Respectful and Friendly

Today my mom and I went to the garden store. As we were walking through the door, a man who was an employee was just walking a woman out. He finished his conversation with her and turned to my mom. “Isn’t it just perfect outside?” he asked. “It’s not too hot and not too cold. The sun […]

An Amazing Memory

My mother has an amazing memory that seems to be more and more clear as she continues on an upward swing. We always laugh about how she would probably remember all the details of any event from any number of years ago, but at the same time she can forget why she walked into a room. […]

Three Little Words

Prayer For Boston

I have several friends on the east coast and just cannot believe all the snow they have been getting. The news coverage of Boston is amazing. I wonder what the mood is like there in the city and how people are holding up. Tonight I read an awesome prayer for Boston by Fr. James Martin […]
