Happiness
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 […]
Father’s Weekend
We spent the weekend at the cabin for Father’s Day. That is where my dad loves to be. We had mini celebrations on each day. On Saturday, I made a terrific dinner as I knew we would be gone much of Sunday. We also worked on some projects he had been wanting to get done. On Sunday, […]
Royal Gorge
When my son and I made arrangements for him to visit for a few days, I wanted to do something fun that my parents would also enjoy. They hesitate going out on new adventures and it causes some anxiety. I had always wanted to take the train ride through the Royal Gorge. I thought this would […]
Feeling Good at PT
I have been going to physical therapy for a few weeks now working on rehabbing a hip that I threw out doing Zumba. I am realizing that my body is not what it used to be. There has always been music playing in the background, but I have been so focused on what they are […]
Overcoming Obstacles
My mom and I watched one of my favorite shows, “Dancing With the Stars” tonight. My sister watches as well and we text comments back and forth as the show progresses. Tonight each of the 5 contestants that were left gave a brief story of their life. Not surprisingly, each of them had a struggle […]
Helpful Worker
The other day my dad was having some trouble logging into his bank account. He tried different things until he got locked out. Today we went to the bank to get it resolved. The young woman there was very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. My dad was so happy to get it corrected and was so […]
