Friendly Teller
Today we made a trip to the credit union. I don’t even know how long it’s been since last time we were there. My dad made his way in while I was getting my mom out of the car. When we got in, my dad was already at a window being helped. I went to […]
The Dainty Warthog
Today my brother, sister, and I took my parents to the zoo. We knew it would be a challenge with two wheelchairs and lots of hills, so we were pretty happy when we saw the tram parked just inside the entrance gate. Our driver, Juan, was very helpful and entertaining. Our first stop was the […]
Uninhibited Play
It was finally a beautiful warm sunny day. So I packed up lunch and we went to the park. This particular park had an area of fountains and water sprays for the kids to splash around and run through. After we ate our lunch, we took a little stroll through the playground and got in […]
Year Anniversary Visit
Today we had a wonderful visit with my nephew and his wife. It is the first time we have seen them together since they were married exactly 1 year ago. As we talked about the past year of pandemic, they noticed what a unique time it was. The first celebration of their marriage was with […]
Lemon Bars
The other day my mom went through her old recipe box. I suggested she find one that we could make. She chose lemon bars so I got all the ingredients. We made them this evening. It has been a while since we baked together, and my mom said she doesn’t even know the last time […]
Visiting Nature
Today we decided to go out and enjoy the gorgeous day. We headed to a nature center I had visited last year. We started inside the building that was full of things to see, touch and hear. The tactile exhibits were fun and engaging. From there we followed a short paved trail with signs identifying […]
Great Family Get Together
I was happy to get to church again this morning and bring Communion home for my parents. After our little service, my mom hopped on her piano to play, “The Lord Bless You and Keep You”, which was in her mind. Then we had a great family get together including my two sons, two sisters, […]
Exciting Possibility
My son from the east coast flew out for a long weekend and came for a visit today. It was wonderful to see him in person and give him a big real hug. While he’s here, he will be looking for homes and meeting with a potential employer. He and his family are hoping to […]
Post COVID Ballgame
Today my son took me to a baseball game for my mother’s day gift. The stadium was not filled to capacity due to COVID and it was a little strange not to be crowded, but to me it was a good transition – especially since it was outside. It felt amazing to be out enjoying […]
Spring Again
After a couple days of cold and snow, it felt wonderful to get outside today. I was able to take a walk and enjoyed seeing the blooms and green popping up everywhere. And the air smelled amazing. It was very nice to just take a few moments and revel in the Spring environment. I Found […]
