Not Too Much Snow
Today some photos from 5 years ago popped up on my phone. The pictures were of my old house covered in snow with a freshly cleaned driveway. That was a particularly snowy year and I remembered spending a lot of time shoveling out my tiny entry way to keep it from being completely enclosed. It […]
Good Neighbors
In my aqua aerobics class, we have a topic for discussion on Wednesdays. Today’s topic was good neighbors. I shared my story of the wonderful neighborhood we lived in when my oldest son was a child. There were 4 houses that were all very good friends. The kids played together and the adults socialized together. […]
Fast Response
My brother called this afternoon to check in. He has been on the road traveling for over a year straight now. We talk to him a couple of times a week to virtually travel with him as he keeps us up to date on where he is, what he is doing, and what he plans […]
Four Years
Today a picture popped up that I shared 4 years ago. It was of me, my parents, my friend who drove here with me, and my dog. It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since I moved here. I still miss my dog who lived only a few months after we arrived. […]
Great Comfort
My parents had a sofa for a long time that wasn’t really comfortable for anyone. They had talked on and off about replacing it, but weren’t exactly sure what they wanted. Finally a few weeks ago, they decided on a Lazy Boy that fit them both just right. It was delivered yesterday. Tonight after dinner, […]
Mind At Ease
We recently had some hail damage to the cabin and are working on getting it fixed. One of the issues is that the rubber boot around one of the vent pipes was completely destroyed. The assessor who looked at it fixed it temporarily with about half a roll of duct tape, but there has been […]
Persistent Attitude
When I lived in this area many years ago, I used to enjoy going to the “Parade of Homes” and looking at the newest and fanciest houses. My mom really loved it too. We saw it advertised this year and my mom wanted to go. So, we reviewed the locations, bought some tickets, and headed […]
A Trip Thoroughly Enjoyed
I made it home last night after a long day. I hugged and kissed my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren – several times – before they left for the day. When I headed to the airport, it was pouring rain. I questioned if my first flight would be delayed, but it took off on time. […]
Good Oxygen
As we spent time at the cabin, we brought an oxygen monitor just to check and see how much the altitude affects us. Both my mom and my dad had oxygen levels around 94, which is great. I did pretty good too. We talked about how lucky my parents are to still be able to […]
Get To Cleaning
I got up bright and early this morning to get ready for the carpet cleaner to come. I picked everything up off the floor that I could. The guy was running a little late, so I cleaned the bathroom. He showed up as we were finishing lunch and got to work. It was very mild […]
