ standpoint as He says, “Your only hope is to […]
Take a Real Break
My sister has been working very hard for a long time now, typically working around 50 hours a week. She was in desperate need of a break, so she took some time off and went to visit her son. I talked to her last night as she was getting things ready for her flight. She […]
T-ball
When I went for a walk this afternoon, I heard a lot of people yelling and cheering. As I went around a corner, I saw the reason for all the excitement. There was a T-ball game happening at the small ball park across the street. I stood and watched for a minute as adults were […]
Pink Pearl
My brothers, sister and I had a wonderful 4th of July. We took turns cooking our specialty meals and making homemade ice cream. When I was on vacation, one of our stops was Lake Eerie. While we were there, I bought a packaged fresh water oyster that was promised to have a pearl inside. I […]
Strawberry Picking
One of the things I missed most about the east coast was the fresh produce. I used to go to farms and pick strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apples, and pumpkins. It was always fun and delicious. Today a friend was going strawberry picking and invited me to go. I was thrilled. It has been so rainy, […]
Fun in the Sun
I was blessed with another beach day today. This one was with a friend and her granddaughter. Since it was a warm sunny day, there were a lot of people who had the same idea. Thankfully, the beach itself didn’t really feel crowded. It was fun to watch the little girl run in and out […]
Beach Time
It was a hot day on the east coast. Seemed like a good day to head to the beach. Most of my grandson’s friends are finishing their last week of school, so I picked him up and we headed to Maine. My daughter in law’s family made an annual trip there for many years. My […]
