Oh! Canada! — Rover Travels
Tom and I finally made it into Canada! We hooked up our den-on-wheels early in the morning and reached the border around lunchtime. There was another one of those little roadside dens on the other side. We’ve been seeing these tiny dens right along the road all the time since we reached the Atlantic Ocean […] […]
Flicker
It was a beautiful day in the mountains today. I took a short walk with my mom and a long walk with my dad. We took notice of all the flowers, bushes, and trees blooming almost as we watched. We walked down to a creek at the bottom of a hill where the forest floor […]
Beneficial Laughter
My mom is always reading magazines and articles about health and well being. And most of the time she reads out loud to help her keep her voice strong and to share with my dad and I. Today she read about how laughing can increase the immune cells and antibodies in your system. It was […]
Old Legs
This morning I went to a physical therapy session where the therapist pushed on my lower back as we continue trying to resolve my hip issue. It was pretty darn painful at the time. I had some errands to run and shopping to do after I was done. I arrived at one store and got […]
Airport Driver
Tonight was the weekly “retreat” that I have been going to. The topic for the evening was trusting in God. It is necessary for our spiritual growth, but isn’t always easy to do. I seem to go back and forth. Sometimes I hang on to whatever control I might have and other times I can more […]
Long Awaited Reconnection
I didn’t sleep too well last night – had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. Then I was awakened at 3:30 by a text and again at 4:30, but that was OK. I had asked my son to keep me posted as he traveled. I was very excited to see him – it […]
And Exhale
Today was the day my dad had his pacemaker implanted. It was an early morning as we made our way to the hospital in the dark. My mom stayed at the house with my sister. My dad was one of the first to have a procedure done, along with 2 other men. They checked in […]
Bubba
Due to my mom’s Parkinson’s disease, her voice gets quieter and quieter. It also affects her facial and throat muscles. She has been going to voice therapy to help strengthen all of these and I often go with her and listen. Her homework for yesterday was to memorize a long joke, tell it to the […]
Swim Down
My daughter-in-law is very, very ready to give birth to the little one she has been carrying. I talked to her tonight as she told me how she is doing. It seems like it has been a long waiting process and a lot has happened in a few short months. We are all ready to […]
No More Monitor
After my dad passed out a few weeks ago, the doctors never really found a reason for the episode. They wanted to check his heart further, so he has been wearing a heart monitor for a little more than 3 weeks now. It consists of 4 electrodes stuck on his body connected to a monitor. […]
