Making Friends
Today there was a fair at my granddaughter’s school. Since it is so close to my house, my son, his wife, and my granddaughter parked in our lot and we all walked over. It was super hot, but we all had fun playing the games and eating cotton candy. It was joyful watching my granddaughter […]
Wood Troll
My friend and I greeted today from the cabin. During breakfast we talked about what to do and decided to go into town. My friend looked up a place to get a good cup of coffee. That was our only goal for the day. When we got into town, we went into the casino that […]
God’s Country
When I thought about what to do when my friend was here for a visit, I realized it would be a great opportunity to go to the cabin. So, today my brother went to the house in the city, and my friend and I went to the cabin. She was in awe just from the […]
Joyful Visitor
When my son bought his house a few years back, two of his friends moved in as well and rented rooms. After a couple years, both of them became engaged and moved out. One of the previous roommates moved out of the city, but comes a couple days each month for work purposes. Then he […]
Mass With Family
Since my mom died, my son and his wife have been making a concerted effort to go to Mass with me. I went this afternoon as tomorrow morning I will need to be taking care of my other son’s dog. My son, his wife, and my granddaughter were at church too. It was a blessing […]
Family Fun
I was so grateful for this day. As usual, my Sunday morning started with Mass. I planned on meeting my son and his wife there. I spotted them when I arrived and was surprised to see my other son and fiancee there as well. It was a blessing to pray with them all together and […]
The Engagement
My son met an amazing young woman 2 1/2 years ago. From the beginning she has been a blessing in our lives. Once she became a licensed massage therapist, she came over every week to give my mom a soothing hand massage. Even when my mom wasn’t up to it, she would just come over […]
A Good Day
Adding on to the previous post. We spent the day yesterday reminiscing and remembering my mom. We worked on her obituary and a slideshow of her life. We went through hundreds of photos and listened to the recordings of her piano playing. While it was sad, it was also joyful as we realized what a […]
Library Day
The other day I found out that the library’s summer reading program started today. My granddaughter is a fantastic reader, so I asked if she wanted to participate. She said she did. I was happy that it worked out so I could take her this afternoon. When we arrived at the children’s area, it was […]
Across Countries
This morning bright and early I saw a video from my grandson. He is in Monaco for the Grand Prix. The video showed the cars whizzing by as they practiced on the course. My grandson had a good vantage point at the cafe where he was hanging out. We started texting and he shared photos […]
