Bonus Shopping

I found myself with a little free time today, so decided to stop by the local thrift store. I wanted to find a couple pairs of pants for my mom as many that she has just aren’t fitting right and are uncomfortable. As I entered the store, I was greeted with a plethora of Fall […]

Receiving More Care

It’s been a challenging week. Thank you to those who have reached out. I do very much appreciate it! A couple weeks ago mom was feeling awful and we went to the Emergency room. They said she had a UTI and off we went. Last weekend she again was feeling terrible. Her blood pressure spiked, […]

Blessed Time

Today I was running errands and perusing outdoor games. I came across a water balloon slingshot and was reminded of my Youth Ministry days. I particularly thought of the Workcamp trips that we would take each year. We spent one week serving the community and fixing up houses for those who were unable to do […]

Lots Of Help

I had my annual doctor’s appointment for myself today. I was very happy that we have connected with a caregiving service and was able to schedule someone to come over to be with mom. She was very nice, as they all are. Later in the day my sister left to be out of town for […]

Girl’s Day

Today my sister came over, so it was girls day at the house with my mom and her 3 daughters. I did take advantage of the situation and snuck out for a massage, which was amazing. Other than that, we didn’t really do anything special, just visited and did some cleaning and worked on a […]

Outside News

This morning my mom and I got outside while the sun was warm and the air was cool. I got her all set up on the porch with a book and her water bottle while I worked in the garden area. The HOA has been working on fire mitigation and removed our 3 bushes that […]

Back Home

Today my son and I picked up my other son and his family from the airport. We needed 2 cars to fit everyone. The drive to the airport was not bad as it was nice and early. There were more people on the highway on the way back, but traffic was still moving so it […]

Returned

After working in the Florida Everglades for the winter, my brother was happy to be finished. While he was there, he pretty much wore out his little camping trailer. Constant heat and humidity left it in pretty poor shape. Before he left Florida, he purchased a new one. After he picked it up and tested […]

They’re Back

Ever since our hawks – I call them “ours” because they made a nest in our tree – left last Fall, we have been wondering if they would return to the nest for mating season. I have been keeping a close eye out because this was about the time we saw them last year, but […]

Old Neighbor

We met a woman today and talked about family and past homes. As it turned out, she lived a few houses away from my parents before they moved into their current home. They were neighbors for about 7 years but never met each other at that time. We laughed about what a small world it […]
