God’s Rock Formation
My brother and his dog have been here for several days. His dog was having some stomach problems, which took a couple of days to resolve. She has had more energy and seems to be feeling better now. So, today we decided to enjoy the outdoors. It had been a long time since my brother […]
Take a Real Break
My sister has been working very hard for a long time now, typically working around 50 hours a week. She was in desperate need of a break, so she took some time off and went to visit her son. I talked to her last night as she was getting things ready for her flight. She […]
Successful Shopping
My son’s fiancee’s mother and I have been putting off buying a dress for the wedding. She has had surgeries, and my body has been changing for the past year. The wedding is 2 months away now, so we made a date to go shopping today. My son’s soon to be mother in law had […]
Ever Loving
Today I got together with a friend. We hadn’t seen each other in several months and she was eager to hear about my road trip. I started with the highlights of the places we visited such as Mount Rushmore, a renovated opera house in Nebraska, the antique shop in Missouri, Lake Eerie, Maine, and such. […]
T-ball
When I went for a walk this afternoon, I heard a lot of people yelling and cheering. As I went around a corner, I saw the reason for all the excitement. There was a T-ball game happening at the small ball park across the street. I stood and watched for a minute as adults were […]
Back To It
I have had visitors since I returned from my vacation. My brother left this afternoon, so I was alone once again for the first time in 6 weeks. I ended some of the activities that kept me busy before vacation, such as physical therapy and counselling. But today I picked back up with other commitments […]
Rainy Camping
Tonight my brother and I were invited to our neighbor’s for dinner. She wanted to have an outside picnic. The weather was questionable, but seemed ok when we sat at the outside tables. It did start sprinkling on the guys, so we had to rearrange a bit. We got to talking about camping in the […]
Picking Out the Suit
Today I had the amazing privilege to go with my son to pick out a suit for his wedding day. He had tried a couple of stores, but struggled to find something that fit him properly. He picked me up and while we were on our way to the shop, he told me about the […]
Home Safe
My grandson and I made it home today from our big road trip. It was a long, yet quick 5 day drive back. I dropped my grandson off first. When we pulled into his driveway and turned off the car, we looked at each other and together said, “We did it!” He was so excited […]
Beauty All Around
Today my grandson and I made it to the flatlands. We noticed the difference in environment and scenery. Even though it was still hot, it wasn’t as humid, so the air felt different too. As I drove, I thought about the beautiful world we live in. We only went through part of the country and […]
