Pruned Tomato Plant
Several days ago, I bought a tomato plant and planted it in a pot outside. As the day went on, some of the branches were wilted. My sister realized that it had broken. She cut it off at the broken part and put the cutting in some water. It did start growing some roots, which […]
New Pizza Place
I recently joined a group at the church of older, single people. The purpose is solely to get together and socialize. The other day, one of the coordinators called and asked if I was going to meet them for lunch today. Honestly, it wasn’t even on my radar. But, as I talked with her, I […]
Talk of the Town
I was happy to spend a lot of time outside today in the warm air and sunshine. My brother and I went for a walk and I even had energy enough to do some gardening. I had a couple of seed packets that I planted in the big pots that are outside. Being outside here […]
Pope Leo XIV
After several days of cold and wet weather, the skies cleared today. My brother is here, so we went out for a walk to enjoy the sunshine. As we left, I got a text from a friend saying that she heard there was white smoke coming from the conclave chimney. I couldn’t find it, and […]
Conclave Art
Today I watched some of the proceedings of the cardinals entering into the conclave. I was amazed at the incredible artwork that the cardinals would be viewing during their time in the Sistine Chapel. As they pray and contemplate who the next man will be to head the Catholic Church, they will be reminded of […]
Joyful Auto Shop
Perhaps like many people, I dread finding an auto shop. I have had my current car for 2 years and figured it was time to get an oil change and get it checked over before I take it on the road this summer. I did my research and decided on the one that received the […]
Affordable Housing
A friend in my prayer group had been on the waiting list for subsidized housing for the elderly for 2 years. A couple months ago she was notified there was an available apartment and she was able to move. Today the prayer group met at her new place. It was very cute and cozy. Her […]
Climbing Rocks
My grandchildren are on school break this week and the weather has been amazing, so I wanted to take them out and about. Today we went to one of the nearby National parks. First we went into the visitor’s center and enjoyed the interactive displays that showed the history of the area and the wildlife […]
Hosting Prayer Group
I have been getting together with my prayer group for many years. We take turns meeting at each other’s homes. All this time I have never had them at my house. We would occasionally have the neighbors over for a short visit, but in general my dad wasn’t comfortable having people over. I think it […]
New Music
The weather was warmish today, so I asked my grandson if he wanted to take a drive up to the cabin with me. He was happy to and even offered to drive his truck. I accepted the offer and he picked me up. The sunshine was so warm on the way up that he even […]
