Joy
Family Game Night
My sister and brother were both at the house this evening, so we decided to play a game. I called my son and he came right over and joined us. It was a fun night full of laughter. There is something so joyful about playing games with family. I loved it. I Found God today […]
Longest Walk Yet
Today was just a gorgeous Fall day. The sun was bright and warm. The air was clear and crisp. The wind was light and breezy. There were still several butterflies flitting about. My parents and I headed outside to enjoy the afternoon. A few days ago I contemplated cutting down the waning flowers in the […]
A Little R&R
My sister came to spend the weekend with my parents, so I made plans to visit a friend and headed to the mountains. On the way, I stopped at an apple orchard that was somewhat disappointing – especially compared to those I explored on the east coast. But I did buy some apples from their […]
Meeting People
It is difficult to meet people and make friends when you move to a new place. Since my son moved here a few months ago, he has gotten to know a couple of people he works with, and met a couple people at the gym. A friend of mine’s granddaughter is part of a young […]
Disney Binge
Last night I was really in the mood to watch a movie, but it was too late to start. Today after church, it was a pretty quiet afternoon. Unfortunately, my mom wasn’t feeling well, so she has been taking it easy, resting and napping. Also, I was a little sore from horseback riding yesterday. So […]
One More Milestone
My nephew who joined the Navy a few months ago reached one more milestone. Today he graduated from his training and is officially a Seabee. My sister was there for the ceremony and sent some pictures. He has definitely changed during the time he has been away and he looked great. I could see the […]
The New Park
I was out and about today and picked up a smoothie. I thought it would be nice to sit somewhere outside and enjoy my drink, but I didn’t want to go too far away. Then I remembered that a new park was built near the house and I have been wanting to check it out, […]
Brass Band
We went up to the cabin today and spent a little time in the nearby town. They were having their 4th of July festivities which included live music. We sat and listened as the band started playing. They were pretty good, but what I enjoyed most was hearing the trumpets and saxophone. I just love […]
Move Over
My mom and I talked to my sister tonight. She worked hard to get her place sold and everything taken care of. The last few days before the closing were a crazy whirlwind. After my son and I helped her, she said she would be able to take care of the rest, so we left. […]
Starting the Job
My son started his new job today. He purposefully took some time before he began so he could get set up in his apartment and have a little down time. He came over for dinner and told us all about his first day. I don’t think I am yet used to the idea that he […]
