All the Weather
My son and his fiancee went to a wedding over the weekend. I told them I would pick them up from the airport tonight. The weather has been unsettled, so I checked the hourly forecast and radar. It showed there would be some rain showers probably on the way back. Still, I knew that may […]
Climbing Rocks
My grandchildren are on school break this week and the weather has been amazing, so I wanted to take them out and about. Today we went to one of the nearby National parks. First we went into the visitor’s center and enjoyed the interactive displays that showed the history of the area and the wildlife […]
Disney on Ice
The other day my son asked if I wanted to go to Disney on Ice with him, his wife, and my granddaughter. It sounded like a pretty fun time, so I accepted his invitation. We went this afternoon. In the car was playing all Disney music and we sang along. I loved hearing my granddaughter […]
Unknown Pilgrimage
Today I went to Mass at the old church in the small town near the cabin. I had been there several times and would take my parents when we spent time at the cabin. As I looked around at the church, it appeared brighter to me. There were lights behind some of the statues that […]
Perfect Puppy
This morning I got together with my friend with the puppies. I asked if they were at their new homes yet. They are going this weekend. One was placed immediately. The other was supposed to go to a certain home, but it didn’t work out. My friend called the next person on the list and […]

CeCe Winans Concert
A friend of mine used to work for Compassion International and now volunteers for the organization. This group uses individual sponsorship to support children living in poverty and dire circumstances. A couple of weeks ago, my friend asked if I wanted to volunteer with her at the upcoming CeCe Winans concert. I love the gospel […]
Priestly Support
I was so happy and grateful to talk to a priest friend of mine today. I haven’t seen him in years, but he has always been a great support for me and my family. Today circumstances seemed right to actually talk on the phone. During the conversation I asked him about a ski trip that […]
Snowy Fields
It was such warm weather today, I decided to take a walk around a nearby park. This particular park has a couple of playgrounds and a large artificial turf field that can be used to play several soccer or football games at one time. It was super windy when I arrived. I always wear a […]
Track Trade Show
A couple months ago, my grandson bought himself a little sprint car to race at the local dirt track. He has been learning all about it and figuring out how to get it up and running. Yesterday he surprised me by asking if I wanted to go to a trade show with him. It was […]
