Happiness

Happy in the Mountains

My sister and I spent some time this morning doing things that needed to be done at the cabin before we took off. As we reminisced, my sister realized that she hadn’t been up there in about 3 years. It was bittersweet for her. At the same time, we had a fun weekend and resolved […]

Sister’s Company

My sister has been house sitting for a friend of hers. She came back home here last night and worked today on her computer. I was busy getting more photos ready for the upcoming craft fair. I would get one packaged up and go show it to her. She is very discerning and has a […]

Sharing Her Childhood

My daughter in law has been getting very bored as she continues to recover from her ankle surgery. She is still non-weight bearing and has her foot elevated the majority of the day. Yesterday we looked through a list of things to do and one of the suggestions was to make a photo album. My […]

Friend’s Success

A friend of mine has been crocheting super cute hats and things and selling them at craft fairs. Recently, a store was interested in the hats, so she gave them some to sell. Not surprisingly, they have been selling very quickly and the store is ready for more. She texted me today to let me […]

Clear Adventure

My friend and I decided to try to take a drive in the mountains this week. However, she cares for her mother and she wasn’t feeling well the day we planned on going. I completely understand that situation. So, we decided to wait. We had the opportunity to go today and took it. My friend […]

Perfect Fall Day

I have been wanting to drive a certain gravel road that I know of through the mountains. It was a gorgeous day today and a friend of mine was able to get away, so off we went. We first took the highway to a mountain town. The Fall colors were stunning after the cool, wet […]

Strength

Today my son participated in a power lifting competition. My sister and I went this morning to watch. We saw him do the squat and break his own state record. Some of his friends were there so we visited with them too. There was some lag time between each event, so my sister and I […]

The Race Car

Since my grandson was a child he has been obsessed with race cars. He would make detailed tracks out of cardboard and put his hot wheels on them. He even learned how to make stop motion videos, creating his own stories with crashes and cotton ball smoke. When he lived near a race track, he […]

Hiking Dog

My grandson and I have been taking turns caring for my son’s dog while he’s away. It has been super hot here and not pleasant at all to walk the dog in the afternoon. Today I decided to take her to a park that I have been to many times. It is a little higher […]

Getting Out

Today my brothers and I decided to get out of the house. It was a relatively cool day so I packed a lunch and we went to one of favorite state parks which we had not been to in a long time. We hiked a little more than we originally anticipated and my legs made […]
