Loving Ways
I was happy to make a trip to the cabin today. We got the hot water heater replaced that had been in the house for 40 years. We decided to take care of it before there were any problems. While I was there, I did some cleaning. As I went from room to room, I […]
Carpet Cleaning
We usually have our carpets cleaned once a year after the summer. This year I decided to go with a company owned by a friend. The wife was just a kid in the neighborhood we lived in many years ago. It was a wonderful community and we were all like family. Her son came over […]
The Roofers
Several months ago, our neighborhood got hit with large hail which did plenty of damage to the houses. Since then, we have seen and heard roofs being replaced just about every day. Today we had a great view of a house undergoing it’s restoration. My mom loves watching what is going on and we usually […]
Parent’s Prints
A friend of mine shared this insight to parents about their children from St. Mother Teresa. I thought it was particularly interesting as this morning I heard the song, “Cat’s in the Cradle”. “You will teach them to fly but they will not fly your flight.You will teach them to dream, but they will not […]
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 […]
