Past
The Diner
My grandson has been enjoying going to some of the places he used to visit when he and his family lived here. The other day and again today I took him to an old time diner. I remember on Sundays, whoever went to church with my daughter in law’s mother would get treated to breakfast […]
Pentecost Blessings
I was so blessed this Pentecost Sunday. I went to Mass at my old parish and realized how much I missed the priest. I loved his message in the homily and his beautiful singing voice. The church had been renovated and was just beautiful. I decided to grab my camera and go back for the […]
Expanding Hearts
I have been listening to a podcast based on Father Jacques-Philippe’s book, “Interior Freedom”. Today’s reflection seemed very meaningful to me as my brother and I were just talking about the importance of trying to live in the present moment. Honestly, it takes a tremendous amount of self-discipline for me to live in the present. […]
Passing Along
The intention for Mass at my church today was for my mom since it is her birthday. Our friend who my mom played piano with for so many years came to church with me. The Psalm 27 seemed particularly fitting, especially the response, “One thing I seek; to dwell on the house of the Lord.” […]
Whatever Happened to the Sun
As I continue to go through things in the house, today I sorted out a box of memorabilia that included school papers and such from me and my siblings. It was fun to see our drawings and thoughts we had as children. I came across a couple stories that I had written. One I remember […]
Sharing His Legacy
I have been in touch with our local space Discovery Center for several months, discussing making a donation. Over the years, my dad accumulated hundreds of textbooks and military documents about space. After bringing the Discovery Center a couple of boxes of items and talking with the young woman about what I still had, I […]
Hosting Easter
Since my mother died not quite a year ago, I have not hosted any family events here at the house. I am blessed and grateful that my 2 sons are here and have risen to the occasion. We had Thanksgiving at one house, and Christmas at the other, not to mention in between get togethers. […]
Encouraging Wisdom
This morning I had brunch with some new friends from the church. It is an organized group of older, single people who get together for a meal or events a couple times a month. You can just participate in whatever you would like. One of the ladies I talked with is the oldest at 89 […]
Amazing Reconnection
Today I was going through some of my dad’s military paperwork that he kept when my sister came upstairs and looked through some of them as well. She said she used to work with a woman who happened to be the daughter of a man who worked under our father. She asked if I had […]
Dad Interviewed
I continue to sift through files, folders, and boxes of treasures. Today I found some more of my dad’s military information including housing, promotions, and awards. I also came across an airman’s magazine that included an article about him and the Air Weather Service. It highlighted their work watching the sun and doing their part […]
