Relationship
Memories
I am so happy that my son and his girlfriend are here visiting for a few days. My son sat down at the piano and his girlfriend joined him. I loved listening to them play and sing together. My parents did too. It reminded them of when they were younger and my mom played the […]
Relationships vs Tasks
Today at the grocery store, I came upon an elderly woman who was wearing large dark glasses and using a cane. She was accompanied by a young man probably in his early 20’s with longish hair wearing a camouflage shirt. They were perusing the meat. At first I thought she may be blind, but she […]
My sister makes an amazing coffee toffee. She came over for the weekend so together we could make large quantities of the candy for friends and family. I had never done it before, so she gave me jobs and taught me along the way. Of course, she has it all down to a science and […]
Unique Talents
My brother has been staying with my parents for a few weeks while I was helping my sister get situated at her house with her broken leg. He helped them with all that was needed – cooking, doctor appointments, taking them to church, etc. Of course, all relationships are different, and my brother brought his own […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
Meeting the Granddaughter
I finally made it safe and sound to my son’s house to see my new granddaughter. There was no problem traveling and the weather was good all the way. When I got to their house, there were hugs and tears all around. First my son, then the baby, my daughter-in-law, the baby, the grandsons, the […]
Letting It Out
By the time I ended my day yesterday, I had a headache, was exhausted, somewhat sad, and a little cranky. So I went out for a leisurely walk. I try not to put my problems on anyone, as I know everyone has struggles of their own. But I decided to call my sister. We chatted […]
Learning to Drive
My nephew has been learning to drive. His mom takes him out driving every now and again in the big busy city they live in. It has been challenging to say the least. They stayed overnight last night and when I asked this morning what people wanted to do, it was suggested that I take […]
Relationships and Laughter
Over 20 years ago, I worked with a group of people at a local retailer. Some of us became pretty close and kept in touch – mostly through one particular person. We called one of the guys “Fr. Jim”. I guess we always thought he would make a great priest. He did in fact become […]
The Heart of the Matter
Today I took my mom to her appointment to have an echocardiogram – basically an ultrasound of her heart. As she laid on her side, the technician moved the wand type device over her heart and the image came up on the monitor. I thought it was amazing. I could see the valves of her […]
