Dancing Dad
As I was out and about today, I was stopped at a red light near the elementary school. This particular light is very long, so I have time to look around and notice things. Across the street was man walking with a little girl. I assumed he was the dad. As they approached their crossing […]
Puppy Antics
After a fun, family weekend at the cabin, we got things ready to go home this morning. My brother was scheduled to arrive this afternoon as he returned for the summer, so we wanted to make sure everything was ready for him as well. My son and his wife recently got a new puppy and […]
Country Music
Today I brought Communion to the elderly woman who I have been seeing every week. I told her it was St. Patrick’s day. She said she went to St. Patrick’s church a long time ago. I told her I do too and that is where Communion came from. After she received, I showed her some […]
Communication
The first caregiver that we hired about a year ago still comes over 2 days a week. She has been such a hard worker, very reliable, and a calm presence. She is also Japanese and has difficulty hearing. Her accent is very strong and I wasn’t sure at first how she and my mom would […]
Funny Card
I got my mom a funny card for Mother’s Day. It had 5 little chicks in it – same number as her children – so it was perfect. I also got a funny one for my sister with a singing cat as she loves kitties. I figured the best thing I could give would be […]
Rare Form
My mom woke up this morning with energy after a long night’s sleep. She even exercised before breakfast. Instead of using the wheelchair, she used her walker to get around all day long. The new caregiver was here and she commented on what a nice and beautiful girl she was. My sister’s boss stopped by […]
Party Poodle
I went out for a short walk today and came across a young man walking his dog. I could see we were going to cross paths, so I sped up a bit to respect their space. As I was in front of them now, the young man said, “Hello!” very loudly. I turned around and […]
Phoning Friend
Today I was looking through my social media comments and saw a friend’s name. At that same time, my phone rang and her name popped up. She was calling me. That was quite a surprise. I told her about the funny coincidence and we laughed. It had been a while since we talked and got […]
Still Doing That
A friend came over today and announced that her daughter is pregnant. She shared pictures of the recent ultrasound of the tiny fetus only about 6 weeks old. She also showed us a 3D ultrasound of a relative’s baby who will be born soon. My mom’s reaction was priceless. She thought the pictures were amazing […]
Human Rain Tent
It was a very rainy, stormy day today. In the afternoon, I went out to pick up some lunch for us and my mom’s friend who was over for piano day. I thought I was in between downpours, but I was very wrong. In some places, a whole lane was covered by a small river. […]
