Happiness
A Little Mama
Today I got some pictures of my granddaughter. My parents and I commented on how she is looking more like a toddler now and less like a baby. She was holding a baby doll in a couple of the pictures. In one she was hugging it and in another she was holding a bottle in […]
Got the Message
I was just tired today – perhaps it was the weather. So I sat down in front of the TV tonight and flipped through the channels. There was a new show on that I had seen the previews for. It was a sitcom about a family with a son who has special needs. I hesitated […]
Finding Beauty
Columbus Day weekend was always one that I looked forward to when I lived in the Northeast. Mostly because it meant a long weekend with the Fall foliage colors at their peak. A couple of years I headed to visit my son over the weekend and would take the route that went through the mountains. […]
Man Time
Yesterday, my brother drove all day and arrived late last night for a visit. It was so good to see him. We talk via Facetime, but of course it isn’t the same as being in person. Today he and my dad took a drive up to the cabin in the mountains. I didn’t realize he […]
Next Stop
Yesterday I said good-bye to and hugged my grandchildren, my son, and his wife and drove half the day to have a short visit with my other son before I head back home. After driving for a few hours in the rain, I was glad to see a break in the weather. I settled in […]
Pampered
Last week I offered to treat my daughter-in-law and whoever else she wanted to invite to have a spa day of her choice for her early birthday present. Today was the day. She, her best friend (whose birthday is on the same day as hers), and I all went to have a mani-pedi. I had […]
Enjoying the Mountains
Today my family and I headed to the mountains. We spent some time at the cabin, hiking around, and visiting some of the neighbors. Just up the road, we spotted some tracks so we went to identify them. I came to the conclusion that they were cow tracks as the cows are pasturing in the […]
Fun at the Farm
Today my son, his wife, and their kids flew in for a visit. I was glad there were no major delays or problems with the flights and that everyone seemed to do OK. We stopped at my sister’s farm for dinner before we headed to the house. As soon as we got there, we snuck […]
Another Celebration
Today my sisters and brother-in-law came over to the house to celebrate father’s day since we were all unable to get together last weekend. They got some Asian food and made my mom’s chop suey recipe, which is my dad’s favorite. Some of my sister’s friends stopped by for a little visit. It was her […]
Planning a Family Visit
I have been trying to get a trip planned for weeks now. Today I finally made reservations. My son, his wife, and their 3 kids will be coming for a visit. I am so glad they were able to get it worked out. And I am super excited for my parents to meet their new […]
