Young Love
My dad had a dermatology appointment today. He remembered that when he was a young adult, he had terrible acne. It was treated with radiation or x-rays for quite a while, but unfortunately, it didn’t help. My dad said it eventually went away on it’s own. But, it didn’t seem to bother my mom. She […]
Whirlwind Trip
It has been a whirlwind the last couple of days as I continued to travel. The day after the wedding, I had breakfast with the bride’s parents. After a few minutes, the bride and her new husband came in. It was unexpected and joyful. Then, the bride’s dad and some of his friends had the […]
Celebrating Men
Today my sisters, son, nephew, and a friend came over to the house. We celebrated my nephew’s birthday and Father’s Day. We had a great party celebrating the men. My nephew and son told us stories of their night out and we laughed and laughed. They kind of grew up together when they were little […]

Mom Found God
As I was thinking about what to write tonight, I asked my mom where she found God today. We chuckled a little, because she had a really difficult time at Mass this morning. She struggled to find the readings, couldn’t find the songs in the hymnal, and couldn’t hear the priest. There was also a […]
Yesterday’s Tomorrow
The other day when my mom went to the neurologist, he tested her cognition. One of the “brain teasers” he gave her was: If today is Thursday, what is the day before the day after tomorrow? And then the other way: What is the day after the day before yesterday? She really struggled with those […]

Moms Showing Baby Pix
My nephew who joined the Navy was able to get some time off and is in the area. This evening we made plans to get together and meet his new girlfriend. That reminded my mom of a funny story. She dated a young man in the Navy for a short while. During that time, he […]

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 […]
Pair of Photographers
A friend of mine, along with her brother and sister, went to Wyoming last week to view the eclipse. A few days later, she shared some amazing pictures that her brother took using his telescope. I thought they were truly spectacular. I showed them to my dad who was equally as impressed and wondered what […]
