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 […]

The Closing

My realtor picked me up this morning and we headed over to the title company to close on the sale of the cabin. The buyer’s realtor came as well, even though the buyers had signed their part of the documents electronically yesterday. It was nice to have her there as we got a better picture […]

Years of Enjoyment

My brother and I finished emptying and cleaning the cabin today. As we were working, the buyer’s realtor stopped over to walk through. The buyers live in another state, so she was relaying the details to them. She said they are planning on the cabin being a vacation home and eventually their primary residence. She […]

Labor of Love

My family and I have spent the last few days working hard at clearing out the cabin. My brother has been staying at the house and working on it for a couple of months already. This weekend, my sister joined us as we had a big moving sale. Many of the people who came were […]

Apartment Intervention

I met up with my prayer group and one of the ladies told us that she was moving. We were all surprised. We knew that the circumstances in her current apartment were not very good, but didn’t know she was looking for a new place. Evidently, she really wasn’t, but said that God planned the […]

Passing the Cabin Along

A couple of months ago, my siblings and I agreed to sell the family cabin. It was a difficult decision to make but needed to be done. While I was on my road trip, we had a family come look at the place. Then they looked again. And again. Thankfully, my brother was up there […]
