Long Distance DWTS
I have been watching Dancing With the Stars fairly regularly. Last year when I was helping my daughter in law after surgery, we would watch it together with my grandson too. He moved out of state last month. My daughter in law has been missing the things that they would do together. Tonight as I […]
The Drones
A couple of weeks ago, my sons asked if I was free last night. I said I was. They said that they would pick me up and planned something for my birthday. I had no idea what it was. My siblings and I tried to guess in our weekly Zoom session before they arrived. I […]
Learning to Dance
My son’s wedding is less than a week away and that is pretty much all I can think about. We had been talking about what song to have for our mother/son dance and finally decided on “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts. We both remembered that I used to sing it to my son in the […]
Humming
I spent some time volunteering at the Newman Center today. One of the young ladies was humming as she went from here to there. I loved hearing that. I told her I enjoyed her humming and it reminded me of my mother who always had a song playing. The young woman said that she felt […]
Dancing Dad
As I was out and about today, I was stopped at a red light near the elementary school. This particular light is very long, so I have time to look around and notice things. Across the street was man walking with a little girl. I assumed he was the dad. As they approached their crossing […]
Church Beginnings
I been trying to finish sorting out the different kinds of media here in the house, including the VHS tapes. There are so many that my dad recorded – particularly Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes. There are also some family movies, recordings of events, and some that are undefined. I had a stack that I […]
More Music
My brother is here going through the last few cassette tapes that we found. Years ago, he spent time with my dad digitizing the tapes of my mom playing piano and singing in different venues, and of family recordings. However, as I was sorting out things, I came across a handful of cassettes that my […]
Marching Band
Laat year I learned that a friend’s daughter was attending the same high school that I graduated from and that most of my siblings went to. The teenager was also in the marching band. My friend shared lots of photos and videos on social media. And I saw her at their annual craft fair/fundraiser. My […]
Entertaining Dog
My son and his fiancee had tickets to spend the day at the local Renaissance Festival today. I was happy to take care of his dog for the day. They brought her to my house this morning so I got to see their Renaissance attire which looked very festive. It was fun having the dog […]
Singing in Heaven
When my dad was alive, he and my brother worked hard to digitize the family cassette tapes and CD’s. They included family updates with us kids talking, as well as my mom playing the piano and singing. We found a box of cassette tapes at the house, so my brother went through them today to […]
