Christmas Music Back On
We haven’t seen my mom’s piano buddy for quite a few weeks as she had a lot of things happening. She came over today and we all got caught up on the family events. After a while, she and my mom got out some Christmas music and started playing. She also brought over some easier […]
Five Year Change
Today at my aquatic aerobics class, people were talking about how they have changed in the past 5 years. One person said they learned more about who they are. One said they are more patient. One who retired a few years ago talked about how they are now OK with not being busy every second […]
A Welcomed Invitation
Today I took my mom to her exercise class and sat in the waiting area as always. There are usually a couple other caregivers there, but today I was alone as I watched the class. After about 20 minutes, a woman who I have met a couple of times walked in. She invited me to […]
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, […]
