His Word is Alive
The completion of my first semester of the Bible Course included a test and a reflection. I also had to choose 2 scripture verses to memorize and we shared them in our small group. A couple of days ago, I was reading the daily Mass readings and one of them struck my heart: Hebrews 4:12 […]
Award Winning Photos
My dad has had a few different careers during his life. But one thing that has remained with him from the time he was a young teenager is photography. Just as music is to my mom, photography is to my dad. That is how he expresses who he is, how he sees the world, and […]
Miracle Hands
My mom has been to her physical therapist for a couple of weeks now. She has miracle hands. She can find the exact spot that is giving my mom problems and get it worked out. We were there again today and she worked on two specific places that are causing pain. While it is not […]
Piano Cassette
As my mom was resting yesterday, my dad found some small portable cassette players and got them working. He found some tapes to play and one of them was a recording of my mom playing the piano about 30 years ago. That is when she says she was at her best. My dad got the […]
Skilled Student
Today we made an unexpected trip to the hospital as my mom was having pains. They did the full work up and found nothing, which was good news. So, of course, I’m very grateful for that. We attributed it to the intense exercise class she had yesterday. In the hospital, they started a pic line […]

Day of Ancestry
My dad has a cousin who has visited with his family several times some years back. They have continued to stay in touch and share stories and pictures of the family history. My dad and sister have been working hard on putting together an album that tells the story of their heritage. My dad’s cousin […]
Enjoying Learning
When I heard about the lunar eclipse, I wanted to try to get some pictures with my new camera. I read through more of the instruction manual and tried out some new settings on the sunset. When the moon was in view, my dad and I took some more shots. Being the photographer, my dad […]
Super Support Group
Today my mom and I went to the monthly Parkinson’s support group. This month, we broke into 2 groups – the Parkinsonians and the caregivers. Many of the caregivers talked about what a blessing the group has been to them and their loved ones. There is so much information and wisdom that is shared. Everyone […]
