Day and Night
My dad has been delving deeper into his genealogy and finding very interesting stories. His great-grandfather’s mother’s maiden name was Day. The man’s fiancée’s mother’s name was Night. Living in the area were 6 Days and 7 Nights. As told in the genealogy book written in 1894,”…by the marriage the Day and Night were made […]
Pinching Patience
Today my mom, dad, and I read the scripture for the day. It was about needing to forgive others the way God forgives us. The prayer and challenge was to practice forgiveness throughout the day. My mom said that she already forgave my dad. He answered that it was for something he didn’t even know […]
Real Snow Scene
Yesterday, we had a birthday party for my sister. She had been wanting a karaoke machine for quite some time, so we all pitched in and got her one. She was ecstatic as she got it all cued up and started singing, reliving some of her glory days when she was in a band. Her […]

Today, my son shared with me something that his priest said in church today. Jesus called Peter to lead his church. His name is translated “Rock”. […]

A Good Doctor
Today both my mom and dad had an appointment with their cardiologist. He is a pretty great guy, always comforts them, makes us laugh, and helps to put things in perspective. We always learn something from him and he and my dad have interesting intellectual conversations. The good doctor gave them both a clean bill […]
Eventful Drive
Our drive home from the cabin today was interestingly eventful. I had only been driving about 5 minutes when a small buck came onto the road and started crossing right in front of me. I had to put the brakes on to avoid hitting him. I guess it scared him too, as he turned around […]
New Aerobic Instructor?
After joining the YMCA, the first thing I wanted to try was a water exercise class. It is very early so I figured could be back in the house probably before my parents awoke. Waking up was a shock to my system, but I was determined, so I made myself move and got myself there. […]
She Has the Answers
This evening, my parents and I watched the NFL pre-season football game. We follow our team to some extent, but not overly so. There were many new people who we did not recognize or know anything about. Each time my dad and I asked a question, my mom had some answers for us. It was […]
