The Little Mermaid
As a Christmas gift for my granddaughter, I got tickets for the live performance of The Little Mermaid at our local Fine Arts Center. Tonight my daughter in law, granddaughter, my sister and I all went to the show. It was a true musical with very little dialogue – mostly singing. For many of the […]
Good Friendships
A friend of mine has been struggling with her health and work and life in general. She used to come out when a group of us got together, but she has been unable to for quite some time. But she has stayed in the group chat and always has funny things to share. I was happy […]
Sharing Treats
Today I made some cookies. Tonight I had dinner with some long time friends. I gave them each a box of treats. They were so happy to have them. I realized that for the past couple of days, I have been pretty joyful spending time making goodies and putting them together for my friends. And […]
A Different Kind of Thanksgiving
We all knew Thanksgiving would be different this year and honestly I was a little emotional going into it. My son and his wife hosted the meal as it would be easier on them both. I made the pumpkin pie and apple crisp, my sister put together the charcuterie board, and my brother provided the […]
Music Day
We have been wondering what to do with the filing cabinet full of music that my mom had. The other day, my mom’s piano duet playing friend came over and looked through the music. She paired up the duet pieces and took quite a stack with her. Today my sisters and I got together on […]
Sharing Good News
I heard from a friend today who has been caring for her mother for many years. She has been consistently going to agencies seeking help and praying for it as well. Today she was thrilled to share the good news that she was finally able to get some financial relief. I was so happy that […]
Taking the Stairs
I took my daughter in law to her first physical therapy appointment since her ankle surgery 4 weeks ago. The therapist showed her some ways to help the swelling go down in her foot and gave her some exercises to get more strength and mobility. He also recommended that she now use a rolling walker […]
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 […]
