Chatty Men
Today I went to lunch with my dad, mom, and a family friend. We tried a new restaurant and sat at a large booth with a large table. It was a little difficult to carry on a conversation as the music in the background was a little too loud and the booth behind me held […]
Not Judging
My dad had another appointment with the cardiologist today. He doesn’t see his doctor every time he goes, though. When he last saw the doctor, he made adjustments to my dad’s blood pressure medication as they try to get that more controlled. Today’s follow up appointment was with one of the Nurse Practitioners. The office […]
Cheerful People
We had several errands to run today and I anticipated that there would be a lot of people out. There were. But people were very happy and helpful. My dad found an item that he had been looking for with the help of the sales clerk in the store and got some other questions answered […]
Fe
Today my parents, a friend of theirs, and I went out to lunch. A young man wearing an interesting t-shirt came in and sat at the table next to us. Both my dad and I were staring at the shirt and I am sure he knew it. So I simply acknowledged it out loud to […]
Patience at the Checkout
I try to get to the grocery store during times that are not too busy. However, my latest trip happened about the same time people get out of work and stop at the store on their way home. The check out lanes in the store I go to have what I like to call a […]

It has been just over a year now since my sister broke her leg. She was a long time in a boot and then therapy to learn to walk on it again. Since then she has been working hard to get back to “normal”. She, my other sister, and I decided to go for a […]
Future Policeman
My dad has been trying to get the garage door serviced for weeks now. The first time it was scheduled, the serviceman had to cancel as he had a sick child. So we rescheduled. My mom was in the hospital on the date of the second appointment, so we cancelled and rescheduled. The third time, […]
Point Well Made
It was a hot dry day today, so I decided to get the 4-wheel drive vehicle washed. It has been taking many trips on dirt roads and you couldn’t walk by it without some of the fine red soil brushing onto your clothing. I took it to the usual place. I always chat with interesting […]
A Fascinating Ministry
Today I took the car over to the local car wash to get a good cleaning. It was a beautiful day, so I waited outside as the workers washed it inside and out. As I sat on the bench, I gave my sister a call. We talked about times we might be able to get […]
The Hand Made Sign
Every time I drive by a certain street corner, there is a man there who holds a hand made sign and waves it as he walks around. Typically, there are too many words on the sign to read while you are driving by. Today I went to lunch with my mom and her friend. We […]
