Happiness
Happy Dance
I was blessed to spend another beautiful day in nature at the cabin. It seemed like every time I went outside there were more and more aspen leaves turning from their summer green to their autumn yellow. My brother, his dog, and I took a long walk. He showed me a quiet little spot off […]
Home From Honeymoon
This evening I made the drive to the airport and back to pick up my son and his new wife. They spent several days in Germany seeing the sights and attending Oktoberfest in Munich. They shared some photos in an online album during that time. They fit right in with their German attire and were […]
Race Team Dream
I printed some photos of the wedding and put them in a little book to show them to people. I figured it was easier than passing my phone around. As I was showing them to some friends today, we talked about my grandchildren and what they were doing. I shared that my older grandson had […]
The Wedding
It has been a whirlwind of excitement and joy during the past several days as we celebrated my younger son’s wedding. The day before the wedding, my daughter in law’s mother hosted an intimate shower and tea. I was grateful to meet many of the ladies in the family, including the grandmother who I heard […]
People Arriving
Today 3 out of 4 of my siblings plus my brother in law arrived safely at my house. We visited and laughed and reminisced as we get ready for a busy couple of days. Tomorrow my other sister and her son and his wife arrive. I’m looking forward to having a house full of people […]
Getting Real
My son called me today and gave me an update on his pre-wedding happenings. He said he picked up his suit that he will be wearing and had to find a place to hide it in his closet. He and his fiancee have been moving her things into the house and they were making one […]
Wedding Outfits
I was happy that my sister was here for a couple days. I put on my outfits for the upcoming wedding and showed her. She helped me figure out what jewelry would look nice. She forgot to bring her dress with her, but had a photo. Today we went to the shoe store and she […]
Bear Investigation
My brother and I have been doing a lot of cleaning at the cabin. Yesterday he loaded up his truck with a couple bags of stinky trash to take down to the community dumpster. Unfortunately, they had already closed. So, the trash stayed in his truck overnight. Before we went to bed, we discussed what […]
Cool Air
It has been so hot lately. I have been able to open the windows in the morning for maybe a couple of hours but then have to close up the house and run the air conditioner most of the day. Last night, a cold front blew through and cooled things down significantly. It was so […]
Granddaughter’s Birthday
Today was my granddaughter’s 10th birthday. We went to a restaurant where she received a balloon, a happy birthday song from the employees, and an ice cream sundae to go along with dinner. I gave her a necklace that belonged to my mother that I thought would look nice with the dress she is wearing […]
