Move In Day
My sister and I have been working hard at getting the house ready for her to move in. We were able to sell many of the estate items and donate others. An estate dealer sold some things and took everything else out of the house that was not needed. Once the house was pretty empty, […]
Pale Blue Dot
Tonight as I was flipping through channels, I stopped on a program about our relationship with the stars. As in the stars in the sky. A couple of college filmmaking students travelled to Big Bend’s dark sky area. Their guide taught them how to look for the different constellations in the sky and prepared them […]
God Took Care of It
A couple of months ago, a friend of mine told me that her teenaged grandson had moved in with her. It was very unexpected. She was happy he was there and that he felt comfortable and safe with her. It has been quite some time since she had a teenager living in her home and […]
New Carpet
I was elated that today the carpet in my basement was replaced. As they were tearing it out, I could see how deep the dog accident stains had penetrated and how far they spread. It felt so clean and fresh to get the 26 year old carpet out and get a new one in. I […]
NaCl Torch
After weeks of preparation – years actually – today was the day for the big house clear out. During the past 2 years, my siblings and I have been working hard at reducing the amount of estate items. We have kept some, sold some, donated a lot, and shared treasures with extended family and friends. […]
Sharing the Load
My sister and I are together this weekend. She got the Hallow app not too long ago and we have been sharing podcasts that we enjoy with each other. This morning we listened to the daily reflection together. Then we played the trivia game, which we weren’t great at. We played the categories game and […]
Joyful Move
I was talking to a friend today who recently moved into an affordable retirement community. The land was actually donated by the adjacent church. They partnered with a local construction company to build the apartment complex. My friend said she is so blessed and happy to be able to live there. She said it’s cozy […]
One Hectic Week
My new granddaughter was born one week ago, and it has been quite a week. There was planning and expectations that went right out the window. I have said many times that everything changes when you have a baby. My son and his wife have been on a roller coaster of emotions which were all […]
She’s Home
I admit I was a little surprised when I heard from my son today and he told me that his wife and new baby were going to be released from the hospital. Both of them received a clean bill of health. I guess the doctors and nurses were even surprised that the little one was […]
Blessed By Community
Today our community hosted a BBQ, so I made a delicious fruit salad to bring, my brother grabbed the chairs, and we headed over. Even though my brother is here sporadically, he knows a lot of the neighbors. Part of that is because he walks his dog around and meets people. Many of the residence […]
