Gift of a Blanket
The other day I received a notice from my church that there were some handmade blankets available to give to the people who are homebound. They were knitted or crocheted by a ministry in the parish specifically for the purpose of sharing them with others. Since I visit a woman who has dementia weekly and […]
Morning Hike
I have been doing a few things with a singles social group from the church. There is a lot of going out to lunch, which is not really a favorite thing of mine to do. I enjoy chatting with the people who go, but it costs money, and I would rather do something more active. […]
State Stories
My grandson has been excited to create video stories during our road trip. He has a whole vision of doing a segment in almost every state we drive through. The series would be named, appropriately, “State Stories.” He even set up a YouTube channel for the collection. Yesterday as we explored little towns near Mount […]
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 […]
